One of my toxic ADHD traits is that if paying a bill requires me to enter too much information, I just don't. Usually they then sign me up for this cool service called "collections" where they fill out all the info for me and all I have to do is enter my card number. It's very convenient. 11/10.

a montage as I code with intent for the first time in a long while. It seems that I make the same face when I code as I do when I spar. A thing I do as someone with profound ADHD, is that when I can focus, I record myself talking a process out and then I use the transcription to stub out my code.
Something I've been working on on-and-off for a couple of months is some tweaks to my Manual of Me, prompted by getting a new manager, and wanting to rethink the "things you should know when working with me", as well as delving much more into how #ADHD can affect my work, and some more reflections - and I'm glad that I've finally put the finishing touches on those updates.
Also re-reading my blog post from when I first created it, it's wild to think that this was the first time I'd started using Classless.css, which is now a staple of my microsites!

If I ran a dentist practice in 2024 I would simply advertise that we're ADHD-friendly and say up-front that we would just see you and treat you, and would never, ever remark on or shame you for the state of your teeth or how long it's been since you've last seen a dentist

ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think? Or it's just the adhd is comorbid with me being me?

Pro tip: If you want to stop being friends with an autistic ADHDer, you probably need to tell them straight out. Because all this "fading away into the woodwork" doesn't work with people who will often not speak to their friends in years without any of the friendship feelings changing. Not seeing someone doesn't change that we think of them as our friends. So not being in touch with us, doesn't communicate "I don't want to be friends anymore". You're going to have to say it. And don't worry, we'll respect your wishes. We just need to know to understand. #adhd #audhd #actuallyAutistic

ADHD is not ācanāt sit still disorderā ADHD is āposting in 10 group chats, subreddits and other posting platforms, never using the search function to see incidents of the same question being raised, asking for tips on how to do complex things like feed yourself and do one task. Upon discovering that you just sort of have to do the thing, you close all the tabs. You ignore your previous attempts to find an answer and do the same post a week later in the hopes that someone has come up with the perfectly suited to you way to do one task. You feel shame and embarrassment and anger and often nothing at all, whilst neurotypical people tell you that itās easy to do one task you just have to want to do it. You want to do a lot of things but even the things that give you joy are insurmountableā disorder :)

Okay, #ADHD folks - what symptom suddenly makes sense, now that you understand ADHD better? I'm not talking about general stuff, like difficulty concentrating, I'm talking about specific phenomena, like having trouble following a conversation at a party. I always thought I had this problem because my ears are about a foot higher than the people speaking, but now I'm starting to think that the real difficulty is that my brain has trouble turning the volume down on all the other talking in the room. (I will occasionally repost this, along with whatever new symptom I've thought up... Apologies for the repetition) #ItAllMakesSenseNow
