OK, I've seen enough of these comments that I need to make the first rule.

Do not make condescending comments like "This is just normal things everyone does, not your self-diagnosed ADHD." or "Everyone has ADHD now /s"

This is a meme community for ADHD people, not your personal soapbox. We don't care why you think we find these relatable.

Making comments like these is causing those posting these memes to be discouraged, and dismissing their lived experiences. Don't be that person.

Just for the record, not every ADHD person is the same. I don't identify with all of these memes, nor do I think they're all necessarily ADHD-related. But even as someone with ADHD, I recognize that not every reacts the same way and I don't know all the possible symptoms of it. And If I, with diagnosed ADHD can't know that, you, a random lemming, certainly don't know either!

Likewise, if you find most of these memes relatable, you might have ADHD, or you might have Autism, or both! These two are close cousins, their symptoms overlap and they have a high comorbidity with each other. Relating too much with ADHD memes is a typical first step which led a lot of people to realizing they had it! Feel free to read up on the ADHD symptoms and get diagnosed if you think it's currently affecting your life significantly.

That said, anyone making this sort of comments, is gonna get a one-week ban from this community for party pooping. If you want to complain that "everyone has ADHD now" or some shit, go do it elsewhere. Naturally we use common sense. It's OK to ask questions in good faith.

As always, this is a "fuck around and find out" rule. We'll know it when we see it.

PS: Since we added a new rule, I could also use some mods to enforce it. If any of you is up for this, lemme know. I will only add people who I've seen interact with this or other ADHD communities positively.

And here's an extremely relevant meme to lighten the mood:

App Idea (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

A task list app that whenever you miss a deadline it picks a random contact from your phone and sends them a message (from you) calling them a shithead. If the same task is delayed multiple times it gets more and more rude in that message.

How can she get preliminary tested if we can't at the moment afford professional testing / two opinions? I tried looking into it myself but the only good tests I find online seem to be expensive ones as well

sorry mom 😅

one time the bus driver discovered my passed out ass once the bus was all the way back at the depot, and they kindly had someone drive me directly home in a company truck

So I’m in titration and I’m currently on Vyvanse 50mg. I’ve already tried methylphenidate up to around 60mg I think, but they just made me jittery. The Vyvanse doesn’t seem to be a whole lot better. I guess I feel ever so slightly better but it’s somewhat of an out-of-body experience and I feel the crash before the end of the work day. What I really wanted help with was my memory and context switching, and to be able to speak more clearly. I think that might have fixed all the other disorganisation issues, etc.

I’m considering asking to try the non-stimulant ones but I can’t really find anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness. Anyone tried them?
