A Cool Guide to the 3 ADHD Types
(i.redd.it)
So every personality is ADHD?
When it prevents you from doing day to day tasks, or even tormenting enough to make you depressed most of the time, then it clearly starts being a disorder. Otherwise, it's just normal human behaviour.
"Starts", heh. 😅😶
I think I should emphasize the "clearly" part but yeah, the symptoms can appear from before it being a disorder. If you have any suspicion that you may need help, it's never hurt to check with professional. After all, having a false positive is better in this case than speculation.
Mine were symptoms before the acronym existed, so yeah. Also, it can definitely be a challenge to find the right mental health professional, so the phrasing's a bit off. "It's wise" would be better.
Babe wake up, new spectrums just dropped.
You know, the way inattentive ADHD is described here fits me incredibly well. I was recently diagnosed with it and this actually helps my understand my condition a lot better. I distinctly remember talking to my friends about some weird textures in a room in FF14 and they were just astounded that I even noticed it, now I know why lol
I do this shit all the time. When I'm watching movies, I'll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I'll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.
I'm definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.
Yeah I will impulsively pick up hobbies and buy into them as well. I'm not sure how much a doctor could help with that sort of behavior tho? That seems more like something you'd want a therapist to help with.
Side note, when you're watching something again, try looking where the piece isn't focusing your attention. I don't mean just in mysteries or similar, I mean take in the extras and see the world around the focus. Many times, it might take you out a bit, but you just might catch something entertaining. Personally, having enjoyed doing some work as an extra, I like seeing the normal people on set. Most of the time, they're doing what they're asked to, but every so often, there's a gem: a little kid can't help but look at the camera, or someone misses their mark, or there's a Starfucks cup the crew forgot. 🤓
Starter Pokemon in 202X
More like always been our starter pokémon, it's just wayyy easier to notice the more dystopian capitalism gets considering ADHD is like the antithesis of the neurology of a "successful capitalist"
It really sucks to live in a world where your strengths are difficult to utilise.
I have a lot of talent for a lot of things, and enjoy pursuing what interests me, which is usually beneficial for others.
Nobody wants to pay me to do it though.
Hey mom look at this graph I'm ADHD too! I'm special!
