this is now the 3rd time today i’ve seen the term “executive dysfunction” today, and i’ve never seen it before today. i can’t be the only one…
baader meinhof phenomenon!
Yesterday I learned the name for this and I keep seeing it
I think there’s a term for that.
yup, and i guess it also makes me one of today’s lucky 10,000 :P
It’s weirder that I recently was diagnosed as a 35 year old and now see memes everywhere. Knew something was off forever. But was “successful” so disregarded until I couldn’t.
Welcome!
The next step is realizing that the ADHD isn’t the problem. The problem is society is set up for typicals. We take drugs to fit their mould.
For the most part sure. But connection and conversation and intimacy have all improved even in my preferred settings and even my confidence in self of getting things done or remembering things even when on a multi day hike. Which is just tent / walk / water / eat / tent. And no tech.
Oh, yeah, the meds are great. I wish I found them twenty years ago
I will say in multi day hikes I spot every single wild animal, insect, flower etc. though. Probably was our evolutionary advantage that kept our brains around for all those years haha.
I’ve been hearing it so often lately that it was just awarded a place on my list of content filters.
If you’re blocking any mention of executive dysfunction what are you doing on an ADHD comm?
If you haven’t found it yet. How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe has been my only source of information/support in my rural hell hole… I recommend using libby to read it or whatever means necessary.
Me for the past 6 months…
