"Weren't you going to shower?" asks husband. See, it's not that he cares about the shower. It's that his #adhd brain arbitrarily decided to coincide his homework (~20min) with my shower (also ~20min) so he'll be motivated to finish first. But he can't start until I shower. So.

So. Lost my ADHD Twitter auto-login because of new computer, and the password retrieval process was going to take upwards of several minutes. So I didn't log in. For MONTHS. If that ain't some #ADHD nonsense, I don't know what is.

DID YOU KNOW..... Rate of left-handedness in population: ~10% Rate of (diagnosed) ADHD in population: ~9.4% My dream is that someday, being ADHD can be as commonly accepted and embraced as being left-handed. #ADHD #neurodiversesquad #theresnothingwrongwithme

A small #ADHD victory for you all: For years, I missed out on Terry Pratchett books because I saw his entire body of written work not as collection of discrete books, but as a SINGULAR MASSIVE UNIT, and it terrified me. Today, I am halfway through "Witches Abroad." โ˜บ๏ธ

I gotta say, it is a special type of hell to have the soul of a highly-motivated, high-achieving, straight-A's to-the-moon go-getter, and be stuck in the brain of an #ADHD gremlin with the engine power of a Tonka truck.
