ADHD Moments

But there's more.

I want to hear every instrument that takes part in the melody. The breaths of the singer. The leitmotifs, every note, has meaning.

shout out to people with adhd whose hair has fallen out due to inability to take care of it

shout out to people with adhd who don't have the quirky relatable type of adhd

shout out to people with adhd who hoard or have rotting food in their room

shout out to people with adhd who are deemed gross

shout out to people with adhd who have moderate or severe adhd but weren't diagnosed until adulthood because they were abused or neglected

shout out to people with adhd who wear the same clothes all the time

shout out to people with adhd who get angry when understimulated

I haven’t seen that movie in about 20 years, but when I was a kid, I basically had it memorized. Maria was such a role model for me. I remember dancing around with couch cushions singing “I have confidence!” when I was still in kindergarten.

So in the scene where she runs into the abbey, late, and runs past the nuns who have just been singing about how to solve a problem like her, I said to my nephew, “we stan our ADHD nun queen” and then I was like, OHHHHHH.

“If we finish this chore then we can have a treat.”

-They talk loudly and turn on the TV and radio on full volume.

-They don't take off their shoes, leaving mud anywhere.

-They mix up your cleaned and dirty laundry.

-They take food out of your fridge but don't put it back.

-All your chargers have been fried in the microwave.

-Every single table and chair has been put upside down.

-All your shoes have been mixed up.

-They keep turning the lights on and off and occasionaly just steal a bulb.

-the computer is now in the bathtub.

-Everyone keeps opening the cupboards, grabbing stuff and then leaving them open. There is not a single clean fork left.

-There are several small fires, but they throw around the fire extingisher like it's a ball, always out of your reach.

-You beg them to leave you alone. They won't. You neighbor can't see them and says it's so easy to keep a house clean, you're just lazy and need to try harder.

breaks down over trying to start tasks until he deadline is stupidly close

unable to do basic chores unless it's like 4am and then the whole damn house gets cleaned

speaks too fast

tangent and tangent and tangent. makes social situations hard

literally unable to stop themselves from interrupting people mid sentence (and the constant "*interrupts*- sorry, please continue")

knows what they want to say, cannot find the words, even if it's something basic

auditory processing disorder (pretty common with adhd), like how do you explain that you can hear but your brain has minecraft server lag and the chat will appear soon

hyperfixations, and people thinking they are special interests when they are not (they are short term, literally stops you from basic care like eating and drinking when in) edit: it was brought to my attention this comes across like special interests are easier to live with which is not the case, please do not take that away from this post!!!

impulse purchases making bank accounts cry

all or nothing. not hungry to pain. don't need to pee until pain. you get the picture

cannot sit still, like actually can't, constant moving and shuffling which people think would be cute but actually just pisses people off

doesn't have a fidget toy, not bc they are popular but bc they would have to put it away bc dylan over there got a fidget spinner and has been loudly playing with it (dylan is neurotypical)

cannot do anything if there is something else to do that day, must wait
