Was just informed by my mom that I do in fact have ADHD and the reason I thought I didnāt was because ever since I was seven whenever I got super energetic my mom would have me go chop wood so now when Iām feeling The ADHD I go chop wood and I thought it was just some sort of routine I started when I was little and wanted to blow off steam
Iād also like to point out that my sister has a really hard time staying present (I canāt remember the term because weāve always called it Tethered at my house) and whenever sheās feeling Untethered my mom has her knead bread and make syrup because theyāre repetitive and easy things to do that ground her
Now that Iām thinking about it- my brother has days where he doesnāt talk and doesnāt eat unless heās prompted, and on those days my mom sits him down in the fish pond in the backyard and plays Mozart and because heās so used to that being his wake up he always comes back in after like an hour rambling about random things
Oh yeah and when it rains my mom has a required hour where we all have to go outside and run around and whoever finds the most worms for the garden wins and then we go inside and my mom makes us tea and we watch Studio Ghibli movies
Wait!!! When one of us has a bad day at school we make a fire in the backyard and roast homemade sausages and my mom tells us stories until we laugh and then she tucks is in bed like weāre five again and sings us songs
Uh.... wait guys is my mom a witch raising a bunch of fae kids hold on-
āI didnāt know I had adhd because my mom gave me such an effective coping mechanismā is such a high bar to clear and she soared over it like a space-plane.
