RE: https://toot.cat/@woozle/116324189191503185
Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm not autistic, but I do have ADHD, which does, at times, trigger neurodivulgence.
Also, I am liking the application of inflectional morphology to DuckDuckGo.
The existence of DuckDuckGo implies not only the existence of DuckDuckWent (as @woozle demonstrates below), but also of DuckDuckHaveGone and DuckDuckWillHaveBeenGoing.
It's completely delightful.

"Courtney's house is that stereotypical explosion in a watch factory that somehow produces a watch. But, like, daily."

He's not wrong about the explosive watch factory part, but I don't think I produce "watches" with anything like daily consistency. 😆

Same.
And what's extra difficult is that while we're following our breadcrumb trail of seemingly random associations, we generally get interrupted every other thought with NTs' messages that we think wrong, we learned wrong, we're just doing it wrong, ad infinitum ad nauseam. It's exhausting.

Me, I need subtitles on everything because I have the ADHD and that's how my brain works.
But if Christopher Nolan is purposely turning sound effects up and dialogue volume down "because he likes it that way," then yeah Chris dude, you're doing it wrong.
Why we all need subtitles now:

me: okay, I need to not forget these fried eggs I just made and actually eat them
me *picks up plate with fried eggs* *walks across kitchen to take meds* *sets plate down*
also me *takes meds and promptly forgets plate of fried eggs exist until three hours later*
Braining while ADHD-brained means this sort of thing happens a lot.

tfw you, ADHD mom, want to show ADHD kid the photo of the guinea pig in a "Your prescription" packet (see prev repost) but you know you'll utterly derail kid from homework, so you turn to show your spouse but he's sitting there trying to concentrate on a score study and there's no point in showing the cats the guinea pig bc they won't care about a photo so you sit there boiling with suppressed #ADHD excitement energy that has nowhere to go

@mjt I've long felt that the name "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" is a label invented by a person who thought people like me were annoying and just not good enough.
So I own it by calling myself a Filthy Chaos Gremlin.
The "label" I prefer comes from Connor De Wolfe:
Dopamine Attention Variability Executive-dysfunction.
Hi, I'm Courtney, and I have ✨🌟 DAVE 🌟✨. 🤘🖖

@jk This thread & all the replies describe my life.
Most of the time, in order to remember to look at the list I've made, I have to put it somewhere it will be a physical obstacle to future me *enough to make future me irritated*.
It now occurs to me that this might somehow be the explanation for the mystery of why I found a pair of my sweatpants in the freezer.
Anyway, yeah, #ADHD is exhausting.

...for at least half an hour:
"Nichts. Aber auch gar. Nichts. Die Kätzchen sind verschwunden, Madame sprintet von einer Ecke des Wohnzimmers in die andere, und ich--habe kalte Füsse."
Over and over. I can't remember what came before or what comes after. It's just Roquefort with his cute little German dialogue until my #DAVE brain gets distracted by something else.

To Whom It May Concern:
If your individual post is so long that I have to scroll up more than 2x on my phone, that's gonna be a tl;dr from me. My attention span for reading longer pieces on my phone is sketchy at best (hi #DAVE)--and when I'm on here, my brain is looking for the microblogging flavor of dopamine hit. Make me work for it, and my brain skips merrily away.
So what I'm saying is, break up posts & thread 'em. 😘

"I don't clean when my house is a mess. I clean when my mind is a mess."
Not sure who said this, but I do know they were describing #ADHD, and they are 100% correct

@samir @mathiasverraes When my #ADHD kid is doing math homework especially, I (also with ADHD!) tell her all the time: "Stand up. Let's get moving so we can think." As the body moves, so the brain moves.
And that's not confined to ADHDers who *can't* sit still!

@oatmeal This was me with my #DAVE #ADHD having gone undiagnosed until last year, when I was 46. It has all vastly improved since I got on meds.
Still, when those wear off around 8:30pm every evening, I crash hard -- and am back up, ready to do ALL THE THINGS, 15 minutes later. 🙄

I do genuinely appreciate the confirmation requests and reminder messages from various businesses and medical offices concerning upcoming appointments. These messages provide me with a helpful service and save the other parties money. I get that.
But I really don't need 3 confirmation requests and 7 reminders. I have #ADHD and I don't even need that many!

Me: Alexa, set a reminder.
Alexa: What's the reminder for?
Me: "Go make a smoothie." *
Alexa: What time should I remind you?
Me: 2:20pm.
Alexa: Okay, I'll remind you at 8pm.

*ADHD/DAVE often requires me to set reminders to eat, otherwise I won't. The device's inability to comprehend my instructions makes this "assistance"...not.

#Today I will:
• finish a #CoverArt draft and send it to my creative director
• do final edits on THE ACCURSED (formerly titled The Flight of Elfled unBlessed)
• do effective work in physical therapy
• by use of suitable memory aids, remember to drink water, eat lunch, and take my meds.
That will be enough. 😊
