Wait, what was I doing?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is like having a brain that runs on a different frequency. It's not broken - it's just tuned to a different cosmic channel.
Think of it as having a Ferrari brain with bicycle brakes. Lots of power, creativity, and speed, but sometimes the stopping and focusing parts need a little extra help.
Hyperfocus: When interested, we can focus like a laser beam
Creativity: Our brains make unique connections others miss
Energy: When we're excited, we have boundless enthusiasm
Spontaneity: We bring fun and unexpected ideas to everything
Time blindness: "I'll be ready in 5 minutes" = 45 minutes
Executive dysfunction: Knowing what to do but can't start
Rejection sensitivity: Criticism hits extra hard
Forgetfulness: "Why did I walk into this room?"
Medication: Sometimes our brains need a little chemical help
Routines: Structure helps, even if we resist it
Timers & Alarms: External reminders are our friends
Body doubling: Working alongside others helps focus
ADHD is a neurological difference, not a character flaw. It comes with challenges, but also with unique strengths and perspectives.
We're not lazy, broken, or "not trying hard enough." Our brains just work differently, and that's okay.
We're not neurotypical, we're neuro-SPICY! 🌶️✨
