PSA about ADHD
✦ADHD is not a personality quirk
- some things that tag along with ADHD are:
~sensory processing disorder
~executive dysfunction
~poor fine motor skills
~sensory overloads (that lead to meltdowns)
~sensory seeking (self stimming)
~hyperfixations
~moderate to severe memory problems
~Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria- is an extreme emotional sensitivity and emotional pain triggered by the perception that one is being rejected, teased, or criticized. The emotional response is complete with suicidal ideation and people suffering from RSD often get misdiagnosed with serious personality disorders. RSD is only seen in people with ADHD and the emotional sensitivity/reaction is much more severe than that of a neurotypical person.
✦Some other “fun” ADHD things!
~inability to regulate emotions
~no concept of time
~noticeable public stimming (resulting in stares from neurotypicals)
~no impulse control
~insomnia
~listen but cannot absorb what is being said
~no volume control
~increased inability to focus when emotional
~difficulty stopping a task and transitioning to the next
~social anxiety
~higher levels on generalized anxiety
~extremely forgetful
~”all or nothing” mentality
@ neurotypicals- some things to be aware of:
- you cannot hyperfixate. only people who are neurodivergent can hyperfixate. please don’t use that word when describing your latest obsession :-)
- please don’t stare at neurodivergent people who are stimming in public
- be respectful of those who actually need fidget toys so they can subtly stim in public
- if we forget something you tell us it is not because we don’t care, we just have a million other thoughts racing through our mind and no way to filter through them.
- please be gentle with us. no don’t tip toe around us and treat us like we aren’t human, but be aware that even offhand comments can trigger RSD. no we aren’t being too sensitive, our brains are wired differently than yours.

“Ohana, Nobody get left behind” Calligraphy by @arcytype
Live the CalligraphyLife.org
Everyone: Omg listen to this amazing podcast!!
Me, a person who can’t pay attention to anything that doesn’t have visuals for more than 3 minutes without being bored/distracted:
Hi! ADHD kid here. I know this feeling well! And because I’ve thought about it a LOT, I have some suggestions
In order not to get bored, I have to have four conditions met
Visual engagement (interesting to look at)
Audio engagement (interesting to listen to)
Mental/critical engagement (interesting to think about)
Tactile engagement (interesting to fidget with)
Sometimes a medium will fulfill all of them!
Video games are great because they’ve got their own visuals and music, they’ve got little tasks for me, and you operate them with the buttons or joysticks or keys or what have you. That’s all four boxes checked!
Some activities are NOT great. They miss boxes, or only partially fill my meter for engagement in some categories.
Sitting in a classroom at school requires me to sit still, and unless the teacher/professor has a good powerpoint there’s not much to look at. And maybe the lecture is review so it’s not even that mentally challenging. At least, not much that won’t distract me. But then you can add little tasks in to fill the gaps — if I doodle in class while I’m taking notes, I have something for my hands to do and something I like to look at! And it’ll fill up the rest of my interest in the “thought” category.
I almost never listen to podcasts without doing something else.
Podcasts for me are like lectures; they fill up my audio meter, and most of my interest meter. But I’m still lacking visuals and touch. Personally, I find that drawing can actually take away from a story unless I’m really just doodling little flowers or something. But here are some things that have worked for me!
Gardening - digging, prepping soil, weeding, picking out the rocks from the dirt, pruning, watering - all the gardening tasks require a lot of visual and tactile engagement, and a relatively small amount of focused attention.
Knitting, crocheting, embroidering - VERY tactile and visual activities, and unless you’re following a difficult or unfamiliar pattern you can just kinda do it. You maybe won’t make a tapestry, but a simple striped scarf or beanie hat will be alright for this.
Coloring books! I have this book of mandalas to color in, which is great for doodling while listening to a story
Video games! As long as they don’t have dialogue or things to read. I couldn’t play Bloodborne, or hit a story milestone in Skyrim, but like, the dungeon crawl part of Skyrim, or a game like Journey where there’s not much text, is great! I listened to the TTAZZ episodes while clearing Dwemer ruins
Taking a walk, if you’re somewhere you’d feel safe walking with headphones. If you don’t feel super safe walking alone, maybe get a couple friends with a similar issue together and have the hiking/podcasting equivalent of a silent disco
And a final note of things to avoid
Text or reading, as mentioned above - I can’t scroll Tumblr while podcasting because the language processin part of ya brain can either read or listen not both. Can’t read a book, nor write, cant hold a conversation without missing things
Watching tv, or generally trying to take in another story. I can only focus on one story at a time
Chores, homework, paperwork. For me, cleaning my room mostly means sorting through a lot of old papers and drawings, and it distracts me and often, again, involves reading. I’m better off listening to music while I do these things
Now go forth and listen to some podcasts!!
another thing you can do is lots of podcasts have transcripts that you can follow along with! i struggle with processing things auditorily too so not only does this check the visual box (looking at words) but it also checks the fidgety box if you scroll along with it and make the words bounce

im a fan of jigsaw puzzles myself for filling those tactile/visual meters
