I have a superpower.

I can remember a mistake I made or an inconvenience I caused 5 years ago but I can't remember what I ate 2 hours ago 🙂

Person with ADHD: Oh shoot I can’t find the Thing

Person without ADHD: Why don’t you try retracing your steps? :)

Person with ADHD: Okay, I’ll give it a try…

Step 1: The Thing was in my hand.

Step 2: It is now very much Not in my hand.

Conclusion: The Thing is inexplicably gone from existence.

Being kind isn't actually about how much shit you can quietly take. You can be kind and still shut down people who attempt to use and manipulate you. Kindness is about treating others well whenever you can, not about how much you're willing to suffer for others. So don't confuse being kind with being a victim and a pushover. No one with your best interests at heart will claim that it's the same thing.

When you have ADHD thought process often has the same dynamics as a eager conversation but with self.

And sometimes my brain tells me jokes that I can't repeat because it would require me to repeat the "conversation" to make sense of them and make them funny.

I have inside jokes. Literally.
