What are the symptoms of ADHD besides hyperactivity? All I've been exposed to is stereotypes of what it's like to have ADHD and I want to learn more!
well hereās what itās like for me
feeling like you need to Do Shit All The Time
like, literally every second
if you arenāt stimulated for even a second youāre incredibly bored
boredom is literally painful
worse than e v e r y t h i n g
feelin that sweet Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria⢠any time you get teased or insulted
when youāre listening to music you always tune it out eventually
not picking up on social cues At All
actually, what are social cues?
canāt regulate attention
not interesting = not worth paying attention to
āwAIT ITS 4 PM WHAT THE F U C Kā
did i forget to eat again
The Thoughts go from point a to point g in less than one (1) fuckin sentence
*someone says a thing* what *person repeats thing* what *person repeats thing again and you still donāt hear them but dont ask what again in case they think ur weird*
*someone says a thing* what *person starts to repeat said thing; you reply less than a second after they start*
using subtitles all the time so you donāt have to go back twenty times to determine What The Fuck someone said
āsorry i tuned you out for that entire sentence can you repeat thatā
needing e x t r e m e l y s p e c i f i c d i r e c t i o n s
EXTREMELY POOR VOLUME CONTROL TBH
tfw that thing u were working on falls apart and u cant redo it bc u already did it and that would be boring
long blocks of text are Extremely Hard to Read
ur fuckin brain works 12 times as fast as everyone elses. for every ADHD person itās somethin different. for me itās puns. ill choke on my own laughter at a pun an Entire Second before anyone else even gets it
^^ that one is a True Marker of an ADHD person. only ADHD people understand.
