Are fidget toys helpful for people with ADHD?? Like fidget cubes, fidget pens, etc...

I'm looking to buy one but I'm not sure to what extent it will actually be helpful

I’m trying to convince Boo (the name of one of the cats I’m babysitting) to stop eating the aloe plant (it’s not good for him) but my adhd keeps on getting in the way and making me say "aloe vera cat" instead of aloe plant

(video taken before I googled if it would hurt him or not)

ADHD is not a superpower, far from it.

“Think about your *own* ADHD in any way you want. Whatever helps you cope. But... “your ADHD is a superpower, and if you don’t see it that

Welp. Suffice to say, I think I know what one of my main reasons is for why my writing, among other things, has slowed to a crawl.

I rely on my hyperfixations to carry me through the things I care for, and when eventually the hyperfixation goes away, it’s suddenly extremely hard for me to continue even though I still love what I’m doing.

Like, goddamn it explains a lot and why various strategies just never work. Fortunately my school has a counseling thingie that I’ll be doing tomorrow, so thumbs up on that. Hopefully it goes well.

Everyone says that to help with executive dysfunction you should break a task down into smaller things but like.... what if youre brain decides that the small things are too small and they wont do anything. Im either ‘too big, cant start’ or ‘too small, wont be helpful’ and there is No Inbetween

ADHD, my recent experience.

Admitting that ADHD does have its flaws and difficulties to others isn’t hard. Admitting it to myself is much harder. I know I can do anything I want to, I just have to find a different way to do it. It’s hard trying to train your mind when all it wants to do is avoid anything that causes you stress or worry. The temptation to use my ADHD as an excuse for myself to not do things I know I can do is a constant challenge.

Oh there’re dishes to be done! I can’t do my work! The house isn’t clean! I can’t do my work! My Cat needs a bath! Oh, shit, now I’m having an RSD episode and can’t focus even if I try because I’ve worked myself up so much and become so stressed that I have to give up and in giving up it feels like failure.

Inattentive ADHD is a bitch. Sometimes I can’t even focus on how I’m feeling because I’m so fogged up in it. HOW IS THAT HELPFUL!? All I want to do is curl up into a nice warm ball of denial and cry. I won’t though. I am stronger than that. I will sit down with myself and get this done, not because I want to, but because I have to, for myself.

I am strong, I am powerful and I CAN accomplish anything! - I hope you guys will use my mantra, when and if you feel how I’ve felt today.
