Guys, I made this short (50 seconds) video (unmute it but lower volume) showing a person struggling with executive dysfunction. NT people don’t tend to understand how it feels like to be unable to start/ do/ finish thing due to the executive dysfunction.. so I figured I’d make a short video that explain the frustration felt.

I think I’ve covered all aspects of executive function as given by Dr Tom Brown:

Organizing, prioritizing and activating for tasks

Focusing, sustaining and shifting attention to task

Regulating alertness, sustaining effort and processing speed

Managing frustration and modulating emotions

Utilizing working memory and accessing recall

Monitoring and self-regulating action

I showed it to my housemate and he said he found it quite melancholic which is what I wanted to show.

What do you guys think? Is it somewhat accurate?

Girls with ADHD “may be more spaced out, they have have more difficulties being able to focus on tasks, being able to remember what they’re just heard or what they just read, have more difficulties getting organised and started on their work... ...they may be able to function very well on something they have a strong interest or if their ADHD symptoms have been adequately treated.”

From now on this is what I want to communicate when someone tells me, an “obvious case of someone with ADHD” according to my psychiatrist, that I don’t seem like I have ADHD:

There are more than 7,000 different varieties of ADHD out there if you match all of the permutations and combinations of all the descriptors there are in the DSM 5 [diagnostic criteria]. That doesn’t even include things like where you live and your culture and your background and your gender and all those other things. There are so many different ways that your ADHD manifests.

This perspective can also be applied to autism.

Video description:  I ran out of adderall completely for like 1 1/2 months because reasons and my life slowly devolved into a fever dream.

This video made me laugh so much and made me feel so much better about my own room. Not because my room is any better, mind...
