#hyperactive adhd

[hawkeyeflags]

impulsive/hyperactive adhd, inattentive/distractable adhd, and combined type adhd !

[thisisindeedausername]

the fact that adhd (et. al) makes certain tasks innately harder just adds another layer of complexity when it comes to building skills. like am i bad at [ thing ] because it requires a skill that's impacted by my literal actual disability, or am i just regular-flavor Bad At This because im out of practice?

is it worth putting time and effort into [ skill ] knowing that said effort might not be worth as much here (read: not make as much of a difference) as it might be somewhere else?

This is probably applicable to a lot of things like learning disabilities or other brain-related developmental things (and probably the not-neurodevelopmental ones too but i dont have any of them so i cant confirm). I expect that most if not all of them have at least some skills that are "only partially" impacted.

What not to do around me as an AuDHD aroace and nonbinary person who still finds people attractive just not sexually or romantically:

*Do not touch me

*Do not say anything that might bring up a solitaire reference

*If I am being loud and chaotic then I am acting

*If I am stimming/fidgeting, do not stop me

*Do not say anything if I'm looking detached and being quiet

*Do not touch me.

It's crazy how different Inattentive and Hyperactive ADHD look on the surface. It's like cat vs dog friend.

examples of living with traits part four: ADHD hyperactive type

you have to have at least six traits from section A (five if you're over 17), plus every trait from sections B, C, D, and E. if you have some traits from this list and some traits from the inattentive list, you would receive a diagnosis of ADHD (combined type)

A. hyperactivity and impulsivity

fidgeting

wriggling around in your seat

can't stay still

stims a lot

movement helps you to stay focused

2. leaves seat when expected to be seated

leaving places completely unexpectedly

can't sit in the same spot for very long

3. runs about when expected to be still

you get up and walk around a lot

you are often suddenly hit with the desire to move, and you feel as though, if you stay still, you will implode

you jog on the spot during conversations, just to keep moving

4. does not engage in quiet leisure activities

you find sitting down and reading or watching TV to be boring

your idea of leisure always involves movement (e.g. playing video games, doing sport, playing an instrument)

5. acts as if "driven by a motor"

you move non-stop

you're always doing something

everything you do feels hyper-powered

6. talks excessively

you infodump a lot

even when not infodumping, sometimes you find yourself unable to stop talking

you talk in a very tangential manner... other people often lose the thread of what you're talking about

7. blurts out answers before the question has been asked

you think everyone talks too slowly and wish they'd just get on with it

you used to, or still do, yell out the answers to questions at school

when playing trivia games, you are unable to stop yourself from saying the answer before it's answer-giving time

the above also happens in normal everyday conversation

8. difficulty waiting turns

no matter how fast someone is moving, you don't think they're moving fast enough, and it MUST be your turn by now

you absolutely hate queues or lines of any form

you frequently attempt to jump ahead in the turn-taking process

9. interrupts and intrudes on others

you regularly interrupt in conversations

you get bored with your social group in social settings, and so end up wandering off to find someone else to talk to

you feel as though you HAVE TO do something or say something as soon as you think it, regardless of if it is socially appropriate

B. the above were present before the age of 12

C. the above are present in two or more settings (e.g. home, school, work, when socialising, when playing sport)

D. the above interferes with or impairs daily functioning

E. no other diagnosis would better explain the symptoms

#EldritchGirl S03E05: things left unfinished

Chapter 4 of The Day We Ate Grandad is now up on the podcast, and this post takes a look at the ND-coded characters and the way in which unDx #ADHD shows up in the books.

Neurodivergence in The Day We Ate Grandad I wasn’t deliberately writing Ricky and Wes (and Mercy in The Crows) with ADHD. It’s just that I gave them all the things that I struggle with, and all the traits that I wanted to examine in different situations, and it organically developed from there. I didn’t even know I had ADHD when I was writing them to start with. That’s why even they don’t know…
