the “gifted child” to “burnt out young teen” to “oh shit i’m AuDHD older teen” pipeline is too real

I'm curious. ADHD havers ONLY, how do you feel about word searches? (Likely specific to English speakers).

ADHD HAVERS ONLY: do you hate word searches?

I have ADHD and I LOVE word searches I am so good at them

I have ADHD, I like word searches, but I am not good at them

I have ADHD, I hate word searches, but I am good at them.

I have ADHD and I hate word searches so much. I'm not good at them.

I have ADHD other/ it's complicated/ it depends

(please add in the tags if you have another neurodivergence along with ADHD for science - don't have to specify I just wanna know if other factors are involved )

Adhd moods:

No thoughts head empty

MANY THOUGHTS HEAD FULL

I want to do EVERYTHING

I want to do NOTHING

I want to do SOMETHING but can't pinpoint what

Hunnngggggrrrrryyyyyyy

No eat...only hyperfocus

No pee...only hyperfocus

Bounce Off Wall

Cannot Stop Talking (Where Is Their Off Button)

No talk. Only space out.

No focus...only distraction

No distraction...only focus

I am going to clean my entire house in one go

I am never going to pick up my clothes

I am never going to put away the 2663683 random objects that are right next to me

Space out again

Ramble for paragraphs and paragraphs and expect everyone to follow what is being said

See paragraphs and paragraphs and not process a single word despite reading it overrr and overrr

Doodle or no focus. No in between

LEG BOUNCE LEG BOUNCE!!!

Typo city

Snzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

NO SLEEP ONLY INTERNET

NO SLEEP ONLY HYPERFOCUS

I am so obsessed w this I don't think I'll ever get tired of it

*gets tired of it and has the same feeling about new thing*

When I first started drama class in secondary school they told us about body language and what it meant so that we could act better but my neurodivergent brain was like

“oooh, I know stuff most people don’t now so I can figure out how people feel without talking to them!!!”

Little did I know this came naturally to neurotypicals and they didn’t just sit and stand however they felt most comfortable. THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE HIDDEN LANGUAGE!!!

(People always thought I was either annoyed or anxious bc crossed arms was my go to stance when I just found it comfy).

okay so not many people will probably relate to this, but like,,, you ever just wish that people irl would actually make sure you're paying attention before saying important shit or asking stuff? 'Cause I'm minding my own business while a conversation goes on around me, completely zoned out with thoughts like,,, 'would kouda be able to control Tokoyami??? wha- can he cONTROL HAWKS??' and then they're, without me realising, turning to me and asking a question or something.

AND I DONT EVEN FUCKIN REALISE UNTIL ALL HEADS ARE TURNED TOWARDS ME AND ITS SUDDENLY QUIET AND THEN I PANIC AND THEY LAUGH ANDHSWFJHBDSAJKCS

Anyone else get that ADHD thing where you're in between two hyperfixations and you don't know what to do and it hurts your brain cause your bored but nothing seems to satisfy the itch and it just really sucks?

me: *has sensory overload in public, loud, stimulating environment where it absolutely makes sense to have sensory overload*

my brain: you’re just doing it for attention
