@youknowyouaredisabledwhen replied to your photo “Mmmm #dessert at the #drunch! #chocolate and #gold all the things!...”

This in no way did anything to help my current chocolate cravings. Whatever is in that jar looks incredible!

The jar was a “chocolate creme”! It was definitely my favourite on the plate (tho the macaron was good competition)

You know you are disabled when...

You spend 20 minutes laying in bed too lazy to get up to turn off the lights, and then spend another 10 minutes researching bluetooth controlled light switches instead of just taking the 30 seconds and 4 steps to turn off the light so you can get under the covers and stop being cold.

You know you’re disabled when you drop everything to answer someone’s question about one of the diagnoses that you have

[actuallyadhd]

I'm fairly newly diagnosed and a Master's student who is having a fairly difficult time with writing assignments for school. I have this problem where the expectations for the assignment are easy for me, I get it completely done in my head, and can't bring myself to write it out. Does anyone have any tips on technologies or strategies that help ADHD students with writing at the graduate or post-graduate level? Everything I can find is aimed towards high school students mostly.

Just because everything is aimed at high school students doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. Have you tried any of them? I’m finishing my undergrad this year and I still use techniques and sources and such I was given in high school.

There’s not much out there aimed at college or grad students. However, any article I find about grad students and school work brings up those high school methods. They are good and helpful tips, truly.

For writing, get the ideas in your head, and visually brain storm. And I mean seriously draw that stupid little bubble with sticks and other bubbles thing you did in like middle school with your ideas.

I mean it. This will help get ideas DOWN. Then, take a break and then move on to continue getting it all together.

You Know You Are Disabled When...

YKYAD when… You make a date with your friend to go get blood drawn.

You Know You Are Disabled When...

YKYAD when… You spend hours in the craft store planning how you are going to trick out your walker.

Also, you feel punk for buying spray paint, until a certain sister points out that it is for your walker

YKYAD when... You decide to take a vacation from your pills and that just means 2 morning pills instead of 4

Pill Parade

YKYAD when… You pull out the meds you need in choir and the elderly woman sitting next to you comments on just how large exactly that pile of pills is…. It was a bad night though and choir was a priority, heavy duty pain meds or not
