Did you make mistakes? If so, you might’ve made more mistakes than you think, or more mistakes than what’s considered neurotypical. Even if you didn’t make mistakes but took longer to process the info they put in front of you, that’ll help determine the results as well.
Ultimately it’s going to be hard to know for sure until you talk to your psych.
Ha, I remember playing that. I got in trouble and was grounded from playing computer games for a while. But one night my parents had friends over and I was bored. They felt bad and bent the rules slightly and let me play that game. Thanks for reminding me!
I work in IT, specifically desktop support. Over the last decade I’ve moved up into management and I’ve always had that feeling of things are going to fall to the ground any minute now. Everything is overwhelming and how can I possibly keep up. I just need to work faster. I decided to get tested when I moved into management and it got even harder to keep track of everything. I was diagnosed with combined adhd as well as moderate depression and anxiety maybe 6 months after that.
The thing that helped me most with getting a handle on my job has been medication, especially adderall/vyvanse (I like adderall better, but this ongoing shortage sucks). It can still be hard to concentrate, but I have a much easier time figuring out what needs to be done and being able to concentrate on that and somewhat ignore all the millions of other things that I need to pay attention to.
As long as you expect yourself to fail, it’ll eventually happen. Even if you’re doing a perfect job, you’ll burn yourself out with the stress of feeling like you’ll eventually fail. One thing that could help, if you don’t already, keep a task list as well. Even if it’s reminders of the things you need to do. I’ve found having that has helped me remember the next day or even later that same day the things I need to do.
What do you need to do to get from a provisional ADHD diagnosis to a full one? And have you mentioned to your doctor the anxiety you have for work?
Yes but if the data also shows that a more thorough background check before allowing a person to purchase a gun results in lower deaths, shouldn’t that be considered too?
Data adds to support your argument. It doesn’t make the argument. It’s too easy to cherry pick information as you’ve shown.
Out of curiosity, how is the argument to ban guns different from the argument to ban access to fetal abortion practices?
The ban on guns is heralded as the beginning of the end if passed, but abortions seem to be the same unless they’re explicitly banned.
Is it subjective if data tends to say otherwise and it still gets ignored?
Also, I’m not saying liberal ideals are best for all, however they tend to take into consideration other groups that those rules would effect. And no, I’m not saying that’s true all the time either.
My point again is I’m only seeing one group actively fight against medical protections, banning books, and ignoring science in the name of corporate value.
Because in most of the world conservative values have become “what’s best for me,” and progressive values have become “what’s best for us”
And that “they’re all the same” argument doesn’t really work well. Sure, at the base they’re the same because they preach values, but at least in the US only one side was trying real hard to undo medical protection for issues like abortion and banning books that they don’t want to have to explain to their kids.
The industry actually tried to get people to stop calling them laptops because people kept burning themselves badly in the early days of portable computers when they would get hot af
Yep, without the numbers it’s hard to know for sure. If you have ADHD it’s possible it’s mild or your particular blend is a little better at testing. And yeah, the wait is pretty killer.
