female UK for me iirc

I didn’t get my audhd dx until i was 28 but i feel like i always knew, and i think my life might’ve been sightly less miserable in general if id just allowed myself to accept a self-diagnosis. the attitude of “you just want to be special” seriously fucked me up lmfao.

I thought I was just lazy most of my life because I could never wrap my head around how people just do things without getting overwhelmed by 500 things in their head about it first lmfao. Showering is a good example, I’m sure most people find them relaxing and/or do them on autopilot but to me it feels like an elaborate process

i have a soft leather keychain that i clip to whatever bag i’m using, it’s not overly fidgety but it is a pleasant sensation

as someone who is queer i actually think the comparison is pretty apt, sounds like she doesn’t understand your experiences. i’m sorry you had to go through this

honestly i had myself convinced my behaviour was “just social anxiety” for a looong time, so yeah

definitely both depending on the context

I need a physical calendar/agenda that’s always in plain view, digital doesn’t tend to work for me

hey dude it’s been ruining my night/morning too. you’re not alone at least

I’m actually excited by the idea of smaller communities. After a certain threshold a popular sub becomes more difficult to interact with for me, and I’ve been finding refuge in smaller subs for quite a while now.

So far just about everything here has that feel to it
