The fun part is being accosted about how forgetting to do something is not a valid excuse, and that I really don’t care about person {x} or priority {y}, because if I did then I should’ve done it already! 🙃

Aw, there’s so much ancient history now than ever before, how could it be the worst on record?

Damn, I got my ADHD diagnosis, but I’ve been constantly looping between if it’s ADHD and possibly C-PTSD or ADHD, Autism and C-PTSD that’s making things so difficult for me 😅

When I initially came across this picture the first few times, I have read in a similar manner as the other commenter replied as well. While I never got the original intention behind whoever updated the text in the picture that I’ve posted, it’s resonated with me in a positive way.

That is also accurate lol

That is true! Though with computers being one of my “productive” traits, I do get asked to look at computers instead 😅

That’s good to hear, it definitely feels like my presentation does differ exactly like that- depends on the mood/day/circumstance.

That’s fair- I am slowly building a healthier way to be more aware of when I’m in either side of talking, but it is reassuring to see other peoples experiences as well

Not officially, but I’m diagnosed ADHD and for now, self-diagnosed autistic

I managed to finally save up enough money to put myself on a waitlist to get called to setup an appointment to start my autism assessment in several months from now, so…yay?

So much yes

Is it weird that I kinda have both?

I got diagnosed with ADHD at 25 , and I’ve been like 90% quiet most of my adult life. However I recall every now and then when a memory hits, I used to be suuuper energetic, talkative and all over the place overall as a kid.

Since my family thought that getting me mental help = being put into an asylum for life, I never got assessed and was instead chastised/shamed into not talking (and in parallel the regular kids would mock and tease in the school system) so I’ve sorta just got quiet which just got me more inwardly chaotic

Simply Divine!

This is too real for me lol

My struggle is that I’ve sorta fallen out of my current friends group since I’ve found myself increasingly contradicting myself in order to make myself “fit in”

I’ve since been learning to be myself more and have at least 2 friends I keep in touch, but oof do I struggle to stay in regular contact.

Then there’s my desire to make friends that share similar interests and the motivation to go through with socializing is just not there 😅
