Took my ADHD meds and drank a large iced coffee to try to knock out the introduction and methods section of this manuscript and instead just came out of a 90 minute adderall hyperfocus trance where I was in Canva creating a UFO-themed abortion sticker

The lessons I've learned as a Ph.D. student in my second year have taught me that this pursuit confronts you more emotionally than intellectually. Sure, the mental rigor of scholarship is arduous, but it's the internal quarrel and dialogue within ourselves that's hard. /1

You ever get so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff you need to do, that you can’t remember any specific thing that you need to do?

Most productivity tools and apps don’t really work for people with ADHD.
We get excited by the shiny features and may think “this is the one!” before reality crashes in (and we forget to cancel the subscription).
What are some tools that have ACTUALLY worked with your ADHD?

Having ADHD is really like being a Sim that has their actions constantly cancelled so you end up in situations where you’re standing in the bathroom with a banana and you’re not quite sure why

Im only speaking from my experience and research, when you feel like an alien and/or your inner experience is radically different from what you perceive your peer’s to be, you are probably queer, Neurodivergent, or both.

A message I want to share with adults who work with #ADHD kids is: pushing them the way that you push neurotypical kids harms them for life.
Here’s what I mean.
When I start working clinically with an adult who has ADHD, one of the first things we do /1

"Everyone is forgetful sometimes, that's not an ADHD thing!"
Really, Chad? Really?
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and forgot what you went in there for?
It’s happened to me ✨4 times✨ in the last 15 minutes.
Is that the same?
ARE WE THE SAME

Fellow academics w/ ADHD: I CANNOT decide on a dissertation topic. I thought I was so close + now I'm all over the place... again. This is like all the hobbies I've picked up, dropped, and picked up again throughout my life, but worse?! HELP!!! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Gentle reminder to all my #adhd friends struggling today that MUSIC IS A POWERFUL MOOD CHANGER! you can use music to help you get “unstuck” and transition to a different state or task. What’s your favourite transition music??
