Would anyone be interested in a Discord

It'd be mainly study related think video/voice chats together to encourage body doubling. I'd be making it 18+ because I'm 18+ and I'd rather not tread the waters of minors.

I'd likely make more social channels, as well as channels for study tips, mental health stuff, neurodivergent stuff, etc. But again only if there's enough interest. Just reply if you'd be into that sorta thing.

For the first time in almost 10 years I understand a scary medical thing my little brother went through. And why, why he might have closed his eyes to possibility of it being something bad.

This is my accountability post. I'm scared and I'm going to do it. I'm going to double check what I think I just observed, and then I'm going to call the doctor.

*exhale* wish me luck, help hold me accountable.

The struggle of being both autistic with ADHD

1. WORKING IN SOLITARY OFFICE

PROS : very good for autism, supports your needs to have your own space without being overwhelmed and drained by the expectation to socialise with others

CONS : very bad for ADHD, difficulty to maintain sustained focus to complete tedious and mundane tasks on computer, needing social interaction with others to keep you engaged on your tasks

2. OPEN SPACE OFFICE

PROS : Social support, body doubling, having busy background that keeps you engaged to multitask and switch from one task to another FOR ADHD

CONS : Easily draining, moments of awkwardness when your inability to socialize make it more unbearable to stand others without meltdown/shutdown, easily disturbed by sounds, noises, chattering, and the inevitable masking for AUTISTIC TRAITS

Hi, I didn't really know where else to ask this, but I'm autistic and sometimes I don't feel 'hungry' and forget to eat for hours at a time, so I've noticed lately I will turn on a youtube video of someone either cooking, or eating and it helps me get more 'hyped' for food.

Is that an autistic thing? Do any other autistic people relate to this?

yes !! that is very much an autistic thing !! especially the “not recognizing when your basic needs are deplenished”

what you’re using to help yourself however, that’s something i would call body doubling, it’s essentially just doing something alongside any other person (doesn’t even have to be the same activity) which helps to motivate you to finish your own task

i use it for studying purposes, but i’m actually gonna try that out for food as well now, thank you :)

I found this game last night, and I'm a fan. The demo is free, obvs, and on steam!

Defs try it out if you're finding that you have trouble being productive without a body double!

It appears that the overwhelming desire for social interaction that keeps distracting you with a burning need to check all available chats and platforms for new messages can in fact be curbed by -checks notes- hanging out with people.

#shocking revelations #seriously though #I haven’t been this productive in weeks #just give me people to talk to without delay #and i will ignore them and get shit done #well sometimes #alright fine we talked all the time #but i still got so much done #body doubling #adhd #hyperfocus #productivity #writing #social interaction

Body doubling

Has everyone heard of body doubling? It’s where another person sits in the same room as an ADHD person and it helps them get tasks done just by quietly existing in their presence.

I don’t know what it is about this that makes it so effective for me but it’s my best tool. (I think it has something to do with the fact that my brain convinces me that they are judging me for not doing the activities I should be doing -whether or not they actually are - and I feel motivated to get those things done)

But we just moved to a new city a few months ago and I don’t know a soul here except for my husband. I definitely don’t know anyone well enough to ask them to quietly sit in my office and do their own activities while I complete my work. Or to follow me from room to room, chatting while I clean.

I’m thinking about starting a Facebook group for it. “Body Doubling for ADHDers - Dallas edition” where we can match up schedules of anyone in need. We can body double for each other! We could be friends! But that would be weird, right? ….right?

OR would it be incredible?

Body Doubling: A strategy to combat depressive lethargy and ADHD executive dysfunction

A strategy where you have someone else around while doing a task you're troubling to get done. Sometimes the person is doing the same task other times they're just around.
