OH HEY I JUST THOUGHT OF A METAPHOR. ITS A GOOD ONE TOO.
so imagine that an NT person's brain is a car. If they want to do something, they just... drive where they want to go. They *can* get distracted and miss an exit or make a wrong turn or whatever, but most of the time they're gonna stay on track.
an ADHD brain is like a horse. you can still go where you want to go sometimes, but you really need to work to get it done--you can't just turn a steering wheel, you have to work with your horse. And sometimes if there's something your horse really doesn't want to do, you'll have to fight it super hard to do it, and then it's tired and you're tired and neither of you can do anything else for the whole day, and in those situations sometimes you don't know whether it's the horse's fault or whether you're sending mixed signals and it's getting confused! And the worst part is that NT people don't always *see* that you're riding a horse, they're just like "oh that's a weird-looking car" and assume you can drive the same as they can, but no, you've got a fuckin horse!!!!!

why is it not widely known that your period can cause ADHD to fuck shit up in truly the most explosive way. apparently estrogen is closely linked to dopamine centers in the brain, so not only can ADHD be the trigger for extreme PMS mood swings, but the lack of estrogen can cause an increase in ADHD symptoms.
