See, the funniest thing is that I actually have significantly more spoons than I did a handful of years ago. But because I only got diagnosed at 20, I have two decades of inattentive power saving habits.
I have that thing where we feel we can only do one thing at a time. The magical one thing that we will be interested in that will motivate us through it all.
And that thing where I subconsciously compare the spoons investment and ROI on investment and get put off of doing low ROI stuff.

So, I have pretty bad ADHD (and def maybe have undiagnosed autism) and I have to learn to drive. Im 20 and am nervous that I wont be able to learn because I have difficulty focusing on driving and remembering to look before I cross lanes. Any tips?
Sent 27th May~
I’m in the exact same situation at the minute! I’ve been learning to drive for… a while, and it’s not going as well as I’d like - I don’t really have much advice unfortunately. I always drink some caffeine before a lesson, and it does help a bit. I also always repeat directions I’ve been given out loud, because the ADHD short term memory issues have previously meant that I’ve gotten to a roundabout and forgotten which way I’m supposed to be turning.
You do get better at it, though. It’s one of those things that takes practice—the basic things start to become second nature after a while.
If anyone has any tips, please leave it in the comments/reblogs!

So… I’m a young adult (20s) with inattentive ADHD and other mental health issues who will be moving out for college next month
I have done a 3.5 year vocational training (so I’m qualified to work as a professional handyperson) and I do have savings
But I do not have the slightest idea how to budget household money
I got a student loan of 450€/mo and my parents said they will give me 200€/month for groceries/ food
I DO NOT intend to start a part-time job until at least my 3rd semester! I have been out of school too long and need to focus so I don’t fuck up college
So my starting budget is 650€/month from which I have to pay
rent & utilities,
insurances (household, liability, casualty, some private health insurances),
groceries,
Plus a small amount each month I need to put aside in case I have to buy additional books, stationary, new everyday-shoes or generally in case I have to replace stuff that gets broken/ used up
Can anyone help me how to keep track of my finances and how to budget when I barely have enough money to cover overheads/ necessities?
Honestly I feel genuinely bad asking for help, especially since I know I have more savings to my name than many people my age probably have. But also, my parents never budgeted – at least not in a way they can teach me how to
And I’m just so scared of college as a whole and of messing up and that I won’t be able to keep up with studying… I got in, yes, but I also know I haven’t done the necessary math in YEARS because my vocational training focused on mechanics and transmissions and forces. I’m a state-certified mechanic and my college degree is mechanical engineering but I doubt my “advantage” is worth much. I’m sincerely worried. And I haven’t been able to study on my own – although I have more than enough pre-college math books specifically for the pre-courses – because of stress and anxiety around finding a flat-share/ living accommodations. I have been procrastinating most things because finding a flat-share hasn’t been exactly successful and I’m trying to ignore my looming dread and anxiety. I’m genuinely scared I will mess up and ruin my entire life because I’m not “ready” or intelligent or mentally healthy enough to make it.
If I at least got the budgeting out of the way, so to speak, that would help convince myself I’m not as much of a fuck-up.

Adhd tip of the day:
When cooking, wear an apron, or some kind of novel reminder that you're cooking/baking, so that you don't forget you're cooking.
Applies to most tasks!
Anyway,,,
I'm making pizza dough for the weekend and you have to let the dough rest before you knead so in that process I'd have easily forgotten about my little [not little its 800g of flour dough (baby)]project if I wasn't wearing my slightly uncomfortable apron :D

It’s a whole mood getting annoyed because hobbies require hands
Like, I have ADHD of the inattentive sub-type, I would looooove to do multiple (low-capacity) things at the same time
But I can’t knit and do Duolingo; I can’t cross-stitch and write; I can’t read fanfic and try recipes
Cooking /Baking while doing Duolingo-exercises halfway works if my hands don’t get too dirty
If I could do my pre-college materials while doing something fun else at the same time I probably wouldn’t procrastinate them as much
I know audio books are a thing and I need to get back into podcasts but… it’s unfair!
I don’t want to choose between cross-stitch and bettering my language skills, between writing on my story and making a cake; between studying for my pre-college course and reading

I saw an ADHD post today that was not relatable (it was about brushing teeth, which I do twice a day like clockwork no problem). Stuff like that sometimes makes me second guess whether I’ve really got ADHD.
So I’m reminding myself that brushing teeth is my one habit that’s lasted longer than a few months and no less than three psychologists have diagnosed me with ADHD and everyone with ADHD experiences it differently.
Also, second-guessing whether you have ADHD might be the most universal symptom of diagnosed ADHD.
*talking to myself in the mirror* you don’t have to relate to every single meme, ya weirdo

Concentration Deficit Disorder (CDD) (alternative, less derogative name for Sluggish Cognitive Tempo) is a concept that has been in existence since the 1980s, though it's not part of any diagnostic manual yet so it can't actually be diagnosed.
The following are the proposed symptoms of CDD:
Apathetic, unmotivated, withdrawn
Daydreams
Easily confused, mentally foggy
Brain fog
Loses train of thought easily
Lost in thought
Sluggish, lethargic
Sleepy, drowsy, trouble staying awake/alert
Slow thinking, inaccurate processing
Spacey/zoned out, inattentive
Stares blankly, mind seems to be elsewhere
Tired
Underactive, slow moving
There are similarities with inattentive ADHD, but CDD has a different presentation than ADHD and there's strong evidence that it's a separate disorder. People with CDD have no hyperactive symptoms and are actually hypoactive.
An earlier name for CDD was "primary disorder of vigilance" (PVD). The name "attention deficit disorder" (ADD) was also proposed but most researchers don't use this since it's an old name for ADHD-PI.
Other similar disorders include autism, SzPD, dissociative disorders, dysthymia/persistent depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and medical disorders like thyroid disorders or absence seizures. CDD symptoms (especially daydreaming) are normal in moderation, it's their excessive and consistent presence that make it a disorder.
