funniest thing about being medicated for ADHD is that after like 10+ years of stressing tf out about needing to make freelance illustration work because it’s the only thing i enjoyed doing once upon a time, now i’m like ‘idk maybe i just want to do accounting or something for a living’.

#now that i am capable of expending energy towards things that are not necessarily 'fun'#( although i do earnestly enjoy just.... the most mundane and repetitive data entry to a degree )#the idea of using up precious time/energy/motivation on something like a bookkeeping job #isn't nearly as implausible because like. i think i would still be able to do other shit lol #not to say that i think it wouldn't suck in a lot of ways anyways #and i do not like the idea of acquiring more student debt to get a different degree #in fact if i do not remain on disability i am committing to about $30k student debt not being forgiven #but i could see myself doing it and it would be nice to. y'know. have more than $1000 a month to live off of #annoying high pitch ringing in your ears #living that adhd life

I need this to go viral for the sake of everyone with ADHD / Autism / Neurodivergence

Do YOU chase dopamine by learning new things? Do you learn new skills and don't know why you want to do that but do it anyway?

well, I might have THE ANSWER for YOU!

There is a certain effect called the Eureka Moment. That moment when you FINALLY understand some topic that didn't seem impossible to learn, but out of reach for you to master at the moment.

This is a so-called Eureka Moment. The intensity of that moment rises, when you know less about a topic prior to the moment.

When learning a completely new skill, learning a new language, a new instrument, learning something about philosophy or science... all these things can trigger it in intense ways.

The journey of your life is like a puzzle. You build a personality, a life, an archive of knowledge and skills of sorts. And when learning a new ability or skill, you find singular pieces... they may fit into a 'sort of' shape... but the bigger picture is out of reach. Then one crucial moment, you learn a random thing that wasn't particularly grand or anything... and THAT puzzle piece brings everything together. The pieces literally fall into place.

And it's very likely that there's a bio-chemical reaction in your brain... which overloads your brain with dopamine... but that is exactly it.

Your brain is still chasing dopamine by learning new things... but what it really wants... is that Eureka explosion in your brain. It wants to be loaded to the brim with free flowing dopamine. Suddenly you feel unstoppable and ... you feel like all the work you did was worth it. At least I do now.

me: ugh this migraine is so annoying *takes a pill for it* me, an hour later: wtf it’s still here? *takes another pill* me, another thirty minutes later: *notices the first pill still on my desk because i forgot to actually take it*

#weirdly enough the migraine did go away very shortly after actually taking the medication #rather than just hoping it would heal me with its spiritual aura #annoying high pitch ringing in your ears #guess this goes in the #living that adhd life #tag

don't hug me i'm scared episode 6 electricity is really something when you're autistic, huh. yellow guy is made fun of all his life by his only friends and laughed at for being "stupid" when all he needed was a change of batteries but no one would listen to him and give him the accommodations he needed and deserved and when he finally did get new batteries and become more clearheaded his friends didn't like him any better. they stopped making fun of him, sure, but they didn't like that he was "smart" all of a sudden, because they'd gotten used to him being "the stupid one". and he looked in the mirror and saw his former self, and his reflection asked him, "have we gone wrong? they seem upset with us" because the truth is even if the way you are now is more comfortable for you, even if it doesn't hurt to think anymore, people will only ever like you if you're the Right Kind of autistic/adhd/traumatized/whatever. have we gone wrong? have we gone wrong? that's what you always ask yourself. "maybe they're not in charge of us anymore." "maybe they never were." and his reflection walks away, as if accepting that the others will think what they will think, and it won't matter, because yellow guy is his own person, no matter how difficult it is for him to articulate his thoughts, and he doesn't need their approval to think. "maybe they never were."

#dhmis #don't hug me i'm scared #yellow guy's conversation with his reflection lives in my head rent free just so you know.#it's so important to me that although he's 'awakened' now- the part of him that's sensitive to what other people think #is still represented by his former self. the 'stupid' version of him. the naive hopeful kid who was mesmerized by a butterfly #and wanted to work with coworkers in a factory and missed duck so much when he died he dug him up #and hated himself for being 'stupid in the head' when he forgot the computer password.#even when yellow guy is clearheaded enough to see through the fabric of his reality #that part of him is still very much present and important in his life and thought processes.#it confuses me that some people seem to see the batteries as a metaphor for a 'cure' for autism or whatever.#to me the batteries are like adhd or schizophrenia medication or antidepressants. they make life easier #while you're dealing with a condition that would normally make moving through a neurotypical world pretty hard.#yellow guy is still the same person. he still cares about his friends' opinions. he's just much more clearheaded and articulate than usual.

ADHD sucks because it’s just going through life telling yourself “I know I could do great things, if only I…” but then not really being able to figure out how to finish the sentence, all while your life just ticks by in the background and you’re too timeblind to even notice it happening.

That’s honestly the most depressing way I’ve described ADHD ever tbh 😅🫠

I just hate the thought that when people hear “ADHD” they think of spacey/hyperactive or 🤪QUIRKY🤪 and not of the “I’m actually soul crushingly depressed because I feel like a literal biological mistake masquerading as a human FAILURE who cannot even remember to DRINK WATER.”

You should probably drink water if you’re seeing this, btw ❤️

I fucking hate having ADHD. The connotation that it’s just a glorified attention issue is bullshit. I am not some ditzy air head that needs to be in a small, secluded room to minimize distractions. I need the correct style of teaching and understanding people to support me. I’m tired of being told to “suck it up and focus” when my brain refuses to shift topics or write a 200 word essay in one sitting or some fucking bullshit like that. Just because you can clear your brain that fast doesn’t mean I can. I’m tired of being talked down towards. At this point I barley care anymore, school can fuck off.

Understanding RAADS-R Test Scores

The RAADS-R test compiles a score indicating the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder in the person taking it. The total RAADS-R test score ranges from 0-240. Higher scores indicate behaviors and symptoms consistent with autism. Scores at or above 65 demonstrate the presence of autism. The test utilizes two different scoring methods: paper-based and automated.

General interpretations of different RAADS-R test scores:

25: Does not meet the criteria for ASD

50: May possess autism traits but not likely to have autism

65: Minimum score to identify autism

90: Strong indication of the autism spectrum, although neurotypical individuals can also yield high scores

130: Typical autism score indicating autism is present

160: Demonstrates solid evidence for an autism diagnosis

227: The maximum score indicating autism

However, it’s essential to remember that no standalone test can provide a conclusive autism diagnosis without a comprehensive evaluation. The RAADS-R test is a tool used during a comprehensive autism assessment, not a definitive or conclusive data point leading to diagnosis.

Source: https://abacentersfl.com/blog/raads-r-test/

My Score on the RAADs-R assessment is 140. It looks like I am likely autistic. I do not know if I want an official diagnosis, knowing me I probably will since I feel like I need the confirmation so I can work on accepting myself. All of my life I have felt like something is wrong with me and it would be good to know why.
