*Opens Google to check if sheep can get sunburn*

*30 minutes later realise that haven’t looked up anything about sheep cuz I immediately forgot and spent the past half hour learning about moths cuz I wanted to know what their hair is made of*

By the way, sheep CAN get sunburn just after they’ve been shaved and a moth’s hair is not hair like ours and is actually more similar to really long scales. Did you know some moths don’t even have mouths? Wild

Ah. Yea. Fair

My girlfriend, ADHD: *spitting out words at an ungodly rate for like an hour straight*

Me, her autistic gf who doesn’t mind the rants because it means I don’t have to talk:

I personally like to be nonverbal when possible because it’s just more comfortable, but that doesn’t mean I necessarily like to be alone all the time. I do like the company of my friends but I hate having to respond all the time because it’s tiring.

My girlfriend though, talks so fucking much. I hope she never stops.

kadywicker:

listen you can say “capitalism makes living with adhd/autism really difficult and in a non-capitalist society these things would not be so hard and neurodivergent people would thrive better” without saying “adhd/autism are the biproduct of capitalism and everything you think is a symptom is really just being unable to cope with capitalism” like…… don’t erase neurodivergence and pretend it’s just a social phenomenon. 

saying “actually neurodivergence is just made up by a social structure i oppose” is not as progressive as you think it is

ADHD Medication information sheet

I have been struggling

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS

Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info

Also if you are ANEMIC and take IRON SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT TAKE WITH CAFFEINE. No coffee, caffeinated tea, etc. The caffeine will block iron absorption and you won’t actually get any of that iron that you just took!!

ADHD tips from my school counselors:

  • “You need to create a study routine!”
  • “You need to stop fidgeting…you’re distracting yourself!”
  • “Get more exercise and take your meds!”
  • “Stop procrastinating!”

ADHD tips from my friends with ADHD:

  • “I eat one chocolate chip for every page I read.”
  • “I can only study by playing the gravity game on the Quizlet website. I need to beat my friend’s high score.”
  • “Every ten minutes I get up, put on one song by Taylor Swift, and wiggle around until I feel better.”
  • “Instead of checkboxes, I draw little flowers next to each task, and after I finished the task, I color in the flower in a fun color.”

Tips for Reading with ADHD

(or without ADHD, if they help regardless)

Physical print:

  • cover the page with a piece of paper and reveal lines/paragraphs as you read them
  • use a highlighter to emphasize important/interesting parts
  • take notes as you go to be physically engaged with the material

Digital media:

  • copy and paste the text into a doc/word processor
    • change the font size/style/colour to something more legible
    • make your own paragraphs and spacing
  • copy and paste one paragraph at a time to isolate them from the distraction of the rest of the text
  • install a browser extension like BeeLine Reader or Mercury Reader
  • zoom in on the page and scroll slowly so you’re revealing lines as you read them
  • physically cover the screen and reveal lines as you read them
  • if you do better with physical media, print it out or find a physical copy

Both:

  • read out loud

  • pace, move around, or use a fidget while reading

  • set a timer for 5 minutes and read in small chunks with breaks in between

  • divide the material into sections and read one section at a time with breaks in between

  • have another person, audio book, or text-to-speech program read it aloud as you follow along
