people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.

things to know about adhd people

in my experience, we:

can only remember things in relation to other things. sometimes even relating things doesn't work. we'll remember what related to the thing, but not what needed to be remembered

unless the thing is useless. i can remember every vine i've ever heard, but i can't tell you what i learned in ap chemistry two days ago

can't remember spoken instructions for shit

are bad at letting objects go and decluttering

sometimes get overwhelmed by sounds, especially if they're all around us or if multiple people are talking to us at once

will legitimately do Anything to avoid doing that One Thing we don't want to do. including stare at a wall or do other homework to avoid, say, writing an essay

can't study for shit when it's not interesting

have a really bad grasp of how time passes when we don't have a routine

get hostile and forget things when our routine is messed up. if my stepmom is making me mad in the morning, i'm gonna forget something important at home

are sometimes so In The Zone that we literally cannot hear you saying our name

sometimes need to be told that we should probably start our homework or maybe eat something

are easily distracted by colors

are good at learning information if it's put to a song 🎶this is the periodic table, noble gases stable🎶

don't learn well from teachers we dislike

either need extra explanation for complicated shit or understand it instantly because your brain went Fast and made a connection

are bad at regurgitating information onto a piece of paper, but good at applying the information

can make really wild connections sometimes. like one time i typed "oh?" and then remembered i hadn't put another egg in the incubator in pokemon go because when an egg hatches the screen says "oh?"

sometimes really Need To Move Around

either focus too much on one part or can't focus at all on the individual parts, only the big picture

despite all this, we're still smart as hell. every other adhd person i know is intelligent as fuck. just because we need more explanation sometimes doesn't mean you should patronize us.

...and then I didn’t.

Do you ever read books that leave you thinking, “Someday, I want to make a reader feel the exact way I feel right now”?

Anyone wants to read a short (≈3000 words) story I’ve written for a contest?

Nah I know you don’t

[lukes-writing]

I keep reading it as “Wery Important Person”

Been getting a lot of asks about what “WIP” means:

So the answer:

1. Work in Progress

(whether that be a piece of writing, art, a mod, etc.)

Hidden Unlockable Alternatives:

2. West in Pieces

3. World in Peril

4. Whales in Pods

5. Worm in Paris

And many more

Like, what the fuck? I’m a male writer. Even a cishet one. But I lol’d at those paragraphs until I realized they’re meant for real? Why would I EVER humiliate any of my girls so much?

dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS

These horrific, sexist, racist paragraphs - screenshotted and shared for posterity by James Smythe, to whom we are all indebted - are the work of one Liam O’Flynn, a writer and English teacher. Evidently, they come from his book Writing With Stardust: the Ultimate Descriptive Guide for students, parents, teachers, and lovers of English, and are intended as examples of good writing.

UM.

Dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS SHIT. IT IS SUPER GROSS AND FETISHISTIC AND ALSO TERRIBLE WRITING. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS. 

Like I just. “Her virility-brown eyes -” WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? How can you have an “Amazonian figure” ON a “wafer-thin body” when “figure” is a word that describe’s a body’s shape, and Amazonian means pretty much the DIRECT FUCKING OPPOSITE of “wafer-thin” in the first place?  What the shitting fuck does ANY of this mean, apart from “I am only nebulously familiar with the concept of women and completely at a loss if I can’t compare their various bodyparts to jewels, animals and footstuffs”?
