#adhd positivity

what matters most about your interests is that they make you happy. whether other people find them productive is irrelevant. you don't have to produce anything. you are not a machine. your interests aren't for others. your interests are for you. do what makes you happy.

Hi everyone,

For ADHD acceptance/awareness month, I thought I would share some famous athletes who have ADHD:

Famous athletes with ADHD

Future ADHD

[desultory-suggestions]

19 years of my life

18 years since someone first noticed I was a bit different

8 years since I tried to tell my mom I felt different

7 years since my doctor told me it was probably nothing

6 years since I started guilting myself into thinking I was a liar

3 years since I started to accept that I wasn’t

2 months since I finally met a psychiatrist to test me

3 days since I was diagnosed with ADHD

1 day of finally starting to accepting myself

You know your mind and body better than anyone else. Lying is intentional. Please don’t give up on getting the care you deserve because you aren’t being heard. Someone is ready to listen to you.

♡︎This is for all my selfshippers who have ADHD!

Your F/Os will always listen to you when you get excited about something and start infodumping on them. They love to hear what you have to say! Even if they have no clue what the topic is about, they'll still listen!

Bonus points if you stutter a bit while talking! They will never judge you for that! They think it's very cute!

not having normative empathy is pretty cool

put a character (or song or animal or anything at all) you think has low/no empathy in the ask box

I post one character per day

I'm gonna be smart and healthy and eat lunch! If you haven't eaten lunch until now bc of hyperfocus/executive dysfunction, this is your sign to go eat lunch or at least grab a bite of something tasty! I love you!

do things slowly. skip steps. bend the rules. change the directions. do things the easy way. save your energy. take your time. stay within your limits.

be kind to yourself. everyone's different. you don't need to do things the way people expect you to. especially if you're struggling.

I feel like people never talk about positive textures and the amounts of happy chemicals it gives brains. I can't even describe the amount of times I've seen people talk about ADHD and texturs that just make one want to shrivel up and die on the spot, and while i can certainly relate wholeheartedly, i also think it's kinda interesting to look at the opposite side of it.... The texture ✨o b s e s s i o n s✨ i just got my first squishmallow yesterday and i can't even begin to describe the amount of dopamine it gives my brain every time i hold/hug it. The happy chemicals have never been stronger. 10/10 happy textures for the win!

Wishing all my bitches with adhd and autism a wonderful night and many spoons

Autistic narcissists and narcissists with ADHD are so cool and interesting!

Feel free to tell me about your special interests and hyperfixations! I'd love to read what you have to say!

It’s time for some happy stim appreciation!!!

Happy stims are a lot like normal stims, but ones you do when you’re happy and/or excited. It’s like you have so many positive emotions in your body that you just need to move & express them.

Picture it: you’re telling a bunch of kids they get season passes to a theme park. Do they sit still? No! They laugh and jump up and down, because they’re just so excited they couldn’t possibly sit still.

Did you know that humans are not the only ones that show happiness through their actions? Cats make biscuits, dogs wag their tails, and multiple animals do tippy taps! Personally, my go-to is wiggles.

If you’re thinking “but wait, I don’t stim when I’m excited,” it might be that you repressed the impulse, possibly as a masking measure. My partner w adhd & autism didn’t happy stim either, but then she saw me happy wiggling and it made her so happy that *she* started wiggling too. Now it’s just how she happy stims.

You might say “I’m probably neurotypical / don’t have a diagnosis / etc. Can I still happy stim?” The answer is YES, the more the merrier! I love seeing people when they’re excited and it’s just so much more fun when they flap their hands or jump up and down!!

I wanna celebrate all the different ways to happy stim, so,
