My Favorite Characters with ADHD

Again, these are only my opinions.

Jeremy - The Secret Of NIMH. Come on. Look at him. He is a combined-type ADHD boy if ever there was one. Distracted, clumsy, impulsive, I bet the writers either had ADHD, knew someone who had ADHD, or had a child with ADHD.

2. Newton Geiszler - Pacific Rim.

Also impulsive as fuck, a class clown, obnoxious, yet obnoxiously smart, and somehow still charming as fuck. He reads very ADHD to me. BB. Forgive me for using the meme gif. It's just so good.

3. Rose Nylund - The Golden Girls

Who doesn't love Rose? She's friendly, sweet, fun, creative, horny, and hilarious. She also can't remember anything for more than five minutes, and is the human equivalent of a small, cute dog who bumps into things a lot by accident. I love you Rose. Long live Betty White.

4. Sherlock Holmes (The Jeremy Brett Granada-Holmes).

I actually think Holmes may have had both ADHD and Autism, but really, Brett's Holmes is bombastic, impulsive (seeing a trend), able to hyperfocus at the speed of light. Overshares, blows up friendships. Cannot keep a clean flat. Hyper as all get out. Think about it.

5. Nadja of Antipaxos - What We Do In The Shadows

She's a hot mess. Distracted, forgetful, intensely interested in some things, and cannot be bothered to give a flying fuck about other things. Out of sight, out of mind. She's probably also AuDHD actually, but for the purposes of this list, I will draw your attention to her many impulsive and rash decisions surrounding her emotions, and her over the top RSD. She's so beautiful, help.

6. Jonathan Strange - Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

Oh my god such an ADHD boy! He cannot sit still, and he has no patience for rules or regulations. He's self centered, impulsive (hello!), running off on the King's Roads, and drinking mouse juice to make himself go mad on purpose. Failing at four careers before finally becoming a magician by absolute accident. I love you Johnty. Never change.

7. Cornelius Hickey (or whatever his real name is) - The Terror.

He's impulsive (aye-oh!), makes sudden, rash decisions, is prone to flashes of anger, has off the charts RSD, and though he manages to hyperfocus on sabotaging the expedition for his own needs, he still makes a lot of careless mistakes and fucks it up royally. Too bad one of his hyper-focuses wasn't "learning about ships". I love you Hickey, you adorable bastard. How is his hair always so good?

8. Back to JS&MN for Christopher Drawlight.

Christopher Drawlight cannot sit still to save his life. He's always being charming, chatting people up, and making social connections, both real and fabricated by himself. Only sometimes, he loses track of which lies he's told, and to whom, which gets him in a lot of trouble. His hyperfocus is social status, and he can't let it go, even at the bitter end. He's really one of my favorite characters, even if he is a horrible person. This goes for both book and show Drawlight, by the way. Both top notch. Both ADHD as fuck.

9. Dory - Finding Nemo.

I mean... do I have to say anything else? I don't think I do. I love Dory so much. I relate so, so much. Inattentive ADHD Fish Sister.

10. All versions of Doctor Who, but Tenant is becoming iconic, and I love him, so let's go with number 10!

Just an all around hyperactive ADHD guy. Fun, creative, adventurous, risk taker, IMPULSIVE (it doesn't end). But really, all Doctor Whos feel ADHD to me. There's something capricious and clumsy and dreamy and jumpy about all of them.

[fuck-customers]

Tl;Dr I worked with the worst person I or anyone else may ever know...

This is a long, epic of a Fuck co-worker story. So let me begin to tell you all about the worst person I had ever met in my entire life, and my experience in hell working with him. When I was hired in, i didn't think much of him. He was loud, kind of obnoxious, but I didn't think anything horrible. My opinion changed entirely very quickly. For starters; this guy was 19. 3 years younger than me at the time I was hired. My manager showed me the ropes, and I was in charge of cleaning the cafe of the gas station, for the most part. There was a chore list for both registers, listing all the jobs of each shift. I would go about doing my chores exactly like I was shown by the boss lady. This kid would start giving his two cents on what I was doing whenever i was doing something... I was doing it wrong. I should do it like this. Like that. Like this. It was annoying at first, but I sucked it up because I don't want to cause drama in the work place. It kept happening for weeks. Then he moved onto doing my dishes for me. I figured alright, I get a break from dishes. But then he makes me do the outside trashes, and chores listed for his register, that should have been done earlier in his shift, (I am a mid shifter. I come in later and leave at midnight) and then still a bunch in my own chore list. I hated the trash, but a break from scalding my hands in dish water was alright... It was not alright, though. I heard from my other co worker that it wasn't my job to do the trash outside, or the other things he told me I had to. He just pushed his responsibilities onto the new hire. So boss talked to him, and that was that for now... then the trash stopped being done, as well as his other chores that he was making me do. I went about my way doing my chores while chatted up the customers, talking about himself, giving weird and unsoliscited compliments to girls of all ages, just schmoozing and making everyone uncomfortable. He would go on and on about himself, telling the same stories, trying to force pity out of every single customer. He would say stuff like he couldn't afford lunch today, when just earlier he would brag about his social security check being 600$, and about his new Dr. Dre speaker pill. (He worked full time and got 600$ ssi... for "bi-polar." As someone with Borderline, aspergers, depression, severe anxiety, and other shit combined into a cocktail of insecurities and dysfunction, I was disgusted that he was bragging about it while I could barely even work 3 days a week without a massive meltdown... this guy didn't help.) Anyway. His chores would not get done, and he just hammed it up to people who were visibly repulsed. (Whenever he went on break people would come up yo me like "Thank god he isn't here, I didn't want to check out with him." Both men and women. He would shoo male customers away to flirt with the women. Even women who were there with their boyfriends. He would say classic neckbeardy things, ask ladies about thier boyfriends, and then complain to us that these bitches go only for jerks and that he is such nice guy. In the summer he would also make comments about how hard it was working when he kept getting boners watching little girls in shorts... He was so gross, and no customer liked him. For good reason, as you can tell by now..) So when boss confronted him about it, my good co worker friend overheard.... Now. I let my work place know up front that I have aspergers. It's not an excuse or a crutch, I just want people to understand me a little better. He blamed my aspergers for his work not being done. He said "I couldn't leave her alone at the register!" And my boss didn't do anything about his remarks. Just told him to do his shit... He never did. And I never did anything for him. I confronted him about it next time I worked with him because I was offended and livid that he said that. I was nothing but friendly, even though he rubbed me the wrong way. He started insulting me. Calling me unprofessional for bringing this into work, saying I was unfit and incompetent, and how i shouldn't bring personal stuff into my job. After that exchange I was holding back tears, albeit not very well. I wanted to die inside. After that I ignored his existence. Whenever he said something to me, I wouldn't reply, I didn't care if he didn't do his shit, I just kept my head down and did my own work. He kept blaming me to everyone we worked with.... And that hate rubbed off on another co worker too. (She complained about me not doing my job while simultaneously complaining that I only did the cafe area... that I was hired in to do. She also straight up told me she would hate to have a child with autism. That hurt too. But I feel bad for her brother... Who kept calling him her sister. He is trans and she said, and I quote, "I don't see her as a man until she grows a pair of balls.") I wish it ended there, but I had a wedding to attend in PA for my aunt. I requested two weeks off so I could head up there and have time with my family. He didn't like that. The day I was scheduled to come back he turned the grill on as high as it could go, piled on hotdogs and taquitoes, scorched the hell out of them, squeezed out all the fats and fillings, threw that food away when it was all dried out, put new food on the grill to do the same, and bragged about it to the good co worker... She told me about it and it took 2 hours to scrape clean... I was just on vacation. And he did that. I tried to get a petition going around listing everything he had done since he started because he has done all that, and countless more things, even racking up as many points it took to get fired, but all the store director did was tell him "Try not to do anything else and you can stay." He even made sexual remarks about another employee, and after she turned him down he spread lies to customers saying she was a slut... for not dating him... (Girls he went to school with would talk about him, too. One said he spread a lie in highschool after she got strep throat and had to miss school, he said that she got sick from giving so much head. After she turned him down, also, might I add.) One night when this girl worked with him, the good co worker was there, too. He wanted to punch out, but they refused to let him until he did his chores. How did he respond? This 6'7 behemoth grabbed this 5 foot tiny girls atm and twisted it behind her back until she was on the ground crying. Good co worker got him to stop and told the store director, but the girl quit after that night and refused to say anything after. Physical harm to another employee? That wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back. What was? He hit on an 11 year old girl. Mama bear came barging in and cussed his ass out and then called corporate. Store director came in and escorted him out. I and everyone else was relieved that this cancer was finally gone! Even customers came in smiling. Every other one said they finally felt safe to shop here again. Tales spread of his reign of terror finally ending... He applied to other gas stations but one of my friends who works at one of them down the road said that as soon as they read his name that they threw out his resume. (This kid is also banned from the chain sub shop in down. Which is honestly hilarious. This isn't even everything that he has done or said, either. He would always brag about his body. Or his future job that would get him over 200k a year. Etc;... How he got transferred to the Gas station is another story, as well as when he first worked for the store itself and begged for a job again. He is also a die hard Trump supporter, and was incredibly transphobic to a transgirl that worked with us, too. He was a menace ) Though he still comes into my gas station and talks to the newer employees like he is such hot shit... But I tell them the truth. (He still can't find work even after a year. I'm glad.)
