[thatadhdfeel]

that adhd feel when your loved ones keep asking you to try harder to not be impulsive, but you can't even explain how much better you've gotten, how hard you try to not say everything on your mind, how hard you try to not explode when people hurt your feelings unintentionally, but god forbid you slip up once and then "we never see you make an effort." of course they don't see your effort- the impulses you try so so so hard to not act on stay inside your head. by nature successfully fighting an impulse is invisible, because trying and succeeding means you kept that shit to yourself and they were none the wiser. you're fighting a war against yourself in your head, but to them, it's just acting "normal." the standard for "visible effort" is acting neurotypical 100 percent of the time perfectly.

If you’re not actively femininely womaning or masculinely manning at all times you’re the third secret thing. But honestly it’s very obvious they think being a woman or man is something you actively do, rather than just a neutral state of being that is not affected by how much or little you think about it

You know what's fucked up?

We're forced to learn a second language in school. French, Spanish, whatever.

But in most schools...

Learning your country's native sign language is not mandatory.

This is not okay!

D/deaf people aren't only ones who would benefit from this. Hard-of-hearing or Hearing Impaired people, CODA or those in the Deaf community who's first language is signed, those with Auditory Processing Disorders, those with verbal disabilities, and many many others NEED this to be more widely taught.

We can't force them to speak our language, but we are privileged enough that we can learn theirs. And rejecting this is an insult. It's ableist.

Auditory and verbal disorders also sometimes are comorbid with other disorders and disabilities such as Autism and ADHD.

But if you want a more selfish excuse to learn, consider this:

You can communicate in loud environments

You can communicate in places you're expected to remain quiet

You can communicate under water

You can communicate across a room without having to yell

You broaden your friendship circle by being more inclusive

It's hecking fun to learn!

More job opportunities are available to you

Sign language needs to be taught in schools. Period.

Why I didn’t get diagnosed until 28 and was told I’m “too quiet” to have ADHD

(Alternative title: How instead of getting ADHD treatment I developed Anxiety to cope)

No one:

Me trying to turn my PowerPoint presentation into a standup routine:

[thatadhdmood]

[adhd-vibin-n-tryin]

I shuffled my chair in and it scraped and vibrated and I went to say “that hurt my ears” but it wasn’t just the sound it was the feeling too so I said

“that hurt my... feelings”

[smallnico]

That ADHD feel when you mention to someone how happy you are to have found a decent brand of frozen food so you don't have only garbage to eat on THOSE kind of days, and their response is 'oh why didn't you ask me I have a ton of super simple recipes for when you don't want to cook' and then they go 'just chop an onion and then...' No. Bless you and your neurotypical heart, mom, really. But you want me to interrupt my doom scrolling to *checks notes*

1. Find an onion that's miraculously still edible

2. Get the onion

3. Get a knife

4. Get a chopping board

5. Peel the onion

6. Throw away the peel (or live with the guilt of it just lying around on the kitchen counter for all eternity)

7. Chop the onion horizontally

8. Chop the onion vertically

9. Get a bowl

10. Put the onion in the bowl

11. Wash the knife

12. Put away the knife (or live with the guilt of it just lying around on the kitchen counter for all eternity)

13. Wash the chopping board

14. Put away the chopping board (or... you get the gist)

And then I'm STILL NOT DONE?!???

I'd really like to be able to JUST chop an onion, mom, but no. I'll take my frozen food thank you very much.
