I'm beginning to question, from personal experience, if those who self-identify without diagnosis as #ADHD may just love weed.
I watched this video that compared an #ADHD person trying to clean to a roomba. They keep getting caught on things and then wandering into another room and you have to keep moving things out of their way or putting them back where they were suppose to be cleaning. Sure it will eventually vacuum your whole living room but with A LOT of supervision.
Then it made me wonder how many professors have undiagnosed ADHD and how many PhD students are essentially being advised by roombas. 🤔🤦♀️😂
Here is the video and it’s actually pretty funny. Relatable both as someone that has experienced and exhibited these behaviors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3I0YsfMJS8 #ADHD

Today i'm sticking to Elvanse. Why?
Because I need to be able to do personal stuff too on a work day. At my current level of awareness of how the pills work I can make the most during the day on Elvanse than on Medikinet.
The problem is the sleep so I'm going to try something new. I'm sticking to Elvanse all the way this month.
Right now these are the issues.
Medikinet (60mg): too much tunnel vision. Zero flexibility. If I'm coding is fine. But it's INCREDIBLY frustrating when I've got to do personal stuff and can't plan / keep forgetting. It fucks my working memory, I can't put it any other way.

Elvanse: works beautifully the first day after NOT taking it for a while. Second day I sleep only 4 hours and the effects get dimmed by lack of sleep. Let alone I forget to eat.
So what I'll try by sticking to it one month:
1. More napping. The fact at night I don't get 4 hours doesn't mean I can't catch up with a nap.
2. Wait 2 weeks, the lack of sleep seems to be part of the initial period. Hence why I want to stick to it 1 month.
3. Have ibuprofen and clindamicine at hand in case the lack of sleep triggers new cysts (hidradenitis).
4. Take doxilamine as needed if too much non-sleep
5. Force eat

Is there already an app for this: adult #ADHD friends & family relationship maintenance. Plug in a list of friends (ideally, select from contacts app) and automate reminders to schedule meeting up, calling, or scheduling group events, so you don't forget to see people for 8 years at a time

For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. https://about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

amy's theory of operations: I'm ADHD so don't make me look more than like 3 places for anything at all ever. I will get distracted between the 3rd and 5th places and never get back to my task if you do.
#ADHD #operations
When neurospicy folks be doing emotionally healthy communication & stuff.
Autism status check meets #ADHD Etch-A-Sketch
#ADHD anyone else clean like this 😅
