Thanks for sharing another post!
I've been coping with understanding my ADHD for a few weeks now. Being diagnosed after many many years of misdiagnoses š„²
It warms my heart to see others are making an effort to understand themselves as well.
And even more to see that people are interested in understanding. Seeing that this post was featured!!!
ADHD is surprisingly hard to understand. I'm saying that as someone that has lived with it all his life, and even went on to study psychology at university.
May I suggest you share a little bit about Attention Deficit Trait? I think many neurotypicals often suffer from a lot of the same problems as us. In many cases though, environmental interventions can help a lot!
Here's an article by Dr. Edward Hallowell: Overloaded Circuits: Why Smart People Underperform
Here's a small quote:
"Unlike ADD, a neurological disorder that has a genetic component and can be aggravated by environmental and physical factors, ADT springs entirely from the environment. Like the traffic jam, ADT is an artifact of modern life. It is brought on by the demands on our time and attention that have exploded over the past two decades. As our minds fill with noiseāfeckless synaptic events signifying nothingāthe brain gradually loses its capacity to attend fully and thoroughly to anything."
Hope this helps and adds a bit to the conversation :D
