Some day I will remember to tweet ADHD stuff from my ADHD account but until then, I have RTd my most recent threads here from my @eatlikeagirl account. It’s ADHD innit! 😬😂

This! And this is an issue because those are the loudest voices and when I was first figuring out my neurodiversity I found these to be jarring. Intersectionality in all things. Every one of us is more than we appear and have battles no one can see. Even those with privilege.

ADHD is getting home & knowing the house is cold & thinking I must put the heating on then falling into doom scrolling with occasional snorts of laughter because some of you are VERY funny. Then noticing you are very cold, remembering the heating snd forgetting again. On repeat.

Unfortunately true and a very bug problem. We all know who we are but we are generally not allowed to be it, and are forced instead to be something we are not. That breaks a lot of us and that is when we get diagnosed. It’s not ok.

This. Email is a nightmare for me for this exact reason. I miss a lot. As is all admin and anything around invoicing. I set up an invoicing system but I still forget. Taxes! 😩 Absolutely cannot wait for the day that I can hire someone to do this stuff for me! Or help at least.

At what point do we acknowledge that gatekeeping, actively not treating or not providing enough resources for a part of the population is anything other than prejudice or oppression? It’s impossible to defend. It needs to change. I have seen NHS Comms on this that are horrific.

My latest @myrunawaybrain #ADHD newsletter. It is very personal and I feel very raw after, so I am going to take a break and plant some tomatoes and chillies. Vulnerability hangovers are like having your skin peeled off! It is important to share though. runawaybrain.substack.com/p/my-adult-adh…

Guy came to measure the fence and in my rush to put my mask on, I stuck my mask somehow in BOTH EYES. (It is an FP22 mask so has rigid edges). OMG. Monday. Stop it now! Dyspraxia! I am injured in some way every single day.
