ADHD starter kit

Hi I have ADHD and have just recently got into a relationship with someone who has been very understanding about it. She asked me about the things she would "need to know or I'd like her to know" about it. For example, I'm not forgetting where I put my keys everytime they leave my hand on purpose. It's just the ADHD. Do you think you could make me like a ADHD relationship everything you need to be aware of list? Sort of like a starter pack. I'm no good at this kind of thing.

Sure! Full disclosure: I’ve never been in a relationship. Also, this is not a complete list! 

Time blindness 

This is a real symptom of ADHD that affects our ability to accurately sense the passage of time (“It’s only been 10 minutes—how can it be 3 am?!”) Time blindness can also cause issues estimating how long something will take (“It should only take me 5 minutes to get ready!”) and judging the urgency of things that our brains perceive as far away (“I know I should study for the test, but it’s not until next week—I have plenty of time!”).

Emotional dysregulation 

Our frontal lobes do not reign in strong emotions like they should, so we tend to have strong, impulsive reactions, especially when we are upset. RSD, or rejection sensitive dysphoria, is part of this: if we perceive even mild criticism or rejection—or even fail to meet our own expectations—it can feel like the end of the world.

Under-stimulation 

Because we don’t produce enough neurotransmitters, our brains are chronically starved for stimulation. Under-stimulation is boredom, but an extreme level—and for people with ADHD, it can actually cause secondary depression.

Short term memory 

This is why people with ADHD forget what they were about to say, forget what YOU just said, or forget to pick up groceries, pay bills, or turn in their homework. This is not carelessness. It is a working memory deficit caused by neurological differences.

Attention dysregulation (not deficit)

This is one of the main problems in ADHD. We struggle to control the subject and intensity of our focus. This means that we can exhaust ourselves trying to focus for one hour in class—but may spend all day hyperfocusing on our newest project, even forgetting to eat or drink. Others may think that this means the ADHDer can focus “when they want to,” but hyperfocus is usually not voluntary and can be as hard to control as inattention.

Executive dysfunction

Executive functions are cognitive skills housed in the frontal lobe (the brain region most affected by ADHD). These include things like emotional regulation and working memory; also organization, planning and prioritizing, and task initiation.Trouble with task initiation is often perceived as laziness or procrastination. In reality, executive dysfunction can cause an ADHDer to get “stuck” before starting, even if they really want to do the task. Difficulty with task initiation is why I get “stuck” in my car after parking—and sometimes cannot seem to leave it on my own, even when the interior of the car is over 140 degrees. 

I firmly believe everyone with ADHD should do their best to own it and learn to manage it. Most ADHDers learn various coping strategies to help them deal. But it’s also important that the people in our lives have realistic expectations and know that even when we try our best, we will still have symptoms. It is not a sign that we don’t care about them or aren’t trying.

Imagine my reaction when someone commissioned me to draw Thel Vadam' ✨ It was like a dream come true xd he's one of my fav characters from the HALO franchise. He's so damn cool and OP <3 <3

people who don’t have adhd: we all are a little adhd!!

me: well do you have the debilitating symptoms of RSD that make you feel like a failure 24/7 and that everyone you love hates you?? Do you have sensory issues that make it difficult to function without getting irritated at the smallest things?? or extreme impulsiveness that can destroy relationships and even endanger you at times???? or do you develop maladaptive coping skills that can further destroy your mental state?????? 

them: no?

me: THEN YOU DON’T HAVE FUCKING ADHD!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK OFF 

All of this.
