Going through my periodic cycle of wondering if I have ADHD, thinking that I probably don't, but then thinking "well what is it then if not that?", and then getting distracted by something else.

As someone who got the diagnosis but thinks “ADHD” as currently defined probably isn’t real; ask yourself if the tools labeled “for ADHD people” would be good for you, not whether you “really have a disease”.

This!! I’ve never bothered getting diagnosed, but basically anybody who understands ADHD is pretty quick to agree that I likely have some version of it, whatever “it” actually is. I think of tools and methods etc as like a superhuman prosthesis, like an iron man suit

ADHD as a diagnosis is simply an undiagnosed symptom of The System not being aware enough to describe and use the tool that [whatever we have] actually is. I’d hazard a rough definition as “a compounding interplay of energy and curiosity afforded by the reluctance to conform”...

Thanks! Been feeling it for a while, and the magic of Twitter algorithms is finally bringing us [the good underspoken people of the world

I didn’t go looking for a diagnosis actually; my doctor I said I had ADHD. I said “but I can focus!” She said “but only on things you’re interested in.” I’m like “isn’t that called having preferences?” I mean, I don’t buy that paradigm.

I know there are people who experience a very different thing called ADHD that’s more clearly an impairment that they might be said to “suffer” from, but mine is just like...being more driven by impulse than is currently normative, partly due to my own choices.

I was extremely ... “energetic” as a child. Surely there were bio and environmental factors in play. When I started eating a lot of sugar, I calmed down. And also nearly died from infection/osteo myelitis. Lesson learned only in retrospect, and to the world, still not even yet
