ADHD memes

I'm obviously whatever you would like me to be.

One of the complications of masking

I like to remove screws when disassembling things before throwing them away. Then I store them away in case I have a need for that exact screw in the future. Out of the hundreds collected I have used at least 4 so it was time well spent.

Hastily remembers im camouflaging to keep my job.

"I like cats, video games, a good book, tacos, cheese steaks, women"

Oh shit, what am I listing off now?

"You know, computer and things."

"Computer? Ok..."

Fucking nailed it.

Work icebreakers, where the extraverted host on a training day excitedly says "tell me something fun about yourself" or even worse "two truths and a lie."

As a medicated ADHD adult, I struggle with this, too, because someone who asks this may be looking for specific aspects of your personality, or hobbies, or literally anything not related to what you may be thinking or worrying about at that moment. So make it a point to put the ball back into their court:

"Sure, what do you wanna know?"

IME: if they don't know what to ask, then they likely don't actually care, so apply the K.I.S.S. principle and pick one not-interesting thing. Not your circus, not your monkeys.

I dunno man, i just work here

asshole for a brain

This, and then, after you tell that you are neurodivergent, you have to explain what it means and make examples 😣

Luckily, now I have chatGPT for rescue spitting out most common symptoms
