we’re gonna hire some quack doctors to reinforce our insane harmful disinformation

So we can continue Republicans eugenics policy of infecting more Americans with disease, so we kill more Americans and disabled some of the rest

To make it easier for fascist oligarchs to make Americans slaves

we’re going to manufacture bullshit to confirm our disinformation, to help the great Republican eugenics project on infecting and disabling more Americans and killing them so billionaires get bigger tax cuts and the greedy oligarch’s parties class war on the poor and regular Americans increase.

well, that’s great but FYI people with ADHD have huge rates of type one and type two diabetes and worse outcomes, so given the hyper focus is such an enjoyable state I highly recommend ADDers set alarms before you start activities that might trigger hyperfocus so you’re not harming your pancreas.

Mine isn't conversation, used to forgetting what I was going to say. :) but being in that "zone" of productivity getting things done & interruption - bladder exploding or hands shaking bc ya forgot to eat today, or the dog needs outside now. Being able to pick up again where I left off is amazing.❤️

I sold output computers for seven years and used Macs for four decades

I noticed that there’s a lot of people in high tech with ADHD

That article has been translated into multiple languages. Got a lot of unique hits when it went out.

ADHD is not a super power in every area of life

It’s a superpower in areas that we find interesting and have some skill in & enjoy a bit of a challenge

teens with ADHD or more likely to drop out and have lower college entrance rates

students with ADHD have higher post secondary dropout rates

Adhd meds can be very useful but even with the meds you might get interrupted and forget where you were and the solution to that is to let it go and if it’s important to come back not every idea we have is 24 karat gold

Iit’s more important to have a peace of mind versus attachment to one thought

That was mindblowing to me, for me it was that inner anger of being interrupted bc I wouldn't be able to just pick up where I left off being GONE w the med.

That's not a myth. ADHD is not 100% pathology.

ADHD can be your superpower

ADHD can be your kryptonite

Often both in the same day. See my post.
