For everyone out there, i think the #1 thing that made me realise I had add/adhd is finding out that hyperfocus is one of the hallmark symptoms of adhd

I never considered I could ever have it until I discovered this. ‘Adhd is supposed to be about being unable to focus. I can’t have it if I can sit down and draw or read or play video games for 8 hours straight to the point of forgetting to feed myself, that’s like, the complete opposite of adhd. That’s just normal behaviour, right?’

JOKES ON YOU BRAIN THAT IS EXACTLY ADHD

GUYS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND

I WASN’T DIAGNOSED UNTIL I WAS SEVENTEEN

SEVEN FUCKING TEEN

AND WHEN THE PSYCHOLOGIST TOLD US ABOUT HYPERFOCUS

MOM AND I STARED AT EACH OTHER

BECAUSE I’VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE I WAS SIX.
