Executive dysfunction is like all of your abilities are on cooldown and you’re mashing buttons to try to do anything but your brain is just like “i can’t do that yet. that’s still recharging. i can’t do that yet. that spell isn’t ready yet. that’s still recharging.”
For everyone out there, i think the #1 thing that made me realise I had add/adhd is finding out that hyperfocusis 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
Me: man, Lito is so dramatic how did he get this way?
Lito’s Mom: throws a party with a dozen place settings and wine glasses for guests that aren’t coming and meticulously arranges the tabloids of her son having sex with another man for both of them to see as soon as they walk in just to prove a point about how much she loves and supports him
