this is now the 3rd time today i've seen the term "executive dysfunction" today, and i've never seen it before today. i can't be the only one..
It’s weirder that I recently was diagnosed as a 35 year old and now see memes everywhere. Knew something was off forever. But was “successful” so disregarded until I couldn’t.
Welcome!
The next step is realizing that the ADHD isn't the problem. The problem is society is set up for typicals. We take drugs to fit their mould.
For the most part sure. But connection and conversation and intimacy have all improved even in my preferred settings and even my confidence in self of getting things done or remembering things even when on a multi day hike. Which is just tent / walk / water / eat / tent. And no tech.
Oh, yeah, the meds are great. I wish I found them twenty years ago
I will say in multi day hikes I spot every single wild animal, insect, flower etc. though. Probably was our evolutionary advantage that kept our brains around for all those years haha.
