Status Updates From The Year I Met My Brain: A ...

Who knew that consuming vitamin c (or anything that makes your pee more acidic) straight after your stimulant medication will cause you to excrete the medication faster and reduce the amount of time its effects last? Not me!

Ooo I loved playing “who’s genetically to blame?” Too as I look as my very adhd mother and very audhd father 😶‍🌫️

I do hope she brings up the fact that /because/ many people with adhd try to find social circles who accept their neurodiversity even before diagnosis, that also plays into the “why so many people you know are getting adhd diagnoses”
Like yes mom, it’s called being “peer reviewed.”

Ohhhhhhhh No Child Left Behind, how could we ever anticipate the damage you’ve done to every USAmerican in school from the early aughts

“Five months and 700$ later I had my diagnosis”
*sobbing* it /only/ took you that much and that long??

Personally triggered by the “being late to the zoom call because I Have To Fix The Problem Directly In Front Of Me And That Alarm We Snoozed Wasn’t That Long Ago”

Genuinely love the intro and how Boseley says right up from that this isn’t an exhaustive or all encompassing look at adhd but does cover a good chunk of the standard “but what do you mean you have it?” Conversation
