Fidgeting works.

Smart watch.
Mind you, this is mostly just in regards to repeated daily or weekly functions. Set it up once and forget about it, then you have a little buzzing reminder on your wrist at all points in time. Works for events too if youre on top of things and set the alarm/reminder right away. If you can't remember to keep the damn thing charged, set a reminder for that too.

undiagnosed functioning here.
have all of these and more.
Will be working in network closet. Holding screwdriver. unscrew thing. Pickup screws, put down driver. immediately lose object permanence on driver. its gone. awkwardly spin around for 5 minutes looking. find it. realize I put down the screws while looking. repeat ad nauseum. this just happened to me at work yesterday, in front of another coworker. its usually pretty embaressing, but I just roll with it. helps I'm good at my job.
I honestly have just had to shape life around me. its worked for the most part. but yeah my brain is a constant mess, but I also refuse to take drugs outside of my caffiene addiction, probably the only thing that keeps me sane, but I can only take it in the early morning or else it really fucks with me

personally reminder apps have never worked for me, and instead I just use schizo notes. I find the best systems are systems that match my discordant chaotic brain. it helps me 'remember' by being just as scattered and chaotic, so it 'makes sense' to my head. so if I have a dozen unnamed notes in note+++ or my phone notes app or on margins in notebooks, I find things faster and easier than if I were to create a neat organized folder structure, which to me is insane. If I do the latter, I just forget about it, and then its a ton of sunk time and cost. but if I do the former, my brain will be like 'oh duh we have that random note from 6 weeks ago inbetween the two other random notes about unrelated shit' and I can go look for it.

>>109562442
i know it's easy to assume it's just kids addicted to tiktok or whatever, but i was diagnosed with it around 1996, the worse source of brainrot available back then was watching too much tv, and i didn't watch any more than anyone else did back then. i didn't get internet access until several years later, didn't even have a computer at home yet.

>>109562209
>>109562659
I was diagnosed with it and SPD/aspergers in America but was never given any "medication" for it because my mom said no. ADHD Is very real though and it is a debilitating sickness bordering on mental retardation as far as letting you be a functioning independent adult goes. You should read some books on the subject.

>>109562659
they gave me (>>109562577) ritalin. i hated it. calmed me down, but a bit too much. ruins your appetite, initially quite embarrassing as well because i was initially on the regular non-SR (slow release) version so i was pulled out of class to take a second dose half way through the day for some time.
the effects i think were permanent, i was very different after being put on ritalin but i haven't taken it since 2000. i remember finding a pack of it a couple years after i stopped taking it and my mother quickly taking it to dispose of. it wasn't until much later that i found out it was something people abused. to this day i can't imagine wanting to abuse it, because all i know about it is how much i hated taking it. i had absolutely no desire to take it of my own volition

>>109562706
you can honestly fuck right off

Did you guys know that the ADHD meds have a totally different effect on people with ADHD and people without it?
When people who don't have ADHD take the meds, they experience amphetamine effects.
When people with ADHD take the same meds, it just makes them normal.

>>109562011
Does faulty brain chemistry drive disordered thinking, or do bad thought patterns alter the brain?

There is no medication against autism

>>109562742

>>109562918
no, your posts just ooze that specific kind of entitlement that only nepos have

So if you have ADHD but live in a country that doesn't allow stimulant drugs like amphetamines, what's the best treatment?

open question for people with "ADHD" in this thread:

did you have any scans or objective testing done in your diagnosis? or did you take a 3 minute quiz in a waiting room of vague questions that was entirely for insurance purposes before you were diagnosed and prescribed as an adult?

yeah... nice one.

ADHD copers love talking about brain scans of inconsistent results which is almost never done in diagnosis. the diagnosis is performed by asking you "do you sometimes feel distracted"
that might be word for word an actual question on the 3 minute quiz you take to diagnose it

god damn you have to be stupid to fall for that

it never stops being funny what amazingly confident nonsense the Dunning-Kruger effect and source amnesia can produce

ADHD is a collection of symptoms.

The underlying reasons are probably very different

You have some people with real difference in norepinephrine and dopamine handling in the brain, like actual physical differences.

Then you probably have people who just need something more mild

This is the reason why people say adhd isn’t real and some swear it is:

The term covers a very wide number of groups with different root causes imo

>>109562942
i was diagnosed as a child, i don't remember what tests were done.
i get that most people can forget things or become distracted at times, but it's really not as simple as that.

the fact i was diagnosed isn't even something i "use". i don't mention it to anyone, i try to fit in but just can't. i wish it wasn't real. any time i mentioned it in the past has been met with scepticism and rejection, so i've stopped doing it. you don't have to understand what i live with, but don't pretend like you know enough to say it's not a real thing.

there are many published phd academics in the field of psychiatry/psychology which have pointed the things out i am saying

you have only researched things to validate your own world view.

I was diagnosed as an adult in work healthcare that doesn't want to just stamp a paper and let you go, they get paid for it so my tests lasted the entire day. Also I saw a different specialist another day that did sensory examinations so every explanation was covered. All my test results were compared to the average results for people who don't have ADHD. If they deviated a lot one way or the other it was a sign of ADHD. The final straw was when I started the meds and felt nothing when a regular person would get a dopamine hit, that's why they want to use them recreationally. Also I'm not American so any trend that goes on there doesn't apply directly.

You're probably illiterate or uninformed and choose to believe the simplistic and comfortable explanation offered by hicks and contrarians.

In actual reality you diagnose the problem in young children, usually 6 and younger. The USA was the leading country in research and study on the matter among a network of pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and other personnel.

Comorbidities are likewise well documented and written about in literature, pic related.

What often flies under the radar is how the practical knowledge in these books is disregarded or forgotten in the post-2010s internet with sources of endless distractions, and sensory overload despite the fact that many who wind up being tech savvy in their youth should be best equipped to use the tools afforded by computers for mitigation strategy. But with the terrible decline of quality in software and user experience, it's not hard to see why you'd have someone getting lost after you cross the threshold of 2007 level information technology.

Wrong, since I complained that it had no effect on me they upped the dosage instead of trying a different one. It has been raised a couple of times now and I'm already past the dosage limit that the pill bottle's own instructions say is the maximum. I'm still feeling nothing different but I just notice that maybe I accomplish more with it. Also it's Concerta and not Straterra.

Undeniably both. Unchecked, it's a vicious cycle. However, faulty brain chemistry is the major driver here.

>>109562764
People with certain disorders like autism and ADHD react quite differently to stimulants. Methamphetamine calms their brains down, where it excites normies' brains. This happens with caffeine too. It makes some people wired, but it just mellows me out, just like alcohol does (of course, without the drunkenness).

Your parents didn't do you any favors telling you everybody is going to just let you get away with being wrong. I can appreciate the fact that reading is harder for you and it's not that I don't personally have sympathy for you, but the world doesn't care and you'd better get with the program.

>>109566175
>NOOOOO I don't want even the ADHD people to surpass me, don't give them their meds!! How can I compete if it's fair??

>>109566206
Yes, and we made everyone dumber in the process. Complex ideas require attention spans of longer than 3 minutes, and instead of telling ADHD kids maybe certain topics simply aren't suited for them, we changed education to suit 3-minute max attention spans. Now we have kids that are otherwise fully capable of learning complex subjects that have been reduced to only knowing the most superficial and over-simplified bullet points that would fit in a TikTok video.

All so ADHD kids don't feel left out. It would be better for humanity if we simply accepted certain things weren't "for them" and everybody else could reach their full potential.

>>109566242
What? If meds help ADHD kids act normal and achieve more, I'm all for it, even if they surpass me.

If anybody took what I've said in the last few posts to mean I'm anti-medication or anti-cognitive behavioral therapy or anything like that that actually helps kids, that isn't what I meant at all. I'm just saying that after all that, there may be a ceiling on what some people can do, even with help, and that should be considered normal and OK and we shouldn't organize society around edge cases like that.

>>109566335

i wish meds worked on me
i have (most) of the symptoms to a crippling degree but they didn't help me at all. All they did was curb my appetite and keep me awake, with some bad side effects. Only vyvanse had a positive effect without making me feel terrible half the time, but it didn't increase my focus or anything like that. Just makes more social and improve my mood. Which can be helpful iin an indirect way though
I should have tried strattera and guanfacine before i lost the chance to get anymore. I wonder if they would have worked.

i had ai search through reddit for peptides on adhd last night
guess i'll finally try semax, it would kinda suck if this really is the cure, i known about it for like a decade now but it was expensive compared to cheaper shit so i avoided it. I still am rather dejected that the main 3 of adderall vyvanse and ritalin didn't work, but i dont have much of a choice.

anyway AI is great technology for it, in the past couple years I actually managed to complete a bunch of stuff that I never would have before, because i was able to get far further in completing it before my hyperfocus and interest in whatever it was died completely.

>>109566353
Oh, you're doing the "actually mental illness is a superpower" thing. It's not.

Normies are retarded but that's a completely separate discussion, and has more to do with integration and catering to inferior races (thanks jews) than it does to ADHD/autism/dyslexia/etc edge cases. Normies weren't beaten properly either.

>>109566433

I wouldn't consider our brains faulty. I would say we're different. My current iq clinically not some bs online test is 137. Maybe my dyslexia is a handy cap. But just because we don't fall under what the majority consider normal doesn't mean we are faulty.

>>109566441
That's what I've been saying all this time. ADHD kids should be able to fit into a normie world because that the world we exist in. They need to be able to function so they can be useful to society, or a revolutionary movement, or whatever.

Nobody said we have to keep the society we have now, but there are basic human skills like sitting fucking still, listening, and either directing others or following directions in a complex plan that are essential no matter what you're doing. Things that make you a useful human and not dead weight.

>>109566514
No, it isn't what is being done. We are catering to edge cases in society, whether they be retarded Australopithecus Africanus or ADHD snowflakes. This harms others.

If I'm bitter it's because I see kids with a very high learning and organizational potential being stunted.

I don't lay this problem at the feet of people with ADHD themselves. It's ultimately the fault of jews.

How is putting people on meds so they can be more like a normie, catering to them and not the normies who can't stand being around anyone slightly different and will throw a huge fit at the mildest inconvenience?

Normies couldn't even stand having left-handed people write with their left hand, and forced them to write with their right hand for centuries. That's how massively entitled normies are. Make things a million times harder for someone just because they couldn't stand to watch someone with the "wrong" hand. And then shit on them for struggling with it.

You know how some people get diabetes from eating too much sugar and being a fat fuck, but there are other people who just get it from the organ that produces insulin failing? Or how drugs will make people see things that aren't there and think people are plotting against them, but there are schizos out there who will do that even without drugs?

ADHD is like that. A lot of people have "ADHD" because they fried their dopamine receptors scrolling tiktok. But other people have neurons which are simply less capable of releasing dopamine in response to stimuli than normal human neurons. The people who browse tiktok all day are the fat fucks, the people who have this problem even in the complete absence of feeds are the ones with the faulty organ.

>>109562659
ADHD is real, but its so easy to fake and misdiagnose that quacks use it as an excuse to hand out meth like candy. I had to take the shit to function in school and I hated it, I'm pretty sure it fucked up my heart too.

>>109562751
Its both, the brain is a self training machine that doubles down on habits, both good and bad. The more you do something, the more inclined you are to do it again, and the less inclined you are to do something else. It also can be more or less inclined to building these patterns. People with ADHD struggle to release dopamine in response to stimuli, causing the building of these pathways to be much harder.

Strict self discipline. Keep a schedule, eliminate distractions, good diet and exercise, and often you'll just have to force yourself to do things just so you can get started on them and keep up good habits. You've got to be at your absolute best to match normies doing what comes naturally.

My mother tried everything she could to keep me off meds and undiagnosed. Then the school threatened to put me in the special ed class, so I had to get diagnosed and put on adderall. After that I functioned just fine in school, and only stopped functioning once I got off. I know it wasn't because of some chemical addiction, because I would quit adderall every break because I hated being on the stuff.

>>109564707
Nta, but I remember getting similar results from being on 30mg of adderall when I was 12. It just made me generally thoughtless and irritable, but it did make me focus. I knew actual methheads who took smaller doses than that. I never understood why they enjoyed the stuff.

Also not the case tho, more like 10 times an hour long session with a psychiatrist (so someone with a MD, not just some rando therapist) + interviews with parents to confirm I was suffering from the symptoms since childhood.

maybe you don't have adhd. for me low dose ritalin or vyvance helps tremendously with executive function(i.e. doing things and not getting distracted 2 seconds in).

I mentioned procrastinating in one of my earlier post. I could deal with ir better as a kid. It was fucking funny because things I really liked. I could do with no issue but things like English (I'm also dyslexic) I would avoid like the plague... But for example math I used to enjoy it so much. I would actually solve problems from the math books we hadn't seen. I would get someone to explain it to me. Whats also hilarious these idiots think we are retarded. I literally skipped 2 grades. That shit got me into a depression tho. That's another story.

>>109569167
Really? I felt meds just made me more compliant, I could actually focus and stick to a task. But felt it wasn't me.

before getting on meds, pay close attention to your current risk taking. then if you get the urge to make a more than minor life decision, stop yourself and get off the medication for a few months before going through with it. the "increased risk taking" side effect is not always as obvious and innocuous like buying a lottery ticket, but can be almost imperceptible 'little things' that add up. like being too open and unreserved with people and thinking that changing careers is viable when its really not.

Similar effects to Concerta but not as awful.

I was always like this and I'm not retarded. I have a slighly above average IQ, I just have a very hard time staying focused, but sometimes I'm extremely focused on odd stuff. Having a brain like that is tiring, I'm always stressed, if stuff pissed me off, I can't even think about anything else and even if I manage to focus for a while, I always do side tracking, but then I even forget the thing I wanted to do research on. I hate this shit so so so much.

so lean into your strengths and learn to con people, take risks and believe you can improvise. because you probably can. nothing wrong with winging it if you can do that consistently. but you have to not be normie cattle.

>im assuming the meds dont work for you then if you still have this problem... or...?
Nah the meds work, but they're not a complete cure.
They help me stay focused on the task when I start and not get distracted.
They don't help that much against the executive dysfunction tho. In that regard they're only part of the equation. Most of the time I still have to do all the right things for things to work. Like eleminate distractions from my evironment. But thar makes it very easy to fall into the trap of focusing on that as the task I'm going to do. Thinking "Oh, I'll just tidy up my desk and then get to work" and then spending the next few hours cleaning.
I noticed that going into the office helps in that aspect (I'm doing my thesis in combination with an internship at a TLD), because all those tasks are either already taken care of (I don't have to tidy my desk first, we have a clean-desk policy so there is nothing on it and cleaning it is not my job). But it's sunday so the office is closed

>and what will you get out of it? nothing? no wonder you couldn't force yourself to do it.
Yeah basically
over the period of time i was supposed to be doing my paper i made a thing to mtl doujins for me attached to lanraragi and also made a db for everything on exhentai. doing a lot of stuff

the worst part is when i have other stuff like the thesis to do, i sometimes put off the productive stuff i want to do because it is just too much of an investment and i recognize i should be using that invested time to be working on what i need to instead.
But it doesn't result in me working on what i need to, so then i just end up doing low effort non productive things instead.

Ironically, or i guess fittingly, I don't have much of a problem when it comes to working at a job because i can just think about how im directly getting paid a salary for doing whatever I'm doing. That said the amount of work has to match the amount i'm getting paid... a working environment helps a lot too... and the thought of recognition, but that's kinda the same as getting paid, it's got to be recognition i intend to actually capitalize on in the future anyway.

These people do not understand how it effects people because they appear normal and the only side effects they hear about are very minor. If you live with someone who has it like a gf or something they'll tell you how retarded you act/forget shit. Good example of this is people do tend to forget things on occasions when they are told.

Lol, I cannot believe retards still believe this

ADHDs != autists. They often appear together, but one thing that's true for pure ADHDs is that they have quite expressive reactions without having to do mentally exhausting masking. They can use voice speed and pitch to put in emphasis, use gestures and mimics, and they feel good about themselves AFTER social encounters, while autists might still manage to do some of these, but feel exhausted like crap.
>t. pure ADHD with hyperfixations

>>109570615
Oh, and another thing.
With ADHDs they can switch from one topic to another. I went from American Civil War to Colorblindness to Age of Pirates Currency Exchanges to Programming to Modern Geopolitics to Predator Sting Operations to Criminal Law, and yet I wouldn't want to go back to any of them because it feels like I have gotten everything I wanted out of them.

With autists these interests are a lot more stable and long-term, to the point where it becomes an aspect of their personality. I can talk shit about a lot of things, but I wouldn't ever think of myself as a master in currency exchanges of the 17th and 18th centuries; it's just something interesting to ramble about.

>>109570615
so how does the being unfocused thing work with you?

That's the thing, there are periods of intense focus for literal months, and everything's great during these. But then you suddenly lose interest - like, someone suggesting you make a career out of it. Like, bitch, I don't want to be FORCED into my interests.

And once you lose any interest you can barely go back. It's like, there's an irrational aversion I cannot fight, I get bored, procrastinate, try literally everything to distract me, but it's still there in the back of my mind.

anyway it's not really fun don't do it

>>109570851
thing about forgetting things when you're drunk is not knowing if you did or not unless someone tells you, and i have no friends.

No idea why people talk about drugs to "cure" ADHD in this thread, the idea in OP was clearly to try and mitigate it through technology, so things like programs, apps, smart devices, and so on and build a healthy lifestyle of routine habits out of them.

>>109570925
if he wants technology to fix it then it better not involve anything even remotely related to the attention economy
that means offline devices, preferably as far removed from the internet as possible
they should be self-contained too, no having to hop onto the computer to tweak or analyze things

>>109570705
only time i can hold a conversation about random shit like a normal person is when i'm drunk

I would pick up running 30 minutes every day that'll probably help your situation more than any technology could ever do

>>109570973
Quite different for ADHDs. They can *just* talk random shit. I've had conversations go from German punctuality to Electrical Engineering to Life Sentences in the Netherlands to CPU vulnerabilities to Debt Collectors to Weight Loss to PS1 emulation within the span of two hours, while being completely sober.

Which is yet another thing that's different from actual autists, because they feel anxious if they don't stick to a certain topic.

>>109570925
ADHD is fundamentally constant chemical imbalance, autism is the physical arrangement of your brain. ADHD can be treated by providing them with an external supply of the chemicals they're lacking; autism would require brain surgery to a level we cannot even hope to achieve yet.

>>109562102
Same here, I can't sit still at all and my brain is hyperthreading constantly. It's a blessing and a curse

>>109571520
can you compile gentoo on it?

>>109570975
Yeah, tried that. For a couple months during the winter of 2020/21. Man, was I into it. At freezing cold temperatures, one hour, several miles. Haven't done it since.

Again, it's like, as long as it's novel or whatever your brain *forces* you to do it, but once it's no longer novel you cannot be bothered.

>>109571485
>Quite different for ADHDs. They can *just* talk random shit.
i should have constrained that to talking /to/ normal people as well.
talking to someone more like myself, sure, i can talk all day about random shit.
like ps1/emulation, where do i start? bleem vs. sony and how it formed the legal groundwork for emulation in general? all the different machines and emulators i used to use? some of the technical details of how PGXP works? the precise technical specifications of the playstation? how to perform the double swaptrick perfectly every time? 10 different ways to play copied games? i still have a playstation hooked up to a 27 year old television, wanna see it?

wait what were you talking about again?

>>109571542
I meant multithreading, but either way, it can't compile Gentoo, I've been trying. But it can drive me and other people crazy

>>109571580
>i should have constrained that to talking /to/ normal people as well.
Oh, they were quite neurotypical. Married with children, former soccer player. I'm just good at explaining things from the very basics.

>>109571590
guess i just don't have much in common with most people. i can talk to a geek all day but most conversations i hear i just have nothing to add to

>>109570975
lol, I am a.. let's say ambitious runner (volume, not races) and do around 100 - 120 km / week, mostly on trails. And by trails I mean technical alpine terrain.
And yet still, ADHD persists. I don't get why people think, short time movement will help for the rest of the day. It might (!) help while doing exertion, but, at least for me, it doesn't help outside of it at fucking all.
Methylphenidate and desamphetamine got me through university, damn, I even thought about doing a PhD in maths, but the side effects of medication + seeing how people with "normal brains" and love for mathematics can perform let me realize, that my goals or wishes do not align with reality.
It is frustrating living with ADHD. Not even because of society, but because how most of the world works, be it man made parts or the rest.

>>109570954
>that means offline devices, preferably as far removed from the internet as possible
This used to be attainable in the 2000s, even with computer use. Now it would require a massive cold turkey effort to wipe all things emotionally tethering you to the internet beyond essential websites like maps, libraries, and so on. And purifying your phone as well. Assuming this is a realistic possibility today to live like you did in the 2000s and not encounter overwhelming difficulty in things like email being important to real life matters, or needing a phone number on a smart phone to receive texts.

>>109570975
and then you stop doing it for a day or two because you hurt your foot and are unable to start again

>>109562942
Never diagnosed. I have some traits that align with autist and ADHD tendencies, but I'm not a drooling/fidgeting retard, so I don't think I would definitively qualify as either. I came up with a routine and tried an NDRI and now I can get shit done more easily - if I want to.

>>109571652
I never claimed it would miraculously help him
I think expecting some technological device to, though, is wishful thinking
>>109571576

I agree running in the winter is real nice

>>109565191
MRI is about brain structure. We know what a healthy brain looks like and anything that doesn't look healthy probably isn't. So yes, MRI is good.
fMRI is about detecting brain activity based on blood flow but it doesn't really work because blood oxygenation doesn't correlate with neuronal activity. A dead salmon was shown to have brain activity using fMRI.

>>109562439
I didn't read it all cuz it was too long but the text wall makes me believe you

ADHD + autism is hellish

>>109573746
AuDahAdAH!

>>109562376
All of that shit can be fixed if you just sit down and talk to yourself and use proper planning. Use some drugs as a crutch if you must, but like a crutch its suppose to be discarded once you no longer need it.

I've noticed to many people who claim to have ADD just lack the ability to perform introspection and think to themselves

>>109562439
Proper sleep and use an AI to keep your notes. At least it can then organize them for you.

>>109573936
None of that shit works. I have no problem doing introspection but it doesn't do a thing about the stuff in picrel.

>>109571652
Its not the act of running that helps, but the focus of running that helps calm your mind down. You are to used to having a thousand different thoughts going around.

Running takes you away from all the distractions and leaves you just with the run.

You can substitute other things instead like meditation instead, the point is to give yourself a clear focus goal to train your mind on how to focus.

>>109569847
>Its not about friend dopamine its literally just training yourself to just always be doing something.
Those are the same thing.

>>109573966
When you are introspecting are you also scrolling or doing another task that splits your focus? If so, thats why its not working.

Absently mindingly doodling lines while thinking = fine

Reading a book or scrolling and then loosing focus and going into introspection only to go back to reading/scrolling/playing vidya. Not fine, you are just multi-tasking with a "calmer" activity.

Meth.

>>109573989
No anon this is like sitting and doing quite literally nothing but thinking, type of introspection
Doesn't do a single thing though, the metapsychology is completely detached from the execution of the actions (and wow isn't that the salient ADHD issue?)

>>109574011
Nigga, you write down your plan, tell yourself you are going to stick to it, plan how you will.

ADD people think people just do this magically work and not realize that "no, they think this shit through". This is how you fix yourself, not cry like a bitch.

Train your mind, instead of doing nothing.

>>109569105
Maybe you need to put on your big boy pants and do it? You think people go "oh wow, I can't wait to get started on my thesis!" No, they sit down and do it. Tell yourself you need to do it, and do it.

Sounds like you are just using ADD as an excuse to procrastinate.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You've got it so backwards it doesn't even make sense.Introspection is the problem, the issue is a lack of action.
All I fucking do all day is introspect and think to myself.

It seems you didn't introspect on what you posted because then you'd realize it doesn't even make much sense. How do you think people are coming to these psychological conclusions about all these aspects of themselves to fill up images like that without introspection? It's the opposite, its people that introspect that cant rattle off details about their mindset and life

As always, your response to this is going to be some snide false accusation of "bragging" instead of just stating a fact.
because you have introspection up on a pedestal as a panacea, when its the opposite, you want to be able to NOT introspect or think at all, you want to be able to at least sometimes (though really more like most times), just turn your brain off completely and robotically do whatever task is assigned.
i dunno why im even saying this, clearly the same retard from yesterday just woke up or something and decided to start trolling again.

>>109562442
This. ADHD is basically a made up autism-wannabe fake disease. People who self diagnose do it just to feel special and different from "neurotypicals" (same shit done by people who self diagnose autism btw, and all "autistic" women).

>>109574237
>clearly the same retard from yesterday just woke up or something and decided to start trolling again
Clearly he's busy right now.

>>109562816
Bro ADHD isn't real. I got diagnosed too as a kid. Turns out I was just a little bit more playful than average and didn't like sitting in a jewish schoolroom for 5 hours straight. All the symptoms are fake and self inflicted.

Having been diagnosed with autism as a kid and adult, I always find it funny seeing the huge amount of people calling themselves ADHD. I only met a couple people that said they had autism and that was after knowing them for quite some time. The ADHD people wear that crap on their sleeve. Mostly its undiagnosed, but I dont really care either way.
At the end of the day, people just love taking these mental health labels and applying them to themselves to satisfy some identity issue they have. Same goes for MBTI nerds.
Why can't you just let yourself be yourself? Why do you let the things you struggle with define you and justify your own weaknesses?
You are just trying to take your unique person that you are and give it to the cult of modern mental health garbage.
I believe the world would be better off if psychologists kept their research and findings better underwraps so we don't have internet tards try to grab it all down and play dress up with it.

>muh jews
I think he's just severely autistic and refuses to acknowledge reality.

>>109562653
I think it's a psyop to put lively (white) children under medication from a young age. But yeah, it's completely fake and gay.

>>109562941
This is a good question.

>>109562942
>did you have any scans or objective testing done in your diagnosis?

Yes.

I think you are on to something but it might be helpful to make a distinction between people who got diagnosed as kids back in the day vs members of the tumblr generation and those who were poisoned by them.

Did you know that ADHD was invented by jewish psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg?

>>109574316

>>109574300
before i was put on ritalin there was an incident where i apparently cut part of the nose of another student with a pair of scissors when i was about 6 years old. i don't remember doing that specifically, but i do remember being a bully, so i didn't doubt it.
"a bit more playful than average" couldn't explain my behaviour in my case. i don't doubt there are cases of misdiagnoses, but that doesn't mean all are.

What? I'm only talking about having ADHD here because this is an anonymous basket-weaving forum. I don't go around to people I know saying "I have ADHD aaaa" but when shit hits the fan it kind of shows up anyways.

>>109574455
my bad, i'm not great at picking up on sarcasm

>>109574455
Sure, but it still is the opposite of ADHD.

>>109574458
same for me, i gave up decades ago mentioning it. both because i don't want people to treat me differently and also because any time i have mentioned it has only been returned with scepticism and ridicule. i'd only talk about it in threads this like specifically about it.
i already "don't let it define me" in the sense that i don't consider it consciously when deciding to do things, but that doesn't make it magically go away, either.

>>109562011
>What kind of tech or software can you best use to mitigate ADHD and stay a functional adult?
Bingeblock.com, walking *AT LEAST* 15 minutes a day, and ambient electronic music will make you basically normal.

>>109574543
>and ambient electronic music
Nigger, shut up. I already have music running in my head constantly. I cannot make it stop.

>>109574553
That's the point. The other music sucks up your spare attention so it doesn't take your whole brain with it.

>>109574458
Im just tied of hearing irl. I feel like every other month I have someone new tell me they got and they always sound so proud of it. Went on a date with this one girl who talked about it the entire time with emphasis that she was a woman with adhd which I guess is different then normal adhd.

>>109574558
>it doesn't take your whole brain with it
It doesn't. It's just background noise.
Whereas, when I actually listen to real music, it DOES take my whole brain with it.

One person I know embodies this perfectly. He's alright but he really really REALLY does not NEED all these fucking STIMULANTS to be extremely energetic, active and loud for an entire day and night. He drives everyone insane when he gets his fits of laughing hysteria.

Just take the extremely common medical pill to calm you down like fucking 20%. It will even help you in academics, professionally and relationships. We're not euthanizing nor lobotomizing the "mentally ill" anymore. You're not a target of ill will.

>>109574612
Both. I've had Amaranth and A Stranger I Remain stuck in my head for months the same way as Touhou and Ace Attorney music. This one specifically somehow reminds me of the fucking music in Beyond Good and Evil.
