  • Theres a list of things that they ask to figure out if you have ADHD. If you have like 8 out of thirteen things you have ADHD. Pay attention to the qualifiers though. To the extent that your life is negatively impacted, and in comparison to your peers. Everyone loses their car keys and wallet sometimes, people with ADHD lose everything all the time, and it's a hindrance to their everyday life. People who know you comment on your propensity to lose things. Everyone hates the tedious parts of their jobs, people with ADHD lose their job because they can't do tedious things.

    It may also be helpful to think about the things we can do. People with ADHD can access the expensive creative part of their brain and the detail oriented task focused part at the same time. This gives us the ability to think creatively while doing a task. There's also hyper-focus, the ability to focus on just one thing for extended periods. When the two abilities combine, you can slip into a flow state that can be very productive.

  • My Mom was a teacher. Her opinion was that bad teachers with poor classroom management skills were causing ADD hysteria. In a way she was right. I didn't have discipline issues, so nobody at school pushed for me to get treatment. I had this story about myself. I was lazy and apathetic. That's why I had trouble doing homework. That's why I failed out of college. As an adult, realizing that I suffered from untreated ADHD, that my life could have been easier...its hard. Coming to terms with the injury that our parents inevitably cause is uncomfortable. I try to remember that fallibility is the human condition. I know I'm making mistakes with my son. I just hope that I'm getting more right than I get wrong.

  • What are the best apps for managing ADHD?

  • Am I the only one who feels like productivity/organization tools for ADHD people is like bicycles for blind kids? Like, "yeah I can see how a functional person could find this useful, but what the heck am I going to do with it?"

  • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

  • Office Depot sells printers at very low (or even negative) margin, and then inflates the margins on cables, paper, ink, and warranty. If you want the best deal, get the printer from OD, and everything else you need somewhere else. That $20 USB cable they sell costs them $1 and you can get the same or better online for $2.68.

  • "ugh so many ppl think they have adhd nowadays"

  • So many of us are undiagnosed. My mom said I never got treatment because I wasn't disruptive in class. 🤷
