I always get asked if I’ve got music in my head because I’m always moving my head and tapping, but in truth I’m just stimming. I say yes.
ADHD is like when you are just chilling in class listening to music and then remember something you were supposed to do and try not to have a panic attack about as you try to do your work to distract your self from said something. Or is it just me
the restaurant I’m in has the tv on full volume and also music at the same time so obviously I’m on the verge of homocide
Having no control over the absolute wreck you call your brain. Thinking in parallel to the speed of light. Millions of thoughts fighting to share the stage in your head even if it's dark all around it. It's chaos. It's life. It's electrically alive.
Impulse control? Who's that? I don't know her?

I’m sorry, I zoned out, if you could repeat literally everything you just said that’d be great
*ADHD brain zoning out again immediately*

me, a known ADHD: memories aren't real. nu-uh. show me a memory. that's not a memory! what's a memory? who let you in here?
15 March (linear algebra study session)
Today was rough, I was constantly fighting tooth and nail to study, and ultimately didn’t get much done. As much as I love being neurodivergent, it definitely has its drawbacks. However I am going to be headed back to the doctor soon to try and help with my focus.
Just because someone looks alright doesn’t mean that they are conversely, don’t assume that people who don’t look the best are struggling.
I love all of you beautiful creatures

Ughhhh I ordered new nibs for my digital art pen(because the old one fell out) and they came today but they were the wrong damn type.
My inspiration/motivation isn’t gonna last much longer ;-;
going through the ADHD tag and feeling understood, and loved, and oh-so-comfortable in my own skin the way I haven't been for WEEKS is 🫶 i love this silly little app
Adding my favorite stims that I do!! Idk if some of them are technically stims but I figured I’d add them anyway :) also I’m autistic btw
Listening to music, swinging on my web swing (doing both rn!), snapping fingers (this is a new one but it’s pleasing to my brain), walking and dancing at the same time (hard to explain, but I kinda do an interpretive dance while I walk?? It looks strange but it brings me joy), spinning, singing/lip syncing, bouncing leg, fidget toys (slime/putty, infinity cube, magnets), chewing gum/chew necklaces, flexing my stomach, blinking fast, humming, cracking knuckles, sighing, inhaling (with nose), touching soft stuff, pacing, and more I can’t really remember right now. Some are more situational, but I enjoy all of them!
stimming is a self-soothing behavior that can be used to calm down feelings of stress, anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or physical discomfort. stimming is a natural, and healthy behavior, and it is important to allow others to stim when they need to. i am a nonspeaking autistic AAC user, and i stim a lot because it is a helpful way to regulate my emotions, and a way for me to express myself. stimming is a beautiful, and essential part of who i am, and i am proud to call myself a stimmer!
Reblog if you laundry is laying in the floor/ on the bed clean or dirty
A lot of adulthood is shouting “AUGH MY LAUNDRY” hours after you put it in the washer/dryer and running to go fetch it
Study mode activated. I have a 3-5 page paper to write for my forensic science class. I feel less stressed about this one than I did about last week’s. I’m also really proud of the gun I drew, especially since I’m nowhere near being an artist. Yay forensic science class!
My study buddy is here keeping me company. I’m on my second page and have taken my second Ritalin of the day to focus. I may drink more coffee later on to help focus my brain when the Ritalin wears off. ADHD is so much fun…
✨ Dance ✨
Sometimes I get really self conscious about the way I stim thanks to my ADHD.
I’m an all or nothing kind of gal, so it’s really hard to contain anything, especially the happy emotions.
It’s a full body experience for me, I feel it from my head to my toes. Self diagnosed with WBS, Wiggle Butt Syndrome, and I just gotta move.
Sometimes even I feel like it’s too much, so I can’t imagine how other people must feel.
But…then again…I’m the only person at work to get other coworkers to come and dance with me, no matter their age or language. When I see the light that reaches their eyes when they smile at me being silly, the shame burns away under the light of a warmer realization.
That being the type of person who is so unapologetically themselves at ALL times and IN all places to the point YOU encourage people to dance, is pretty tender indeed.
So…it can’t be all that bad right?
Don’t stop stimming friends, you’re beautiful 🧡✨
Random TMNT HCs
You can’t tell me that 2007, 2012 and Bayverse Mikey would not just absolutely jam to the Veggie Tales theme song. Like full on blasting this on speakers and belting out the lyrics accompanied with full on Fortnite dancing.
And how could they not just go fricken ham on “His Cheeseburger”
These songs were like designed specifically for the ADHD Brain tickles
@saspas-corner *hands on hips with exasperated but fond roll of the eyes* Broski, you can’t just expose me to the public like that. I do that enough myself, I don’t need your help 😆🧡
Also you only have yourself to blame. Stop being so inspiring and making the creative juices go brrrr
Do any other autistic people feel high at random times?
Like, sometimes I'll get really giggly, everything will feel hilarious to me and I'll just laugh at nothing, and I'll stim more and laugh at my stimming (e.g. I was finding the normally annoying sound my pop-it makes very funny today) and I'll do a lot of echolalia (e.g. I kept repeating "my name is poet I am a Philip" & giggling because it was the funniest fucking thing in the world to me) and I'll get really affectionate, I'm already a very affectionate person but I get MORE affectionate (e.g. I'll be talking to my dog & I'll just be like "I just love you SO much" whilst sobbing but not really crying?) And I'll feel kind of light-headed (like someone injected helium into my brain) does anyone else do this??? Is it connected to autism??? Please help I'm really confused I can't find anything about this anywhere please reblog I Beg Of You
