In the chapter I'm (re)writing, a character expresses common misconceptions about ADHD. Such as:
- Women and girls don't have it
- If you can do something sometimes, you can do it always
- "Everyone is a little ADHD"
What are others you've come across?

in reply to Gilly Gunson • • •Yes! I think this explains the "women and girls can't have it" - because we tend more to the inattentive type!

It's a life-changing moment, isn't it? Starts a process of going through your whole life in your head, reliving everything, but now with a new understanding!
It's relieving to know the reason, but also hard and takes time.
Community is so important, we're here for you! ❤️

i hate that i am now like more easily overwhelmed from environment/sensory stuff than before because im more aware of it but at least i know when to tap out

in reply to m455 💅 • • •Yes! But now you know you're not to blame. It's your brain wiring! 😍
Along with it you'll start noticing the richness of ideas, the extra energy etc. - the highs, alongside the lows. It's just harder to see those because "why wouldn't it be like that"... But that's not the truth!
