@Design Thinking! Comic I have been putting back getting a formal ADHD diagnosis because my symptoms have only been mildly annoying, mostly to my partner. But when we consulted a couple’s therapist who specializes in neuroatypicality between partners, after just 30 minutes of talking, she told me point blank “You have ADHD, I can write you a letter right now if you need”.
@Hypolite Petovan @Design Thinking! Comic Isn't it interesting how we find coping mechanisms that just kind of work until we find a partner for them to confuse the hell out of?
@Jonathan Lamothe @Design Thinking! Comic Actual conversation with my partner: Me: I don't need you to do X, I was doing it fine before I met you Her: 😬
@Hypolite Petovan My first fun one after moving I with Katy was explaining that my morning routine needed to be done in a certain order (while competing for bathroom resources)
Her: Do you want to brush your hair now? Me: I can't. I haven't brushed my teeth yet. Her: 🤔
