#abcs of adhd
Guys, please tell me you guys know what the fuck I mean cause twitter didn’t relate to this much.
It was genuinely such a weird time in my life and I’ve not seen many/ anyone else talk about something similar.

If anyone is wondering why I’m posting screenshots from my tweets rather than just posting here:
The character limit on twitter is easier on my spoons and the external limit aids my executive functions.
On Tumblr, I can write as much as I want, but the sheer freedom is suffocating. I want things to be PERFECT but perfection is impossible.
I imagine all ADHDers should know this feeling.. when you’re trying to explain something and you kinda go over board cause you want you make sure the other person understand?
Like when you’re apologizing over and over to make sure the person knows that you’re sorry?
So yea, the external character limit forces me to be succinct.

*Though, this really only applies to more smaller tasks (such as doing the dishes). Giving very specific instructions for more complicated tasks can confuse and bewilder us more.
** And yes, ADHDers can take things literally too. Its not much of an issue for us as autistic folks though.
