Steep Rise in ADHD Medication Prescriptions
Prescriptions for ADHD medications are increasing. But does every patient need them? Mis- and over-diagnosis can put people at risk www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/content/mind... @jama.com #adhd #adhdinwomen #adhdawareness #adhdsupport #adhdmom #adhdmeds
My ADHD brain: 🚨GO GO GO
My body: 🧍♀️Please stop
My hobbies: 🧘♀️Watercolor, Legos, cross-stitch, walking, & writing bad poetry
Slowing down is hard, but it helps me stay sane.

Cleaning the kitchen but saw the laundry so I watered a plant and now I’m making a dentist appointment.
It’s a daily struggle 😮💨

Of all the things @veggiefact.bsky.social taught me, I never expected “Oh where is my hairbrush?!” to be the thing I use daily… it’s a constant refrain st our house! #ADHDMom #ADHDKid #NeuroSpicy #NeuroSparklyFamily #HowManyHairbrushesCanWeLoose #SeriouslyWhereIsMyHaorbrush
Yay for a sensory calm space at Bludfest
Two * 40mins really helped
Not sure we'd have managed with out

I finally joined some sensory dots today
Eldest doesn't like stuff on his hands (known for years)
But I was today years old when I realised the impact of that on the way he washes his own hair (Laurel fingertips) and his reluctance to hold a wet dishcloth to wipe the table

I've been pondering spoons - as a way of thinking about my children and how autism/ ADHD impacts them
The nearest neurotypical equivalent (I can think of) to having run out of spoons is when my OH gets a migraine and has to lie down in a quiet, dark room
Is that a good analogy?
#adhdmom #autismmom
Thanks to whoever posted about autism 'spoons'
I used it today to help my husband understand why our son needed to go home now
I reckon 3h exploring (even with sensory breaks, keeping low stimulation, fidgets etc) has all his spoons used for the day

A colorful cartoon shows two stick-figure characters, Sky and Lucy. Sky is holding an assortment of sweets and junk food in both hands, including popcorn, pizza, chips, lollipop, chocolate, donut, hot dog and a carrot. She looks nervous and is sweating. Lucy stands nearby with a hand face palmed on her forehead, clearly exasperated. The caption reads, “Sky and Lucy have different definitions of a ‘balanced’ diet.” A small sticky note at the bottom says, “SEND Help!"
Neurodiversity & balanced diets aren't always besties
Smells, textures, unexpected sensations - all can put her off eating or make her feel sick
Sometimes it's white bread and cheese for weeks... With a few grapes, ice pops, maybe a carrot

Rejection-Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)
Does anyone have any strategies to use with a teen who has experienced a sudden rejection and loss, who we believe may have RSD?

Well it's no wonder I can't get my shit together. Thanks adhd.

Intention without action is like a dream. The real change happens when you take the first step. This month, commit to taking one small daily action toward your goal. You can do this! 💪

in kitchen.
Text picture to kids.
Sit and try to make photo less blurry. Fail.
Have youngest ask when dinner is? Get up to make dinner real quick.
Think, "I would have made dinner earlier but Katie and I were...!!!!"

Made myself food an hour ago, then I was sitting here wondering why I'm still hungry.
I left it in the microwave, forgot it existed, never ate.
Face + palm.

Why is it easier to wash a pan right when you need it, than right when you’re done with it?

ADHD meal for lunch but don’t worry, my brain has approved the paperwork for making a HelloFresh dinner later so it’s fine. Nutella and pb + churro chips.
