When RFKJr comes for the adderall, I hear whispers that doctors will step up and give it out anyway. I’ve got news for you #ADHD folks— doctors have not stepped up with giving out abortion pills. Abortions are usually just a pill.

There have been research studies done on the effect of Daylight Saving Time and the time change on the population in general, but have there been any studies on the effect of the time change on #ADHD folk? Since the majority of us with ADHD have a Delayed Circadian Rhythm (translation: we get up late and stay up late), I wonder if that makes us suffer even more with the time change. I suppose we should do the same kind of studies with children, as we know children need to sleep later than NT adults, too.

If we have a functioning Federal government in the USA next year, I expect we'll have another ineffective, performative go at trying to get rid of the time change again. There's always the people who want it to be DST every day of the year, and then there's those who want it to be Standard Time all year long. But how do we make that choice? People just say what they prefer and think that popular acclaim will make the most people most happy. But if we decide based on what is most popular, that could end up harming people whose natural rhythm is to be a late riser.

I think it's important we understand the actual impact on people before making such a big decision. IMO, we should have permanent Standard Time to avoid creating a class of permanently sleep-deprived people. (Maybe it should be "another class…"?) But making that argument would be easier if we had some research to back it up.

Anyone know of any research along these lines? Once again, I am dreaming of having a foundation that can fund research into things that actually matter to ND folk.

@xpictinaki -- I'm fickle and lost interest. #ADHD
Besides, the other social media refreshed and now I can't find the image.
This is LITERALLY the reason I started this account to dump/archive my memes so I couldn't lose them like that 😠

I think over time, #ADHD coping skills can lead to being *more* responsible than other people.

For instance, I'm generally kind of surprised when I hear someone say they spilled something on one of their electronics. I'm like "You're 40 years old: why was something that could be spilled anywhere near your laptop? Rookie mistake."

A friend of mine had remarked to this post out of channel saying:

> ADHD and autism have an even higher comorbidity rate, AFAIK, which is interesting

I find this an interesting follow up, so here is my response:

Sort of, in the case of ADHD its far more complicated... for starters the overwhelming majority of comorbidity is subclinical in this case (so doesn't typically count as true comorbidity). Moreover the comorbidity is unidirectional.

To put numbers to it (according to the best study I know of anyway):

* According to their interactions with parents and teachers comorbidity is only 3.2% and 2.6% respectively.

* For those with Autism about 1.2% of them have clinical ADHD while 31.4% are subclinical (their symptoms do not qualify for a ADHD diagnosis but they show some ADHD like properties)

* For those with ADHD about 4.1% of them have clinical Autism while 5.7% are subclinical.

So in reality the comorbidity is much much less between ADHD and Autism. I dont know off hand the comorbidity between BD and ADHD for subclinical but it likely is much higher than the numbers for Autism and ADHD

This is pretty much me with Fedi. Can't hold hobbies to save my life. Pretty sure I've dropped one tonight. 🤷♂️

I've been here for almost a year and half now. There's been ups and downs but I've always been here and will continue to be here until this place isn't.🫶

Vor nem gefühlten Monat gab es hier mal ein total geiles, witziges Erklär-Video zu #ADHS #ADHD Hyperfokus/Hyperfocus.

Ich meine es war in Deutsch... aber ich find es einfach nicht mehr...😪

Links erbeten...🙏

Hot take... Bipolar Disorder (as well as its milder cousin Cyclothymia) is just a subtype of ADHD, not its own separate disease. It is essentially where a person with ADHD cycles through ADHD-I (Inattentive subtype) and ADHD-HI (Hyperactive/Impulsive subtype). Essentially the ADHD-I is mistaken for the depressive phase and ADHD-HI is mistaken for the manic phase.

The various evidence supporting this:

* There is medical evidence suggesting a close genetic overlap between the two diseases.
* There is a very strong comorbidity with 20% of people with ADHD also having some form of BD
* The symptoms of each type closely resemble the characteristics of each pole of BD, so they are easily mistaken for eachother.

My #ADHD makes me feel like I’m working all hours. No time to play games as I’m working. But I checked and my full time freelance job brings in less than part-time money. But I’m working every hour I’m awake. Something is very wrong.
