Here is some information on diagnosing ADHD: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html

Please note that nobody here can diagnose you. Please see a medical professional, they'll be able to get you started down the right path.

I really hate the ADHD moniker. It gives people an entirely wrong idea of what the condition is, and what symptoms are associated with it.

It should really be renamed EFD (Executive Function Disorder)

We should create sanctuary districts in every city where they can seek help and rehabilitation, while living free and retaining their dignity.

~it's a Star Trek reference in case you think I'm serious~

I have a nosy neighbor that also happens to be a social worker. She made my life hell last year by getting cops involved in a situation that didn't necessitate them, and additionally forced me to go through all sorts of hoops and psychological examinations to prove my state of mind. This law, despite it's good intentions, makes me super nervous after having gone through that BS

Median ~~life expectancy~~ age of death in the US is 79 for women, and 73 for men. So, 30 is more like 38-41% of the way through your life.

Weirdly enough, I also don't have a minds eye either. I don't see things in my mind. So, despite knowing how to touch type, and only owning blank keyboards, I have to think about typing the word to figure out where the letter would be, I can't envision it. It's weird.

You're right. I use Dvorak on an ortholinear keyboard.

Surprisingly, the food at that place was so mediocre the cricket taco was probably the best item that was ordered that day. (That's not saying much)

I went to a restaurant that served a deep fried cricket taco, that also happened to be the most expensive taco on the menu

I had to look up a qwerty keyboard to finally get this
