What the fuck? Do...do I have ADHD? This entire meme is...me??? My wife gets annoyed when I interrupt her, even though she will talk straight for 15mins and leave no gaps in...and she has been told she has ADHD.
Or is this like "hahahaha, I got a cold, so I googled symptoms and it says I have stage 4 brain cancer"...meme?
If you're actually concerned, get checked out. While I appreciate the rising visibility of neurodivergent traits, it's also very clear that ADHD (and to a lesser extent, autism) are very much "in style" because people will make a meme around just about any human feeling and claim it to be related to ADHD or autism. This one seems a bit more relevant, but again, if you're truly concerned, get checked out. Don't rely on memes from the internet to diagnose you.
%100, at least this will get me to get checked out. I went as a kid, but this was 35+ years ago now. I don't remember what the diagnosis was, but that's back when they'd just say kids are eating to much sugar which makes them hyperactive, which is bullshit. This at least makes me feel like I do need to get checked out though, cause this silly meme is shit I do on a daily basis without thinking about it.
You might have gotten in before they added the H lol. My diagnosis in the early 90s was called just ADD. They hadn't added the "hyperactive" part yet. The name does it a disservice though because it isn't an attention deficit, it is in fact the exact opposite. I have too much attention - I just can't always pick where that attention goes.
That would make sense. I just remember going to a doctor and them asking me a bunch of questions and then talking to my parents about some shit and I remember him saying don't give him a lot of sugary stuff. Nothing more came of it.
