Edit: I just learned from a comment on another post here that it’s literally the only rule for this community. Thanks @[email protected] for taking out the trash.


I just ran into several comments all saying this. If you’re going to be policing this community for “normal human behavior” you’ve certainly got a lot of work cut out for yourself. Almost everything about ADHD is an exaggeration of normal human behavior, we don’t randomly tweet like birds or wear silly hats, it’s the exaggeration that makes it a disorder.

It’s also really invalidating and it’s the same gaslighting crap that we’ve had fed to us by jerks our whole lives.

    That tracks. I suppose it depends on whether I’m doing it to attract a mate or just doing it to feel good about myself.

      Much like the birds tweeting. Maybe it’s all about the mating … :)

        I thought it was birds dancing that was for mating. But then again, I do dance for my girlfriend. Not great for mating, but she always laughs so I’ve got that going for me.
