  • I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

    Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

    Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk






  • From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

    He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

    He diagnosed himself with ASPD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish





  • I agree with the others to have a bunch of hobbies to pick from. For the record I have been on stims daily, but now I use a non-stim with an occasional boost from a mild stim.

    • I like gaming because there is always a new game to try.
    • I like sewing because I often need to repair something and occasionally I think of something that I can’t buy in a store.
    • I like gardening because I like cooking, and it’s fun to have fresh ingredients that I grew myself.
    • Some people like learning an instrument because there are always new songs and styles to try

    Ultimately, what my ADHD brain craves is novelty, and I can only really get that from a variety in my activities.
