"I have ADHD", is a reasonable explanation, if you have ADHD and are talking to a fellow ADHD, or a parent of said ADHD. But the NT's don't see it that way. In the NT world, there is an expectation of consideration.
I know this in theory. But I'm impulsive. So guess what I have a trail of NT's that I have to start apologizing to from the moment I see them.
This is sarcasm. Or is it. Being able to handle opposing truths about ideas comes easy as I have ADHD.
I choose to play life on hard mode. But when I discovered that I actually was playing that way back in the day, the psychiatrist and I experimented and titrated to Adderall XR. We tried Ritalin, and some other new SSRI at the time. Can't remember the dosage, not remembering is a feature of ADHD.
During that time, I would take the weekends off, because I love how my brain works except it pisses of the SO, but, by doing so I was able to learn the difference between my chemical imbalance and work towards being mindful of neurotypical expectations.
These days I'm able to function with espresso in the morning, I find some good south American beans, yoga and meditation. I also work on hard shit because it helps me get into flow. I find that the medicine reduces my ability to get lost in my hobby projects.
I would definitely suggest being open to experimenting with meditation to figure out your ADD tendencies but also work with a therapist to work on cognitive ways to refocus, rebalance and be attentive. Basically learn mindfulness. Also learn to accept that some days are ADHD days.
Good luck.
