inviting one of ur old friends to maybe join ur dnd group but then realising you’ve already spoiled ur character’s entire backstory to them
Just went on a rant about (read: in hearty support of) community colleges & community college librarianship on my instagram stories. Childhood best friend with whom my friendship died out in high school and who is now kin somehow bc my stepmom is her aunt replied agreeing and talking about how the basic sentiment among our peers was that CCs were a joke but we were so wrong??? Okay hello comrade welcome to the LIS revolution!
jesper: hell yea i have adhd. A Dangerously Huge Donk the therapist trying to teach him adhd coping hacks: sir,
Tune in now to watch me put off my six page final paper due in a few days (that I haven’t started) again to spend all day doing unnecessary research on the “The Avengers are the modern-day Knights of the Round Table” paper my favorite teacher is letting me write!

Thriving with Adult ADHD
Adhd could have a prevalence rate of up to 10% by some counts so like when an adhd post has a bunch of notes don't assume it's all people that are perfectly 100% neurotypical. 10%! That's a ton! That's millions of people!!
Like I know the joke about everyone has adhd symptoms but think how social media is the perfect thing to attract adhd brains. Constant new content. Reinforced whenever there's an interesting post. addicting for many people. Feedback as likes and comments.
camp half-blood adhd head cannons that no one asked for and i’m delivering anyway:
(TRIGGER WARNINGS ARE IN ITALICS FOR THE APPROPRIATE HEADCANNON. OVERALL WARNING FOR DISCUSSION OF ADHD)
(hypersensitivity to textures of clothing) -it’s not uncommon that out of seemingly nowhere, campers will take off their clothes. because of adhd, they have hyper sensitivities to certain textures, so when they feel overwhelmed they take off their shirt or pants to feel more comfortable. no one questions it after about a month and the new kids greatly appreciate it.
(mentions of overstimulation) -the apollo kids (yes, even kayla) have a naturally calming persona, so when people are stressed out or overstimulated, they go to the infirmary to see one of the cabin seven people.
-one of the first thing children of hephaestus learn to build is fidget toys, and they give them out for free. when each new camper arrives, one of the hephaestus kids will ask them what their proffered fidget method is, and they make a small object appropriate to those preferences.
(diagnosing adhd at camp, mentions of possible absent families) -for the non-nd (neurodivergent) or undiagnosed campers, the athena cabin hosts a seminar to explain what adhd is like. this leads to demigods who didn’t have the resources or consistent parental figure in their lives to get them tested to find ways to cope with their adhd.
(overstimulation in battle, sensory processing disorders) -the ares cabin collectively decides to pester their father about blessing the campers with sensory processing disorders with clearheadedness during battles. he eventually agrees. before, campers had panic attacks during battles because there was too much happening.
(using plants to cope with adhd-driven anxiety) -the dented cabin plants lavender outside of every single cabin because it’s typically a calming plant. they also use plants and give them to the apollo kids to crush up into medication for their fellow campers.
(schedules revolving around specific foods) -the camp always has the options for the same foods at each meal. at dinner every night they always have pizza, for example, and at lunch, they never run out of turkey sandwiches. of course, they have other options, but if a camper requests a meal to be repeated daily, it almost always is.
END OF TRIGGER WARNINGS
all in all, i feel like camp is very helpful with adhd and autism and other mental disorders, both similar and different. lmk if i should do another one of these. i really enjoyed it. drink water (this is a threat)
-solace (they/them)
When I found out that I possibly had ADHD I googled it and found out there were 2 types inattentive and hyperactive.
And then I got diagnosed with combined type ADHD
Like really????? BOTH TYPES HUH
Yesterday I could barely move or think. Today I'm bouncing off the walls. If my brain could please make up its mind, preferably at a nice little midpoint...

Logan: I'm really amazed how you concentrate on something and you managed to make it your whole personality.
Remus: Yes, it's called hyperfixating.
