What's the first thing you think of when you hear the term ADHD

Did you know it's Invisible Disability Awareness week, or is this just a coincidence?

[foxbaby]

is it? I miss it every year

[emilytheslayer]

It totally is!

[cielamara]

souldreamer might've mentioned something along those lines. I saw her post and thought "Hey, I should do something similar."

Next up, dealing with GAD? Yes?

[emilytheslayer]

Cool. :) I just wondered if it was on purpose or not.

What's GAD?

[cielamara]

Generalized anxiety disorder.

Which is what makes things REALLY fun in my life.

[emilytheslayer]

Ahh, I see. Yeah, a post about that would be good, if you feel like it. :)

[cielamara]

I feel a bit wary and odd now that I've been so longwinded and opinionated in this post.

Also, saying "HI I FLUNKED OUT OF COLLEGE NOT ONCE BUT TWICE" in a public entry was...tough. It's still a sore spot.

[emilytheslayer]

That's understandable. But that's the thing, this is how your ADHD affects you. Talking about that can be really scary, I would imagine, but also good. Everyone's experience with this stuff is going to be different, and getting those experiences out there and discussing them means hopefully more understanding of the spectrum. So good job. :)

Oh, and yes, it was on purpose. She mentioned that it was because of Adults with ADHD Awareness.

Cool.
