i don't know how getting having a doctor tell me that would help me in any capacity i was wrong by the way and the way in which i was wrong was i didn't know what it was i really didn't understand it um i don't know if you relate to this when i was a kid adhd what i thought was those kids are too hyper and they need a pill to calm them down that's a weird word i totally recall that word yeah oh he's a he's hyper yeah it would be a type of label of sorts and but it would but it was not very descriptive it was like what does that mean yeah so and i i wasn't even like a super hyper kid necessarily but it turns out there's like seven different types of adhd and i have combined type and all this stuff um but the the medication part of it hasn't been super helpful for me which is fine but the part that's been helpful is actually learning about what that type of like brain looks like and what kind of things they almost always struggle with or often struggle with seeing them in my own life and then being able to learn from other people like these are some tactics that i use to help me with that so things like object permanence or or transition time so object permanence is basically like out of sight out of mind it's a thing we all relate to right um most people with adhd have that to an extreme degree so it's why most people have a really messy desk because as soon as those things are gone functionally they don't exist to your brain there's not like a background part of your brain that knows like oh that's where where the thing is and the other way that this is affected is if i put an object uh in the fridge let's say i'll remember exactly where i put it if you turn it NUMBER_TOKEN degrees i no longer see it so if my wife then puts it back she'll see me stay in the fridge i'm like we're out of milk she's like it's right there i'm like i'm looking everywhere but the problem is your visual systems are referencing other you know like the part of your brain that is saying like i know where i put it it was right here and if it is not there it does not exist oh it's weird um but this is how does she do how does she respond to that i don't know she just always thought i was blind and she's legally blind so she so she's humorous about it it never causes there's no friction because of it she's my favorite person in the world like by a mile i get sick of everyone within a certain amount of time right i've never gotten sick of being around her that's cool very cool very very thankful for that um but so there's little things like that that i've had my whole life like losing things constantly and like putting things away and not being able to find them or keeping all my stuff in my peripheral and i didn't know that had anything to do with the part of me that's like i probably have adhd so then when i discovered there are so many other avenues of my life that are affected by it in ways that i was unaware i'm now so much more able to deal with
