I'm rereading ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life, which I read years ago. And now that I'm taking #ADHD medication, I understand so much better a lot of the things mentioned there! 😂

But I see also that without knowing it, I was already compensating with certain tips. I'm going to try other suggestions, we'll see!

@adelinej@piaille.fr I find it quite interesting when adults learn they are #ADHD (or #ActuallyAutistic), often they've already developed an impressive arsenal of accommodations. People know what they need to function, even if they don't know why. People are kind of amazing, really.

Yes. Although, that doesn't stop many of the things we've learnt to do, coming with an unhealthy dollop with guilt, for having to live that way.

@pathfinder@beige.party @adelinej@piaille.fr And not all of the accommodations are healthy. But they still demonstrate the creativity of human beings faced with challenges they don't understand.
