If you're my husband the key is apparently to marry an autist and let her manage all your projects.

Shit gets done.

Is this blessed autist PM hiring any new ADHD devs???

My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn't inexplicably burned to the ground!

Its me, I'm the autistic wife to a completely dysfunctional ADHD husband. I am tired. Tell her thank you.

Is this really an ADHD thing?

[–] kubica@fedia.io 43 points 1 year ago

Executive dysfunction can be a symptom of other things but also ADHD.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

It is for me.

ADHD is being intelligent and hard working but completely unable to decide a career path, so drifting through life into your 40s when you finally realise you have ADHD and have wasted the past 25 years.

Hey! We're not all hard working!

Hey nuh uh, I did all that having been diagnosed at 5, thank you.

My nemesis, choice paralysis, how you are the bane of my existence.

That sounds more like depression to me?

But in my ADHD experience: I'd think of 1000 fun things to do, but do some minor hyperfixation thing(s) and then it's 3am and I did nothing I should have done or actually wanted to do 😵‍💫

It can go both ways. If it goes your way, I consider that a successful day. Its usually easier to just watch YouTube videos to no end instead of doing all the cool things you thought about.

FUCK.

Happened to me today!

ended up listening to loud music on the new home amplifier at least

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ooh, which one did you get?!

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please don’t answer or I’ll have to waste 3 days researching amplifiers

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

I’m looking forward to three days researching amplifiers!

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Or imagining how sick it would be doing one of those activities without having the willpower to start.

This is me every weekend.

I'm getting pretty sick of "ADHD is specifically this"

That is not how it works.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

devil's advocate: "[thing] is" has become internet shorthand for "a common attribute of [thing]" likely due to microblog character limits

that being said I do get a "it's ALWAYS like this for ALL OF US" vibe from a lot of these types of posts that is uhhhh not great
