It's weird when a random wholesome comic really hits you in the feels
The more of these memes I see, the more I keep thinking I should probably speak to a doctor...
Yup.
Found a great Playlist a while ago, good set of bangers and great to work to.
Then found out its often used in therapy to treat PTSD and help neurodiverse focus.
Let's not read into that too much.

No idea if the link works, or how accurate it is
Laughing to keep from relating.
So what exactly is my kid's personality outside of ADHD? Every meme just describes everything they are and do. It's maddening.
I guarantee you your kid is asking themselves the same question.
Yeah
Maybe your kid is the one foretold by the prophecies - the meme impersonated!
That's something that hit me the first year after being diagnosed a few years ago, it's an executive function disorder so not at all surprising but it still made me realise just how much of my personality is ADHD
I have "eye-closey time."
I don't get it
Pink: "You could be a responsible person and be productive right now."
Green: "🥺"
Pink: "... or we could take a nap instead."
Green: "Yes, I'd prefer that."
There is additional context that "do the thing" in ADHD speak usually means completing the task that has been stressing you out, but that you keep putting off and feeling guilty about. Taking a nap instead, in such cases, is more about de-stressing and forgiving yourself for another day of failing to complete the task and not about being lazy. In the comic, this conversation takes place between two characters, but in reality it's usually an individual, internal process.
Edit: Additionally, I translated "floor time" as "nap", but it could be any non-stressful activity, even just laying on the floor, wide awake, and staring at the ceiling.
This is accurate. Best part of working from home is I can lay on my floor for ten minutes at a time when I get overstimulated
Me on core day.
