I Get A Lot Of DMs Asking Me “How Do I Know If I Have ADHD?” And The Short And Boring Answer Is “you

I get a lot of DMs asking me “How do I know if I have ADHD?” and the short and boring answer is “you can’t unless you talk to a doctor”.

But I want to share what I think should have been obvious clues to me!

I think it’s hard to judge your own symptoms if all you’ve known your entire life was ADHD. I was convinced I had no problems and just had to stop being lazy and all my problems would go away.

So, to everyone asking themselves “what if I’m just lazy?”, I hope you can find the courage from this to seek a diagnosis! And if you can’t:

Your struggles are legit and real, if they have a name or not.

“That’s a thing?”

Chill or ticked: there is no in-between

“Lets go around the room and introduce ourselves!” *internal screaming *

Probably has a drawer full of interesting knick-knacks

Sometimes picture-shy

*phone rings * “My clock is making weird noises again…”

Knows a lot, can’t put their knowledge into words very well

Knows more people in books than in real life

Small talk is varying degrees of enjoyable to terribly draining depending on the person it’s with. People that like to hear their own voices but, also want to be certain they have your attention are the most tiring I find.

Captain Marvel was everything i’ve ever wanted in a female superhero movie.

One of the things that i love about Captain Marvel is that it has no romance for Carol whatsoever, there was no sex or nudity. Instead It focused on family, on friendship, it had humour and of course it had Carol being the strongest superhero not taking shit from anyone, Destroying her enemies weapons and space ships like they were nothing. For me personally that’s all that i need. I’ve never been so satisfied watching a movie before. I could watch Captain Marvel ten times and i wouldn’t get bored.

I want to headcanon Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers as being asexual/aromantic or even just on the ace/aro spectrum because tbh i see no representation of this anywhere.

And again this is my headcanon. And putting emphasis on the word ’Headcanon’ I know how the comics go.
