Hi all ,
Though I am not officially diagnosed yet , it looks very likely I have ADHD . I am early fifties and never knew . It's a relief as clearly my brain is wired differently. My question is about the structure thing, particularly talking and being 3 steps ahead and those deepdives no one wants to know about. Any courses or programs, videos you recommend? Thank you

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse? I get it, I'm 5'4 and Black and work in pediatrics, but the assumption and casual racism is kind of ridiculous when the actual nurse has just told you that the doctor's coming and then I walk in the door. Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

Just restarted stimulants and already I'm dealing with twitches again. Does anyone else get these? No type of pain or anything just every once and a while my body will twitch strongly. Afterward I feel normal, but it's a bit annoying, and I can't control it at all which is a little disconcerting. Don't remember this from when I took stimulants as a kid, but it's been a while.
