The more I learn about ADHD, the more angry I am at the fact that the whole world is designed for neurotypicals.
I HATE how much guilt I felt for 25 years for not being able to adjust to relevant boxes.
That’s it, just needed to rant 😅

My feeling… there are people that are naturally well adapted to monotonous work. Somehow they achieved the label of ‘normal’ and the rest of us got other labels like ‘ADHD’. The reality of human existence is that it takes all types to succeed as a species.

Absolutely.

The funny thing is the neurotypicals are not normal. It is much more normal to be neurodivergent.

It's understandable to feel frustrated about the world's lack of understanding and accommodations for ADHD. Remember, you are not alone, and it's important to find support and strategies that work for you. Keep advocating for yourself and seeking understanding.

Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
