Why people with ADHD over-explain (it’s not what you think):

The ADHD rage of needing to access something quickly on an app, it’s randomly decided to log you out, AND the password isn’t autofilling.

Better to show up regulated and late than dysregulated and on time. Because your nervous system is the real clock.

Sometimes it's okay to step off your healing and to remind people why you're on one in the first place.

Proud papa today.

Ruin a movie title by putting Scott Bakula in it. I’ll start:

“To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Scott Bakula”

…and also with you.

Moana 2 is the Dukes of Hazzard Coy and Vance episodes of Moanas.

When your kid is crying, you'll never go wrong with simply sitting with them and giving comfort.

A of of y’all missed out on the childhood experience of having two Darrins, or *shudder* Coy and Vance, and it shows.

Mighty bold of me to tell my kid we can’t listen to the same song over and over again on the ride to school like my ADHD self isn’t going to do exactly that on the drive to work after I drop her off.
