Hi all! This account has gotten a lot larger. I would like to remind everyone to use the hashtag and the bot for asking questions. As the name suggests the purpose of this account is to boost questions so that people who have ADHD related questions can get answers.

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that the bot automatically retweets
#AskADHD
. The intention of this platform is for those seeking help and looking for answers to be able to connect to the community, so I'd like to ask that we avoid using the tag for self-promotion. Thank you!

Questions can range from trivial to serious but please avoid self promotion or using the hashtag to boost other content. Moving forward, I will unretweet repeat offenders. Thank you!

Hello world! I was inspired by
@AskingAutistics
#AskingAutistics
to create a similar platform on twitter for ADHD folk so that it will be easier for those of us who can't remember where they left their phones to ask and answer questions in one place.

1) Background
I set this account up largely on impulse after seeing the
@AskingAutistics
account and talking to
@lilririah
. I found that there are a few ADHD communities on twitter, but I thought it'd be nice to have a place to gather and ask questions.

Hey, so yesterday we had our first troll or at least very unwelcome person who used the # to tweet something about curing ADHD through prayer. Obviously, I would not like such things to appear here, so I immediately blocked them. Do let me know or DM me if things like that happen

Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. I'll see what I can do. My activity on this account may be sporadic, but I'll do what I can!
Fun fact: my display picture is an enamel pin of an ADHD brain scan.

Thus far, I don't think there've been any issues - I'm quite happy with how the community that has grown and everyone has been very nice. 😊
One request I have is to put content/trigger warnings if you want to ask a question that might be sensitive.

I will probably have to organise them a little but just gathered everything I could for now.
I can't tell if I've gather too much for some and too little for others. Again, feedback is welcome because I've gone too far down this hyperfocus hole to know what makes sense 🤣

Pretty sure this bothers the ADHD community less since we kind of have to live with it haha 🤔
(unless you developed some kind of anxiety around inattention/spelling)
Does bad speling or grammer *really* annoy you, as it does me? 😋

So some questions I would like your feedback on.
First, should Ask ADHD be reserved only for questions and people seeking answers/community help?

The intersection of ADHD with autism is really interesting and I think it's always a great idea to learn more about our "cousin condition" 😀

Secondly, are there some questions that may be deemed inappropriate/offensive/triggering? So what may be some guidelines to make sure questions are safe and appropriate?

I want to point out that this is not entirely a "you" problem. It's likely they aren't clear on their own expectations or aren't communicating them well, so that needs clarification. I hope this helps!

I get what you mean! Always open to feedback and I guess it depends on how big the account gets too (I'm not going to assume either way haha). I'll keep it as is for now unless anyone says anything.

Third if content other than questions are okay, what kind of content can we share here?
E.g. Invites to discords or other communities/events, ADHD related content etc.

I face this problem quite a bit myself. It's a non-linear thinking problem: whatever task you are being assigned, it's probably a hammer and nail situation to your boss. i.e. They have a very specific and straightforward solution or way they want things done.

I'll be damned if I actually remember when I set this up. I think it's been a week. Time blindness + isolation is a great combination.

I suspect if caffeine makes you jittery that might be anxiety related. Anxiety disorders affect attention snd restlessness, but plenty of ADHDers have anxiety too. A thread on alternative medication:
3rd line ADHD meds (guanfacin, clonidine) have a role regulating anxiety, feelings, and sometimes, RSD. They're supposed to make executive functioning better, but they usually have the opposite effect, because they take away a coping mechanism for Executive duysfunction: Anxiety.

Absolutely. Probably inattention?
I drop words, mix up the order, mispell them, use the wrong word etc. But dropping words is the most frequent mistake I make

Feels so weird to suddenly be surrounded by loads of posts when I spent 40 years undiagnosed/untreated/unsupported, being punished & humiliated for my symptoms. Trying to access decent help as a late-diagnosed adult is impossible too unless you have money.

Haha neither is in use very much so I figured it wont be too cluttered. I thought both would be good in case our working memories fail and we forget what the hashtag is 😂

I have skills/a support network to manage my executive dysfunction. I'm just curious to learn more broadly about how it develops in people. Trying to understand it on a more fundamental level.

Just because you didn’t see these disorders when you where growing up doesn’t mean they weren’t happening. Kids with ADHD then were just called ‘awkward’ and ‘a handful

Does anyone have that adhd urge to answer every single tweet they read. Almost like an impulse?

hyperactivity can be internal restlessness as well as or instead of external - particularly in Adults. Does your brain feel like it’s on a constant spin cycle of whirring thoughts?
