10 Things That Should Have Clued Me in Sooner That I'm AuDHD

 

1.  I always felt more at home in my imagination and the stories in my head than in the real world. 

2.  I love being around people, but I’m also terrified I’m doing it wrong. 

3.  The joy of info-dumping about a hobby or obsession was a frequent occurrence. 

4.  “All or nothing” thinking has been the gateway to most of my self-sabotage. 

5.  The absolute need to fidget, pace, rock, or talk to myself just to process thoughts and emotions.

6.  Tedious task? Instant overwhelm. Creative project? I’m all in. 

7.  Verbal instructions = I definitely won’t know what to do. 

8.  Constantly torn between chasing shiny new ideas and melting down when my routine changes.

9.  Imposter syndrome about being a writer, adult, parent, actor… even a human being. 

10.  According to my therapist, just reading this site was a pretty big giveaway.
