A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.
A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

The ADHD experience is like queuing up your plans for the day but forgetting you left shuffle on.

The paradox of ADHD:
Being so overwhelmed with my current commitments that I take on new, more interesting work, just to feel like I can accomplish _something_.
Thus doubling the amount of work I need to do…

A CSUF grad student in our Center for the Study of Human Nature (CSHN) is working on developing a scale to measure intrasexual competition. Sound interesting, right? If you have 20-30 minutes to take the survey she'd appreciate your help! survey link:

One of the most profound things I read in my original journey to ADHD diagnosis was what Dr. Ned Hallowell calls “the cough drop sign” in the book, Driven To Distraction.
I’d never felt more seen before reading this quote.
It comes from one of Hallowell’s ADHD patients:

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia ft.com/content/ef265420-45e8…
Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

The Queen's funeral will take place on my [late] mother's birthday. Mom would like that. ❤️👑
I will not be entertaining discussion about politics, the monarchy, or imperialism at this time.

"Why don't you just do the thing?"
— people without ADHD that don't understand there is literally nothing I want more than to do the thing, I am desperate to do the thing, but my brain simply won't fire the neurons required to move me into action.

The ADHD urge to go above and beyond to make up for all of the times you've let people down, but then getting overwhelmed by the planning process and then getting too burnt out to simply meet standards — let alone go above and beyond — and then letting people down again anyway.
