In which neurodivergent diagnosis did you recognise yourself? Or in which combination? And what was it in there, that really hit home for you? ❤️🙏

I did my quick adhd snapshot yesterday, feeling rather sceptical about it, but it was remarkably kind and empathetic. One thing that was a bit of a revelation. I have this strange dysfunctional empathy. I feel sorry for struggling animals and stop to talk to random dogs and cats that I meet. There was a magnificent husky with an elderly and lame black Labrador that I met one day, and I said “what a beautiful dog!” and stroked the lab, because I thought he probably heard people praising the husky all the time and could do with some validation. I feed the birds, the squirrels and the visiting fox in our garden and adopted a scruffy, smelly old dog, who was about to be put down by his owner, because she couldn’t care for him any more. I love him. I even feel sorry for tree saplings who are in danger of being weeded out of the flower borders, so I dig them up and put them somewhere safe, where they can hopefully live their best life. It probably doesn’t take a genius to suppose that I’m pouring the empathy into stray animals that I can’t give myself, but that’s what the AI suggested and it felt very insightful. Whether it indicates ADHD is another question that I haven’t resolved yet.

Does anyone get really frustrated waiting in long lines?

Just for 😁. What's your type? And have you discovered your special ADHD Human Design super power?💪

I’m curious if there is anyone in this group who has had less than 4 different types of jobs. I’ve done so many different types of work that I don’t even know how many there have been…childcare, administrative assistant, server, food co-op founder, real estate investor, property manager, tailor, aesthetician, store manager, teacher, speaker, counselor, educational consultant, mediator, coach, photographer…to name a few.
