I don't know why this Isn't talked about.
5 years ago
A good bit of people don't know this about me, but I am autistic, I won't go into the stuff I deal with, I'm not looking for pity, I more want to talk about something specific.
So all my life I've battled with ADHD, always just thinking that the only thing it did was hinder my ability to pay attention and the reason my mind has times of not shushing up when I really need it to.
But it turns out it does more than that, it kills motivation, literally, your brain wont produce enough of the chemical which pushes you to do things or get that satisfaction from finishing something
and because of that it's opened my eyes a bit more. I always thought I struggled with motivation just because I'm a lazy bastard and beat myself up over it constantly, but no, my brain is just wired differently.
Now you're probably thinking "Hey Stew? Why even bring this up at all?" Well I just wanted to tell people who where in the same situation as me who thought ADHD was just an attention disorder, it's not,
It is so much deeper and I recommend anyone who watches me who suffers from ADHD to look into it more, it may shine some light on behaviors you thought you where doing because you just weren't a good person.
People aren't born lazy or inept, people just have differently wired brains who need to be accommodated for.

But also take into account everyone is wired differently, one person with ADHD wont be similar to another.
Take into account the names of other disabilities, Bi-polar, Aspergers and Dyslexia, you don't know what it means out of the tin, which promotes research and explanation of the said disability, yet ADHD is just chalked up to attention issues because it's in the name.
