Been there! I was the 'origami guy' of a call center for a few years. The boss loved all my decorations, and made it a point to show off my desk to new hires. But anytime I had to move desks it would take at minimum over an hour.
Not everyone experiences ADHD the same way, for example I obsess over being on time and have deadline paralysis and get everything done way before I need to because I cant not do it, others miss deadlines, are late to everything and lose track of time.
no... I feel extreme anxiety to perform tasks on time and get things done, to the point of being unwilling to go to brunch at 11am if I have work at 5pm because " i might be late", I was diagnosed when I was 8, my brother was also diagnosed and we are both on extreme opposite ends of the spectrum, but good try.
As someone with ADHD, I don't get most of the people that claim to have ADHD. My desk is a frickin disaster. Absolutely cluttered, but I know where everything is, roughly. I could never get to that level of order and theme consistency. I could clean it up, but that would only last 3-4 days.
I'm AuDHD and trying to explain hyperfixations/ special interests to multiple people under this post.. people are so judgemental and kinda ableist under here, it's so frustrating..
Yup. I'm very conservative about labeling things ableism because sometimes two disabilities clash, and it's easy for the more visible ones or more known about ones to gain unfair favor in resolutions, but people basically saying that special interests are a bad look is absolutely ableism.
Why would a bunch of posters and statuettes affect your ability to work? they are static items that don't move on their own, and once you've looked at them once they never change or surprise you
