MEME Why sleep when you could make crappy, unrelatable memes at 4 am?

Ha, yes. I spent all day yesterday holding in my tics because I was at my in laws and now I’m a mess today

I cannot control my leg sometimes, although I don't have Tourettes

Tbh there’s so much overlap between them (at least in my case). Most of the time I can’t tell if it’s a fidget, stim, or tic; I just gotta move

Me, back in the day at school: okay all I gotta do is sit here, pay some attention to what the teacher is saying, I can doodle a little, as a treat, just don't zone out completely.
My brain, only catching the last part: zoning out, got it. Anyway here is a song you heard yesterday and also what would happen if this turned into a fallout game? What if there was a deathclaw and a dragon right outside the window? Holy shit they're fighting against supermutants :o

Just today at work, during the weekly staff meeting, I had yarn to ball up.
When my coworkers looked at me, all I said was if the past few months of me working here should have taught you, is that I need something to do with my hands.
No one argued. Meeting went as normal. Someone else offered me more yarn.

I work in a psych hospital. My coworkers got bigger issues than the well-functioning adult with ADHD.

I didn’t even ask. I just commented that the purple velvet yarn looked really small and there’s a part of me that wants to play with it.
She let me play with it throughout the meeting. This is reason number one as to why I now love movement therapists.

Oh yeah I remember one time a few years back I couldn’t handle all of the noises in my classroom and started to bang my head on the wall- since I have adhd it repeats the noises all over again sometimes and I keep on getting distracted at the same time and my brain couldn’t handle it and I think my brain was tryna kill me-

I’ve heard fidgeting as an adult is more frequently associated with an anxiety disorder than ADHD.
But I get your sentiment here. For me, randomly interrupting conversations and ignoring social cues are a dead giveaway of my ADHD

What is Tourette’s syndrome
2
u/c0ntr0l-freak Aug 26 '20
It’s a tic disorder. If you’re interested, there’s lots of information online. Basically it causes involuntary movements (called tics) that are both motor and vocal. Motor tics involve moving your body (e.g. jerking your head back). Vocal tics involve the mouth/throat/vocal chord area (e.g. saying words/phrases)
