Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm not autistic, but I do have ADHD, which does, at times, trigger neurodivulgence.

Also, I am liking the application of inflectional morphology to DuckDuckGo.

The existence of DuckDuckGo implies not only the existence of DuckDuckWent (as @woozle demonstrates below), but also of DuckDuckHaveGone and DuckDuckWillHaveBeenGoing.

It's completely delightful.

"Courtney's house is that stereotypical explosion in a watch factory that somehow produces a watch. But, like, daily."

-- @JoshuaUnruh

He's not wrong about the explosive watch factory part, but I don't think I produce "watches" with anything like daily consistency. 😆

Same.

And what's extra difficult is that while we're following our breadcrumb trail of seemingly random associations, we generally get interrupted every other thought with NTs' messages that we think wrong, we learned wrong, we're just doing it wrong, ad infinitum ad nauseam. It's exhausting.

Me, I need subtitles on everything because I have the ADHD and that's how my brain works.

But if Christopher Nolan is purposely turning sound effects up and dialogue volume down "because he likes it that way," then yeah Chris dude, you're doing it wrong.

Why we all need subtitles now:

me: okay, I need to not forget these fried eggs I just made and actually eat them

me *picks up plate with fried eggs* *walks across kitchen to take meds* *sets plate down*

also me *takes meds and promptly forgets plate of fried eggs exist until three hours later*

Braining while ADHD-brained means this sort of thing happens a lot.

tfw you, ADHD mom, want to show ADHD kid the photo of the guinea pig in a "Your prescription" packet (see prev repost) but you know you'll utterly derail kid from homework, so you turn to show your spouse but he's sitting there trying to concentrate on a score study and there's no point in showing the cats the guinea pig bc they won't care about a photo so you sit there boiling with suppressed #ADHD excitement energy that has nowhere to go
