Living with ADHD is like being chained to a small, spastic toddler who refuses to let you do your work *until you do what they ask *, no matter how dumb it is.

Yes, I’m looking up the history of Paw Patrol. Yes, I was supposed to be cleaning. No, I cannot switch. We’re looking up Power Puff Girls next.

Just an FYI, that usage of "spastic" is considered an ableist slur. You can use "erratic" in its place.

Excuse me, I consider erratic to be an ableist slur. You can use “all over the fucking place” in its place.

The problem with me trying to gaslight my brain is that I know the guy doing the gaslighting and he's an asshole who is not to be trusted.

Smart enough to come up with some neat tricks.
