  • I’ve been needing blood work done for literal years and I just keep putting it off or forgetting because I have ADHD. I am attempting to get it done this Wednesday because I have a doctor’s appointment next week. If I don’t get it done my doctor said I can’t get renewals on medication I need (including meds for ADHD lol) because the meds can cause all sorts of issues if you have high blood pressure or a high red blood cell count, etc. Womp.

    If you’re open to an idea for your cats, what I’ve done is condition my cats to expect that they will be fed only when a specific alarm tone goes off at 5pm and at 9pm (my wife feeds them in the morning). I started doing it because they were whining for food at 3pm (2 hours early!) and it was so annoying, which seems similar to your situation. For best results, feed them immediately after the alarm and stay consistent. If you want to change the alarm tone later, go ahead, but expect confusion at first.




  • I am able to “visualize” the spatial distance between objects. I put it in quotes because it’s generally blurry 2D lines (top down, like a schematic) or purely based on the relationship between those objects (i.e., I don’t “see” anything, it’s based on memory and spatial awareness of an environment I experienced using all of my senses).

    These “visuals” are static and can’t really be manipulated in any way except to zoom in or rotate a little, maybe 45 degrees max. This is also why, during reasoning assessments for jobs, I take forever to answer those questions where they show you a shape, then disassemble the shape and ask you to select which set of faces it’s based on. It’s excruciating.

    In real life I don’t have much of a problem; in fact, I have an excellent sense of direction that my wife envies because she’s the opposite (great mental visualisation and vivid dreams, but no idea where she is most times).
