So, I was today years old when I realized that neurotypical people apparently can add numbers together without writing things down/using their fingers/verbally counting them out.
..like I kinda thought that was a myth as I taught myself to count on my fingers with really small movements tapping my leg so no one noticed...

  @avalon This "wait, they literally meant this the whole time??" realization reminds me a lot of the realization people have when they discover that most people have phantasia.

    "No Stigma No Shame" I'm Stacey Machelle, creator of ADHD is the new Black. Coincidentally, I am ADHD and-I'm Black. I'm COMPELLED to help my fellow Black and Brown sisters kick the stigma & shame of ADHD in the nutz. Yes. Nutz. Through silly humor and serious research, you'll learn how ADHD hijacks your decision-making, your emotions, and even how you communicate. You'll also find actionable resources to help you manage typical ADHD challenges, like time-management & finishing stuff. I lived too many years suffering needlessly in silence from untreated ADHD. I was a mystery to myself, full of unanswerable "whys." Why do I start new projects move on before they're complete? Why am I always rushing? Why do I lose my keys/wallet/phone often? Why do I wait til the last minute to do EVERYTHING? Once I got a handle on my ADHD, I didn't want another woman to suffer as I did. Just because most black women don't talk about it doesn't mean it's not happening to them too. You are not alone.
