AuDHD here, it goes in waves. Sometimes I'm really on top of it and other times keeping up with this feels like tyranny to my brain and I pay the ADHD tax.

Reminds me of an old (somewhat overly militaristical) analogy I used to say...
"I'm like artillery, not like you frontline tanks. I move slower, have less armor, take more support, but when I have the support and get into position, I hit harder and further."
We could be better for society, if society were better for us.
I went to the pharmacy to get my ADHD medication refilled and they told me my script had expired the day before.

This with banks/401ks is part of why I got into Bitcoin. It's more complicated on a technical level but much simpler on a social level.

Isn't there a service for this stuff?
Where's our wheelchair or braille?
(I'm so dehydrated.)
Just had to say goodbye to a cucumber from my fridge earlier... mood.
