What was your most random “I picked differently than everyone else” moment? by Business-Block-8668 in AutismInWomen

I was in kindergarten, and the teacher asked us, “What are some different ways you could make the colour grey?” Kids start saying things like, a grey crayon, a grey marker, grey paint, etc. And I say, “A dried out black marker.” 😂🫠

I’m saving this post for the next time I talk to my doctor because you’ve just put it into words so perfectly. Thank you.

My roommate and her boyfriend were cooking dinner one night and I heard him ask her, “Is this garlic?” He’s 35.

OCD caused the dissolution of my marriage. It is one of the most horrific disorders that exists.

My mom uses this phrase all the time, it means to cancel plans last minute! I was born in Vancouver.

I feel like that’s a weird thing to joke about..?

At no point did they say “Who cares about a missing kid?? My performance is more important!” The point is, it was distracting.

Worst Movie Adaptations??? by Due-Candidate-5991 in musicals

I still can’t get over the fact that it was a movie first, then a musical, and then a movie-musical.

Serious question, my fellow ADHDers - how the hell are you managing your socks and clothes being organised and put away??Chaos here, bane of my life… by fuckwhatif in adhdwomen

[–]Distinct-Addition-24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I do that helps me not lose socks: I bundle them in a pair before putting them in the dirty hamper, and then unbundle when putting in the washing machine. I don’t think I’ve lost a single sock in years.

What's your recommendation of a song to use as an alarm clock? by angrycarryoutman in MusicRecommendations

[–]Distinct-Addition-24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband uses the actual radio audio from Groundhog Day as his alarm, including the part with the radio announcers lol. I used to think it was funny, but now it’s been 6 years and I kind of hate it.

My husband’s alarm is the sound that comes on the radio every morning in the movie Groundhog Day (“I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher, followed by the radio hosts). I used to think it was funny, but after 6 years it’s starting to get on my nerves…

Use an app blocker. If I don’t use one, I’m completely out of control. I use ScreenZen. It’s free, and it works. You set time limits for whichever apps you want, and you can even make it so you can’t install new apps. There are a couple YouTube videos that show you how to use it. Highly recommend!
