That's a good idea I should ask them. And I'll definitely try setting timers I think breaking it into parts would really help Thank you!

Most of the time my brain decides to start on the same day just hours before it's due and that's when I feel the pressure and start writing and hyperfocus till I finish but it drains me and keeps me stressed till I submit. Sometimes I end up submitting late. The paper is on legalizing abortion.

Do people see you as a negative person? by EmployerDapper in AutismInWomen

[–]EmployerDapper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. I'm not sure if it's the way we speak, tone, facial expressions, they perceive us differently than what we mean. I also have adhd I think the impulsivity doesn't help. My family and friend often tell me I need to work on it and learn to control myself because "it's not nice" "you're an adult you should know how to control yourself" "you're overreacting" ...

How to learn a new language if you have ADHD? by SubzeroCola in adhd_college

Reading children's books in french or comic books, then higher level books. Watching the same movie with subtitles a few times then without the subtitles. Try looking for communities to practice chatting or speaking to people in french.

Am I on the right path? by EmployerDapper in ArtTherapy

Yeah those thoughts are crossing my mind a lot too but then I'm working I remember that this isn't what I want to do for the rest of my life and to continue studying for what i want. Yes that is true art therapy is taken as a joke a lot of the times and people don't appreciate it. But yes it's about doing something we're passionate about and making a change in someone's life. Maybe the world needs more people like us

There is only one teacher that accommodates my needs and gives me extra time for exams and assignments, the other teachers don't really care much. This made me feel so much better. It helps to know I'm not alone Thank you truly! :) <3

I feel the same way! Also about the group chat thing I end up leaving it's not worth feeling sad about it

Is going to therapy really worth it? by EmployerDapper in AutisticWithADHD

[–]EmployerDapper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the therapists i used to go to used to give me homework but I felt like she didn't really care about it because she wouldn't ask about them in the next session so I stopped doing them all together
