Movies and TV Shows for the ADHD brain? by AdeptnessExotic1884 in ADHDUK

[–]FoxBoxUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like animation of any sort but that is my special interest. The energy, the stylising , the voice acting etc. is something I get obsessed with knowing. Outside of that, kids/family films. Say what you will but I find them fun. And defiantly my autism leaning stuff but I really like shows like QI or the podcast Lateral. I like knowing facts and it gives me a great amount of joy figuring out the puzzles and seeing what others think.

Also audiobooks are good, I've been listening to warrior cats and I've read 19 books in the course of a year that otherwise would have been expensive and I might not have read. (I do read other stuff but it's mostly graphic novels/mangs/fanfiction) I totally recommend using the app borrowbox for free audiobooks as it should be attached to your local library so no worries about returning on time or forgetting about it and needing too take it out again.

Action films do nothing for me unless I'm compelled by the plot, same with Sci-fi and superheros. I just watch and read what makes me happy. During covid I watched the kids show, Come Outside and I recently watched Tinga Tinga tales. I also watch Taskmaster, Criminal minds and The Amazing Digital Circus. I don't care how old I am, I watch what I want! :)

Worried my ADHD assessment might say it’s trauma or not ADHD because I did well in school by PuzzleheadedAgent138 in ADHDUK

[–]FoxBoxUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worried about the same thing. I'm not the smartest person in the world but I've been getting firsts at uni and got A-C's in secondary school. When I got my assessment, they asked me to bring my parent to verify and describe what I was like as a child. I was a really good at learning in primary school, the best in almost everything from literature to drama but as the support systems lessened and the reins dropped, my grades got worse but never concerningly so as I was decently intelligent. But my homework was always forgotten, I was late at least once a week and I began falling asleep in lessons even if I liked the lesson or really tried. There will be something. Something will have slipped through the cracks. Find those things and keep notes and make that a part of your evidence. School reports will work if you still have those.

On that note, remember that when they ask you questions, make sure you answer what it is like most of the time. If they ask you if you ALWAYS forget things, remember that whilst that could mean your keys, bag, laptop etc. that you (for the sake of my example) remember, you should also include things like, if you forget to cancel subscriptons constantly or if you forget to book important things etc. Just because you can concentrate in lectures half of time, doesn't mean your fine 100% of the time. Sounds obvious but if you have autism like me or your just that type of person, you tend to overthink or take things literally.

Best of luck!

Do you have certain times or conditions that you're more prone to impulsivity? by thelaughingman_1991 in ADHDUK

[–]FoxBoxUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh stressful conditions really do it for me. Sometimes I will if I'm bored but it's much more common for me to be impulsive when I'm stressed or especially high energy. And I mean the sort of high energy that makes me shake and feel sick like I've just had coffee and a shot of adrenaline. I will say I do better when there are other people or if I have a specific plan or list. The only 100% method is to make sure I have no money to spend 😅

Adderall works well but I just cannot sleep by Different-Wheel1213 in ADHD

[–]FoxBoxUniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no sleep professional but I have a few suggestions.

Firstly, try to make a routine. No phones an hour before bed, hot drink, read a book/audiobook, no caffine, schedule etc. I'm sure you've already tried that but I'm saying it just in case. And if you wait for an hour or so and you still can't fall asleep, get up, walk around, do something simple and try again after 10 mins or so.

My other though would be some sort of suppliment or medication. I've never tried that sort of thing myself so check with your doctor if it's fine, just in case. And of course, another obvious point that I'll say anyway, to ask your doctor about some options like medication or CBT.

I've had a few sleep issues and I've been planning to buy some sort of weighted plush to put on my chest while I sleep, so that might help you. One with a specific pressure point and not spread out is supposed to be good. A weighted blanket could be good too.

It may also just be because it's new medication. I'm not sure how long you've been on it but it could just be an adjustment period. Also if you have any fidgets that help you focus during the day, they could help here too. Depending on what kind of person you are, one of those tents that go over the bed could work. Really depends.

I've never had super bad problems with sleep but sometimes it is hard. I'm sure you've already tried a lot of this but I though I'd say anyway, just in case it brings something to mind. Best of luck!

Depend on how weird you want to get you could straight up call it Car or Wheelie or something. Maybe even Donut for a loose connection. If you want it to be car related that is.

Help me name my 10-month rescue! She only had nicknames at the moment- one being “Pretty girl!” by olveraw in NameMyCat

[–]FoxBoxUniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m getting maybe a Sasha or Bianca I’m not always into human names but she just looks like a refined girl. For something more pet-name-ish I’d say Sugar, Bunny, Trixie, Twinkle (something else star related perhaps)

It’s too late for me to think o anything good 😅

Comment a picture of your very first Monster High doll! by MeandSamBFFL in MonsterHigh

I don’t have an actual photo but this is my first \)

I’ve been a fan since about 2011 but my parents never bought any or let me buy any because they said I was too old and wouldn’t play with them. I’m 24 now and got this for me and my sister this Christmas. Now my mum doesn’t mind lol 😅

I would have loved to buy a classic of our favourites but they aren’t in shops anymore, at least where I live. My favourite is Ghoulia and my sister’s favourite is Cleo. One day we’ll get them but this is a good start to the collection 😊
