So, it turns out I'm ADHD

I have mixed-type ADHD.
One of the most important skills to drill into an ADHD psyche is scheduling and task-lists help. Timers as well. Personal experience: it's something that took me years to get used to because of how unintuitive structure seems, but it has helped me immensely.

Personal experience in relation to forums: One of the big side effects for me that manifest in my forum writing are splitting off onto a near off-topic tangent. And that's because my mind will often fill up with new information and I'll literally lose track of what I was talking about in the first place. The reason why ADHD people, of my sort, have such poor working memories is because of dozens of impulsive thoughts all the time; working memory fills up, and suddenly I have no idea that I left my keys on the ledge around the corner in the basement.

On the bright side, everyone has impaired executive function now, and I think ADHD people have superior compensatory strategies. At least that's what I've been finding.

Yeah I am also the combined/mixed type.

Do you take any medication for it, or are you just doing it raw?
