Jerry Mander for congress in 2028 ? And you thought George Santos was fun, this would be much better as he didn’t have much talent.

It's interesting how many different brands of ADHD there are. I startle easily as well, but I don't know that it's due to hyperfocus as sometimes I'll get startled even when I'm anticipating it, it's why I mostly abstain from using timers and alarms. I've also noticed that my interest in something doesn't keep me from getting distracted from it. I was at a comedy show last year and the venue had a slideshow playing during the performance; even though I was watching one of my favorite comedians do a fantastic set I still couldn't help but glance over at the screens every 5-10 seconds and it drove me insane!

I want funny stories from you. Whatever you do, it should be your humor, that’s why I’m here. I got enough serious shit in my life so when I come here, I wanna laugh (I’ve been pretty pissed watching weekly Skews because Mark depresses the fuck out of me!).

Along with his diagnosis of a nonverbal learning disorder, which is on the spectrum, my son David was diagnosed with ADD and was on Concerta for about 10 years.

When his father died in 2020 and we were cleaning out his home, we found bottles and bottles of Concerta that his father never actually gave him so he was really only on it about half the time when he was in my home.

He is a second year at SF State and doing pretty well. His GPA is better than mine was when I was a second year in college!

You do you, Corey. You be you. We love you just the way you are.

TikTok made me realize I am neurospicy adhd or something…I startle SO easily (but not scared of anything) My husband starts announcing his presence three rooms away…”I’m coming up the stairs! I’m approaching your office. I’m not trying to startle you!” And of course I still jump scare at the sound of his announcement. 🤣

If someone drops something or makes a sudden loud sound? I scream like a fucking lady panther.

Do SCI/FI! You've got the congresswoman who thinks there are "Jewish Space Lasers" so I think this would be a natural direction for you. 😅

"Designated Survivor", every Senator and Congressman/woman is wiped out in a terrorist attack at the Capitol. But instead of Kiefer Sutherland, the Presidency goes to the junior representative from the State of Georgia, Mr. Jerry Mander, who was taking a dump during the State of the Union.

Before I 'accepted' my kiddo's ADD dx I had no idea about hyperfocus. After I educated myself (and was diagnosed myself!) I realized, oh yeah, that's what that's all about.
