arent you suppose to buy something after losing it? eating out is not allowed for nonadhd guys? is this suppose to be a meme or something?
Neurotypical people don’t lose things as often. And when they do, they often remember where they misplaced it by retracing their steps.
Neurotypical people have their shit together so they find time and energy for cooking meals more often than people with ADHD.
I definitely find myself in all of these, except for the one in the middle of the last row.
i get it now. the picture oversimplified this.
Just obsess over making everything yourself for your hobbies and they cost a lot less. Shit now I need more tools.
*well-off ADHD tax.
I’m not too fond of calling this a ‘tax’. Tax money goes to funding actually useful things. Conservatives want you to think that giving money to the government and throwing it down the toilet are the same thing.
Good point. What I wonder what word would fit better: Fees, dues, expenses, charges, bills
Copays and deductibles
Just cost? It’s what it is. The cost of having adhd
Extra charges, because that is what those are.
I make it a rule to only start inexpensive hobbies.
Once they have progressed, and I’m getting good at it, they turn to expensive hobbies.
This triggers the end of the hobby cycle and a new hobby is targeted.
I just started magic the gathering as a hobby, lol
My wallet feels this.
Proxies. I have several full decks that are all fake cards printed from high quality proxy printing sites, ~$30-40 per 100 card commander deck, not sure how tariffs changed the cost, haven’t ordered recently, but it was not a US based site. Obviously not legal in competitive play, but I only play casual amongst friends
Cheaper option: invent a time machine. Go back 30 years. Buy up all of the cardboard with the word Mox on them, and everything with a black border. Travel back to 2025. Sell cardboard and retire!
washing clothes twice
Ha. I’m lucky if I remember to wash them once!
Yk, this is the ONE time living in the ass end of nowhere has been good for my wallet.
I’ve wanted to paint minis for a while now, and the one mini I got is a small blueberry I haven’t even painted because I’d need to buy the tools and paints, which aren’t sold here.
If I were stateside I’d be drowning in orc and salamander minis. Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.

I feel personally attacked

Oof, isn’t airsoft a money sink as well?

Oh, I had thought it would’ve been expensive as hell. Guess that it comes down to how built up you have your kit, I guess.
I’m a 5/9
I’m not diagnosed and I’m 9/9
These all hit home 😳
Everyone forgets shit. Get over yourself.
Placing all the things you personally forget in an ADHD box does not in any way absolve you.
Same way an autistic asshole is still just an asshole who happens to be autistic, one is not caused by the other.

Fuck off. This community literally has just the one rule.
Yeah everyone forgets things but how many people have ever had their car repossessed while also having enough money to pay off the whole loan because the crappy bank that gave the best interest rate doesn’t have a convenient autopay system?
I don’t think people are thinking of absolution when they recognize these kinds of things are part of their disorder. It’s commiserating with your fellow sufferers on the absurd, counterintuitive, and inconsistent nature of the damn thing.
Your bank almost certainly has a way to mail checks on a schedule.
Thanks for sharing but there is no need to help solution this example that happened more than a decade ago.
The original poster of this comment chain said something minimizing the severity and impact ADHD can have in a person’s life to the effect of “everyone forgets things, get over yourself”
My comment explains that there is a casual level of forgetful and an ADHD level of self sabotaging forgetful which is one of the things that makes it a disorder and not just a person who is a little careless.
Except that “forgetting things” is the most salient symptom of ADHD, while “being an asshole” is nowhere near the autism spectrum.
Right? “Forgetting things” is one thing…but whenever I have a home project I spend more time looking for my hammer multiple times than I do actually working. As an example.
I have 5 hammers, 2 identical drills, and 4 box cutters because of this.
I have some 20 pair of scissors for the same reason.
I don’t even want to know how many screwdrivers I’ll find when I pack my shit to move.
Object permanence is a big problem. A big expensive problem. I can set something down right in front of myself and lose it basically immediately.
spends
\sigh
Luckily my wife pays the bills in the house or I be a mess.
This is me too. I don’t think I could survive on my own.
I’m pretty good at making money tho. I’m even good at investing. But paying a simple bill requires 2 doses of Ritalin
Autopay is the way.
uhhh. >_> who should I talk to about getting diagnosed?
Oh hey, I do all of these on a regular basis. And regularly got in trouble as a kid for being forgetful, despite the fact that I was a smart kid with good grades. Maybe I should talk to a doc…
Get disposable virtual credit cards.
I just delete my credit card right after I sign up, and then I don’t have to remember anything.
It’s also much easier to unsubscribe you use a new card for each merchant, and if you no longer want to use amazon just delere the card. No need to go jump through 10x hoops to cancel
