I think some new memoirists want to be detectives first. Who. Where. When. Right? Readers are seeking your FEELINGS, not just your data.

Future memoirists, you've imagined the acknowledgements page in your book. Crediting all the people who've made a difference in your life story is cool. Good idea. Better idea? Practice by thanking them NOW.

Kind Walmart checker today took my bag and put it in my cart. "Thank you!" I gushed. "No problem!" she answered. "We wouldn't want you to forget them, would we?" I laughed on my way to the parking lot. Is my AuDHD forgetful fame spreading?

Hey, Bluesky. My sky is blue right now. I have to go soak up some vitamin D. See you Monday.

Doomscrolling social media is bad enough. Don't suffer more by tallying up the number of AuDHD potholes that disrupted your daily journey.

I asked Meta AI how George Washington might have blended in at a "No Kings" protest. The lesson: blending in is tough. Stand out like you mean it!

Come on, CNN. You cling to the facade of giving equal time to all sides (gag). This Trumpian king could march about and say "Blah blah blah" for the reporters!

AuDHD writers, no need to isolate yourself this weekend. A beautiful day. Fun you could do outdoors? Here's an idea: don't feel under "home arrest." Write down your idea before you go out for grown-up recess. Then, return and say, "We rejoin our regularly-scheduled program, already in progress."

My best friend just sat down beside my chair. "Tell them from us that we care. "Tell them to never stop trying. "And tell them they are not alone." A message from PennyTheCat

One P.S. about neurotypical babblers: Try raising a finger (no, not THAT finger) to signal you want a turn to talk. A single finger hints you may have ONE sentence or topic. If that doesn't work, give them the STOP sign. Tell it to the hand, normie! (Unsplash image by Photo by Ryan Irizarry)

Hey, AuDHD friends: Remember that being louder or blurting more words per minute doesn't make someone more right. Say what you can (if anything) then walk away. Nothing like humbling a normie windbag to start the week! #AuDHD

Gorgeous. Your artworks are like a time machine. Please, make some more!

If you pronounced the letters "AuDHD" as words, you might say "Odd hood." I asked Meta AI to illustrate what an "Odd hood" might look like. What better model than Honest Abe?

Try relating to everything. Yes, talk to objects. Upon recovering your once-missing car keys, don't despair. Simply ask the keyring, "What happened to you? Do you have ADHD, too? Let me help!" #AuDHD #memoir

Have you ever looked at a cat or dog (from your family) and asked them, "Are you autistic, ADHD or both?"

AuDHD question: Do you remember how much fun you had as an elementary schooler? Acting "grown up" can be highly overrated. #AuDHD

"Asking for a friend" has to be one of the most comforting, corny comments ever. Sure you are... But if that makes you feel better, tell us again. #AuDHD

AuDHDers, ever feel like you can't find your "off" button when you start babbling? The listener gives a glassy-eyed blank stare. Or, he'll check his watch. You don't have to solo in a chat.. Ask a question. Then, answer their reply. Or, answer your own question. Flex your neurodivergence!

My AUDHD overthinking outshone the pound of strawberries I gobbled for dinner. I looked in the mirror after dinner. Did the sun give me freckles? Or, did I have an allergic reaction? Conspiracy theories sprouted. Worry. Doubt. Then, I brushed off my face. Sticky, scary berry seeds. Cured!

My AuDHD mishaps have never been reported as "breaking news" on CNN. Yet. What I feel was a "major story" slips the mind of the rest of the world in minutes!

Have you ever noticed how wall calendars are of little use to an AuDHD person who wakes up and can't choose what DAY it should be?
