Self-Assessment

Self-tests are not intended to diagnose or to replace the care of a health care professional.

But I think they are an excellent place to start, and much more instructive than quizzes such as "which pokemon are you?" (which is also not diagnostic or intended to replace the care of a pokemon-training professional.)

• Psych Central ADHD Quiz — a good self-assessment
• Self Test for Women and Girls

Cartoons

My favorite thing in the ADHD-i community is the cartoons!

Some artists I love:

• Dani Donovan: ADHD Explained using comics — Start Here If You Are New (great twitter thread)
• Dani Donovan's Website
• ADHD-Alien -- all comics in one twitter thread
• ADHD-Alien's website
• Invisible Bread

Some examples:

They might move slowly as their brain is so active

Reading

Books

It has come to my attention that buying books, and reading books, are two separate, entirely unrelated hobbies

Paraphrased from here

(In the quote above you can also substitute in any hobby related buying: guitars, bicycles, looms, art supplies, stationery, you name it)

Note you may have more success getting through audiobooks than physical books

• Book: Delivered from Distraction
• Book: Finally Focused
