Anyone else watch #TheBoys? The season finale was a doozy and hits too goddamn close to home.

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

I have watched too much #Survivor in my life. It’s a guilty pleasure 🫣. But learning I have #adhd made me realize that I would SUCK at it cuz I can’t play the social game. But how would Survivor go if ALL contestants were #neurodiverse? What if everyone took things literally, had trouble lying, & couldn’t read social cues? There’d be less conniving, less of the stuff the show loves to highlight. But I think there’d be more real cooperation & stuff. It could be quite interesting.

It’s so irritating when you ask a question online and people answer questions you didn’t even ask. I thought about adding ‘If you don’t have an answer to the actual question asked please feel free to not reply’ but I thought that sounded a little douchey. But a little douchiness would have avoided future me’s irritation. #PetPeeves #SocialMedia

As is common with folks who have adhd, I find meditation to be extremely challenging. But this short segment by Andrew Huberman makes me a bit more intrigued than the usual ‘don’t think about anything’ that meditation seems to be. The idea of ‘watching’ my thoughts & feelings go makes more sense than what I’ve ready on how to meditate before (maybe I read just that and glossed over it).

A lot of Claire Paniccia’s marketing advice resonates with me because her thing is helping neurodiverse entrepreneurs. As one of her target audience, I’ve tried a lot of Conventional Marketing Wisdom that (surprise) failed and (no surprise) just added to the reasons I have to self-flagellate while making connecting with people feel more like a chore than an interesting or fun thing to do. This bit from her latest newsletter (the image) hits the spot. The idea that I don’t text a friend at a specific time every week is so common sense yet . I’d much rather have a friend-like relationship with people interested in my efforts than be a robotic provider of content. If you dig this, go check her out. She’s the only newsletter I subscribe to that I actually read. ClairaPaniccia.com

The seasons in North Carolina
- Tree pollen: March-May

- Weed pollen: August-October

Beneath the text is a simple table with each column as a month and each row as Tree, Grass, or Weed. There are X's matching the months where each type of pollen is prevalent.
Just finished #debriefing myself after my trip to the allergist and this is part of my #notes. I’ve been an inveterate note-taker for years and discovered #PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) last year while searching for #ADHD oriented methods of organization & productivity. That led me to the amazing #Obsidian app (which is shockingly free for being fully featured), which took my note-taking to another level. I do gain some satisfaction from creating informative visuals 🙂

White noise & ADHD
It’s not coincidental that one of my go tos for getting work done is listening to #DubTechno – a steady driving beat, no vocals, lots of staticky noise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychiatry-and-sleep/202305/adhd-white-noise-could-be-an-alternative-to-medication #ADHD #ADHDer #AdultADHD #ADHDTips #POSSE
