People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I have a special needs sibling, and I was always overlooked growing up because I was "gifted" and didn't need hand holding.

Boy, oh boy, did I ever start realizing my "weirdness" growing up was Aud-ADD. I was this meme when I started finding communities online talking about symptoms of each and slowly realizing I probably needed just as much help as my sibling did. Also, realizing ADHD and ADD inattentive were 2 different things. I have learned with trial by fire how to cope and mask and work through my specific issues, but I have also told myself that next year is when I want to get officially diagnosed and potentially medicated for the ADD.

Next year and tomorrow are when I plan on doing just about everything.

Oh your not wrong, that's the ADD kicking in. I said the same thing last year, but to add to my list of doctor things, I really need to get my migraines in check so my future neurologist is probably going to love me as a patient next year trying to get that AND the ADD on the right track.

Just remember: tomorrow's another day (to get today's things done).

You're still a bit confused. The term "ADD" isn't used anymore. We have "Hyperactive ADHD", and "Inattentive ADHD" (personally I have the latter).
