🧵Thread about #ADHD with text and pictures from an #ActuallyAutistic person who asked to remain anonymous. #AuDHD
"I want to talk about the difference that stimulant medication makes to me."
"I changed my diet and took supplements and even HRT, but I was always tired and couldn't get started on anything."
"This was my desk, for months. I wanted it tidy, but I couldn't tidy it." 
"Being surrounded by clutter made me despondent, zapping even the little energy and motivation I had."
"It was hard to open my cupboards to put things away, because of all the stuff on the floor. This picture doesn't even show it at its worst."
"Today I took stimulant medication. Look at what I achieved within minutes. I couldn't do this for months. I know it is not perfect, but it's improved and more liveable."
"My desk, before and after stimulant medication." #ADHD

"I have been on stimulants before, and I had to stop due to side effects. I also discovered that I had many untreated health problems."
"It was only recently that I heard of a new stimulant, and I decided to try it."
"The area next to my bed, before and after stimulant medication. I know it looks like an easy thing to tidy, but I was unable to initiate this for months. For some of us, #ADHD is much more of a disability than many people realise."
"My bed before and after stimulant medication. In the past, I just put all this stuff on the floor at night. Today I put it into the cupboard." #ADHD
