Same here. Started meds about a month ago and this hits home. I can finally focus.

Right?? Don't you just feel like equal parts cheated & like a real non lazy person for once? 😂

That bottom right panel about telling my parents hits hard. My mom was silent and my dad said something to the effect of “we never noticed anything”. Yea, that’s exactly the point! I listed a few examples from my childhood and they didn’t seem to care/believe it was related. 🙄🤦‍♂️

I'm only in the ADD camp here, but my entire school experience can be summed up as the following.

Focusing so hard on paying attention to the lesson that I've now missed the entire lesson because I was so distracted by the thought of paying close attention.

This continued to snowball until I could no longer hope to learn the current material, as I had at this point missed too many of the fundamental steps and/or formulae required to understand it in the first place. So now, instead of worrying about it, I'd look for the nearest friend and flash page numbers at him from the text book that contained hilarious stock images. By the end of class we had both missed the lesson entirely.

I can relate to many ADHD memes, but I was always very good at school stuff. I always paid attention as it was interesting enough. However, the amount of times I have been called lazy. I remember one time I had to paint over my room, so I moved the furniture in tbe middle of the room, covered it with foil and let it sit like this for couple of days. Then I started playing games on computer under the igelit foil in the middle of the room. This went on for couple of weeks until I finally painted the room, don't remember the reason sadly.

Lol my parents have said before that kids can't get stressed, only parents can.
