are those a viable option? seems they'd be super expensive, limited availability (don't think i've ever seen one in real life, imagine only super wealthy people have them right now?), limited styles, etc.

they seem so neat tho. i just haven't tracked what's going on with that tech since before the pandemic 😅

yeah i was just recently diagnosed at 37. learning so much about it, a lot of stuff makes a lot more sense now 😅 my symptoms weren't terribly obvious either, or in the classic sense of what most people (myself included) traditionally think of as ADHD. i just suddenly had a lot of friends getting diagnosed, explaining their symptoms to me, and thinking "wait that's not normal??" 😅 turns out i had kept the company of people that are a lot like me, which now i realize is probably super common.

that's what i was thinking. my whole life i've been called lazy and i never really understood why i simply couldn't until i got a diagnosis and read about the spectrum of ADHD symptoms. "just make yourself do things" is the most unhelpful advice and is usually given by people trying to feel good about themselves like they're fuckin Tony Robbins rather than actually be helpful/encouraging.
