The ironic part of trying to get a diagnosis for ADHD is that I have to focus long enough on the task of finding a psychiatrist/psychologist to get the diagnosis, but it's kind of tedious task, and I'm getting easily distracted.

But also pie are round.

And I think that’s beautiful.

Yesterday, I took an online version of the Adult ADHD screener (Self Report Scale, aka ASRS-v1.1).

It said that I show a high consistency in my scores for inattentive ADHD, and that I have a strong interest-driven focus pattern.

None of this was at all a surprise to me. I've been suspecting that I have ADHD for some time, but since this is a self-screener, it's not surprising that it shows the exact results that I expected to get, based on what I've seen in myself.

But I've been meaning to get a proper assessment for some time. Getting an official diagnosis might help me. I've got three kids with ADHD, so me having it would be no surprise. And getting this unofficial assessment is certainly encouraging me to get a proper assessment from a psychologist.

But now, I'm starting to question stuff about myself. If I start my day with a caffeinated beverage, am I self-medicating as a substitute for something like Adderall? When my mind starts to wander, am I bored, or is it my ADHD, or both?

Jane Fonda has relaunched the "Committee for Free Speech", a group first co-organized by her father, Henry Fonda, during the McCarthy era in protest to government censorship.

This is in response to "the onslaught of attacks on free speech from the current administration."

Here's a small life hack. Whenever you create a new account, use "incorrect" as your password. That way, if you forgot your password and enter it wrong, the app will just tell you "Your password is incorrect"
