This is the best description of ADHD I have ever heard. I feel a need to send this to some colleagues who keep suggesting, "Just divide it up and do it a little bit at a time. She described me so well!

@antonyjh1234 13 күн бұрын

Yes but the year long credit i had that I used on the last day, having to be on the phone for an hour and a half because it wouldn't apply automatically, because it was the last day, how am i supposed to divide that up? I left myself six hours, ok four because of the time difference, but still, isn't that plenty of time?

@AshArAis 10 күн бұрын

Tasks could be divided fractally.... doesn't help. It's like, what should I do slapdash, and what should I go microscopic on?

To me she explained society, keep it fun with no responsibilities and everything will be fine. Added : It makes you wonder though if we'd have been able to keep it fun what society would be like. She was lucky or the rest of us unlucky she was allowed to be her as a child at school. As a kid we would have got that beaten out of us.

So brilliantly described what ADHD is like. I suffer from that really badly, though I don't have the hyperactivity part of it. I just can't get things started, even facing serious consequences if I don't do it. My consciousness says "Just do it!" but the rest of my brain doesn't take notice and just does other things instead. If you don't suffer from it, you likely can't imagine what it's like, and how debilitating it is. Unfortunately, I don't have a job where it is an asset, so I struggle every day.

On older ships, the wheelhouse was where the ship's wheel (for steering) was housed. So if the Captain was in the (his) wheelhouse he was in control of the ship and ready to respond to any navigational challenges. Hence if something is in your wheelhouse it's something you're familiar with and know how to handle...

Oh Aisling. I loved you before - one of the funniest people telling stories but even more so hearing about your experience of ADHD. I’m so sorry that you have struggled with aspects of it. I’m always on the look out for positive role models for my son, so deepest, deepest thanks for sharing. I’m not diagnosed but suspect I have ADHD, the description of being bored being like grief hit hard, having to pretend I need the loo to get away from something boring me to death & the physical discomfort from boredom. On a side note, I’m new to seeing you act & you’re an absolute delight.

My wife and youngest son are ADHD to the max. As an "outsider", you just have to accept it and deal with it. We all have our own challenges. Love and understanding are the keys. Wheelhouse is the cabin on a boat where the "steering wheel" is.

@mattkinsella9856 15 күн бұрын

Thank you for saying this. I have ADHD and the thing that gives me the most anxiety is the constant worry I'm letting down my wife and kids or annoying them in some way or if they would think I'm unreliable and forgetful. It's a constant stress. I work hard (but erratically) and I earn good money but I know my ADHD holds me back and I'm fully aware that being around me is probably infuriating at times. Knowing my wife and girls are forgiving and understanding has really helped me so I can put that anxiety aside and give that energy to more positive things.

These sort of comments are pointless. Why do women need to have this kind of superficial comment made about them at all and worse still by other women?. I don't really care if you are a male or female saying it but it's just shallow and it's a good part of why it can be frustrating for a female to need to deal with it for apparently no reason whatsoever. I mean, why would you feel the need to go on and comment about someone's appearance at all. Legit, take a minute and think to yourself why you do it.

Love the ADHDness talk, may show it to my Mom to explain bits of myself, and things she does that doesn't realise. The frequent unasked for "advice" that ignores the specifics do get a little old. Also, in Canada here, and the US, a Canadian tux is wearing denim trousers ("jeans") with a jean jacket. I frequently wear a denim kilt with my jean jacket. Need a nice denim shirt like yours, they look good on both of you! A wheel house is a type of Scottish structure, like a primitive type of castle, as I recall related to the earlier broch.

My problem with Aisling is that she is both a very good actor and a very funny comedian. But, frankly, we have lots of good actors and precious few actually funny comedians which means I value that in her more. I see her in a drama and I keep wanting her to break the fourth wall and make snide comments.

@Team_Tennant 16 күн бұрын

Aisling is one of the most hilarious and natural performers out there. Damn she's witty!! More than that, her explanation of ADHD is incredibly concise and real. I'm sorry she suffers the self-esteem consequences of not getting 'that thing' done. I had just been in a state of genuine despair tonight because I was SO bored and couldn't find anything to do or watch that felt **right**. Her humour always gives ALL the dopamine (the best episodes of QI were when she was a guest! - you too Rob, but female performers need more repping!)

@dragonabsurda 12 күн бұрын

For decades before I was diagnosed, I would tell people that boredom feels like death. They'd dismissively chuckle, 'oh ha ha, yes so terrible,' while treating me like I was just being quirky. And I'd laugh along while internalizing the idea that I'm ridiculously hyperbolic and then I'd do my damnest to undermine, ignore and cover up my internal responses to pretty much everything. Which lead to a deep-seated shame of myself as a human being precisely because I needed to hide myself in order to seem like a properly functioning adult, while simultaneously failing to keep up the charade convincingly, consistently or for very long.

These sort of comments are just pointless. Treat a person as you would normally not based on being male or female. If you wouldn't say it to a male then don't say it to a female. I doubt she'd want you going on about her being sexy and i guarantee you that if you ever had the nerve to say it to her face (which you wouldn't because it's obviously a VERY awkward thing to say) she'd likely either tell you it's inappropriate or smile and move away quickly out of politeness.
