Re: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Bahaha yes I work from home @ArraDreaming but LOL just picturing me painting my nails in the office and talking about 'my kitties' that is hilarious

 

Aww that's tough @Glisten I'm so sorry. And you're right, if studying something I actually have an interest in, I thrive! But doing maths? Not so much 😅

Re: Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

@Jynx  What about practical math. For example, when I’m doing woodwork, I don’t have to calculate certain measurements, because I already know the answer. I don’t think about the answer, I just know it.

I don’t know why. My brain just works that way.

So try not thinking about the math. Just pick the number that comes to mind. It’s probably correct.

@Glisten 

I grew up studying pure maths at uni, but I hated the institution. A couple years after that I read a book called Chaos Theory: Making a New Science by James Gleick and it changed the way the logic worked in my head, and now linear calculations are beyond my scope of what is actually normal.

@deshift  it’s always nice to discover how our brain works. Makes life easier.

@Glisten I mean, I perfomed pretty well in maths at school, it's more about my ability to sustain my focus on a subject that was quite dull. History was even worse. Like I loved learning about ancient cultures and that kind of thing, but memorising dates and such? Yuck. 

 

Also you just reminded me of this meme haha:

@Jynx  some Primary & High Schools have evolved little from the first concept of free education. 
Others have embraced students immediate family and community with a view of lifelong learning.

Dates - is no way to teach history.

His-Story - It is the story of humankind.

Our relationship with our world.

Our sameness.

I am struggling hard dealing with oncology unit at the hospital because they expect me to be neurotypical and I'm an emotionally spergy mess so they treat me like shit
