    Menschen mit ADHS haben Schwierigkeiten mit zielgerichtetem Verhalten und kämpfen mit Reaktionshemmung, also der Fähigkeit, eine unangemessene Handlung zu stoppen, sobald sie den Drang dazu verspüren. Sie erleben eine Störung in der Art und Weise, wie ihr Gehirn bewusste Selbstkontrolle und automatisches Gewohnheitslernen in Einklang bringt.

      People with elevated levels of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder traits experience a disruption in the way their brains balance deliberate self-control and automatic habit learning. A recent behavioral experiment found that while weakened mental restraint usually enhances a person’s ability to unconsciously pick up on hidden patterns, this compensatory advantage vanishes in individuals with a high prevalence of ADHD-like symptoms. The research was published in the [*Journal of Attention Disorders*](https://doi.org/10.1177/10870547261432424).

      Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is frequently characterized by difficulties with goal-directed behavior. A key component of this behavioral struggle is response inhibition. Response inhibition is the psychological ability to stop an inappropriate action once a person feels the initial urge to do it.

      Did they break down the 3 categories of ADHD (Hyperactive Combined, and Inattentive), effect the results and how this could also effect those with AuDHD (those with Autism and ADHD)

      Ooh yeah I feel that. Once I have the thought „I could eat this whole bag of potato chips“ it’s rare that I don’t go ahead and do it.

      We get it, people with ADHD are f*cked

      But seriously, I haven’t yet seen a single article with something positive about ADHD

      I can complete a goal. It’s just either got to be a competition, under a strick deadline that’s going to expire within the hour, be shamed into it, or be part of something I’ve already been doing while I’m still motivated.

      Man playing fighting games and any other micro-focused game a lot of the times I feel like I have a learning disability that I would explain exactly like this.

      I know how to play, I know what I want to do, but it’s as if my brain is acting before I can think by reacting to stimuli. Then I proceed to get frustrated as what I am thinking I should do does not happen, a lot of the time doing something I wanted to do 3 seconds ago. And this only really gets improved if I dump hundreds and hundreds of hours into the games by teaching my brain which stimuli to reply to with what. That works a bit but I wish I could just think and do instead of reacting before thinking and surprising myself even

      I relate to all of this so much. I don’t have ADHD, though. Anyone else??

      For myself when I got diagnosed and medicated I realized a lot of these issues were caused by my ability to perceive time. Essentially I could either exist in the present or the distant future. I procrastinated heavily and eventually the distant future became the immediate so everything was a complete fire. Eventually I could only take action when things were pressing. I would then be burned out from pushing myself too hard and would need to recuperate. This then led into the next fire.

      When I incorporated medication into my day-to-day, I could effectively create plans around my time and could hold mental space for the things that needed to happen within the next week. So instead of forcing 8 hours of work into the due date I can now take small bites. I also reduced my dopamine seeking behaviours so that I wasn’t procrastinating on taking care of my basic needs.

      Oh this is the science sub, DANG.

      Every time I see these ADHD „facts“ i become like the Leo meme, catching myself before I say something has been my toughest thing to overcome, but generally I only get loose with people I legit trust, I usually let them start it first, and then the floodgates happen after that.

      I once sprayed my friend in the face with air freshener because I thought it’d be a good prank. He was no longer my friend after that incident.

      If I say I’ll do something, I’ll do it…. I don’t need reminding *every 6 months*.

      I can’t complete a goal. I’ll make some minimal, token efforts at the beginning, ignore it for a while, panic with a flurry of activity at the end, miss the deadline, then try to finish it anyways. I’m surrounded by the detritus of half-finished projects that have been left to gather dust. I am irrationally satisfied with a closet rod and shelf that I hung, because it’s one of few things that I’ve ever finished properly.

      I can get 90% of the way to completing a goal before I stop because the journey to get there was exhilarating and I don’t want it to end.

      I have adhd and I lost the ability to understand the title after the first stop.
