ADHDinos is a webcomic about the daily struggles I (and many others) experience with ADHD. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and felt like I was on my own. I was then surprised to find such a massive and supportive online community where I was able to learn how to better navigate many of my problematic behaviors.

Thank you to everyone for their ongoing support!

    Or...you have a brilliant neuro-divergent mind, so yeah...being good at most things you try IS A THING. We try those things because we know what brings us joy (or a spike to baseline, *maybe* above). Notice how there's a million thoughts & ideas we DON'T try or do? And the few things we do try we're awesome at? There's a pattern here. (Spoiler alert: if you're unsure you'll like said new thing but still try it, you'll STILL BE GOOD AT IT.) ♡♡♡

    Handwritten lists, for me, work much better than digital reminders. The act of writing it down actually helps me remember it.

    I like how Dino actually shakes. I tremble inside, full with anxiety, whenever someone volunteers to check my stuff / go into my space. Even if it's clean/organized, I can't help but have a panicked reaction in those first seconds.
