I Created A Cute Dinosaur Character To Illustrate Life With ADHD In These 24 Relatable Comics
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!

Very relatable and annoying. I want to continue but adhd says no :(
Agreed! I took up crocheting/knitting, was so excited but had trouble with something. So much yarn and books and needles sitting in a tote on my floor.. same with the origami..

"also just do them" Thats not how this works. Thats not how any of this works.
Exactly... I need a list, then prioritise the list... Then the day is over... Oh well... Time to sleep... Oh no, still not done...

"my broccoli needs a loan" TRUEEEE! I once had a dream that I was a firebender....but only after drinking a cup of mint-flavored tea.
I once had a dream that I woke up to some gremlin sitting on my chair that goes to my desk and then my bed ate me.
I once had a dream where my pet lion was kidnapped by the government and i drove in a tank with a light saber in hand in hand to take him back
Lessee...was in a race with a jet-powered flying lobster and a robot. I rode a giant flying beetle- and I won! Once, i dreamed an entire day at my job- but it was as a gas station attendant, and i've never worked at anything remotely like that
i had a dream about a deer princess that only turned human after a human kissed her (practically beauty and the beast but cottagecore version). then another one where i was in prison, there's an assassin came in and killed everyone except my friend, but then the assassin saw me and started going after me. it's like a sci-fi video game thing that I'm now writing
I dreamed up bumble bee size cats that left jellybean turds all over my house
i once had a dream that i could summon fire, like, in my hands, and when i woke up i stared at my hands for like 5 minutes wondering why they weren't flaming. also one time i had a dream i was hugh jackman
But It's So Helpful
f**k homework why cant it all just be like "if you dont get it dont in class then you dont get it done in class but you still have to do it even though it has no value" and just the only things that get graded are the tests and its your fault if you dont understand it all
I vote moose man for cabinet of Caro Caro (pres) and BACONY Cakes for vice
Load More Replies...Heh, this is me with any assignment. Why spend a week with small, mildly inconvenient breaks to work when you can spend a few hours the night before it's due stressed as f**k?
Sorry Mum
Unbelievable
my keys have these huge af keychains......big enough that the keys are noticeable wherever I put them
Its never big enough… mine have teleportation powers, I swear..
Load More Replies...My keys are in one of three places: hanging on the hook by the door, clipped to my purse, or in my coat pocket. It's taken me years to change from one specific place to three appropriate places.
i should get in the habit of doing this for my airpods because this morning i was having a [insert crisis type here] crisis because i couldnt find them and was very worried they probably got washed
Load More Replies...Wish I Didn't Do That...
to do list 1. find motivation 2. find a working pen 3. blank paper...... nevermind....too much efforts
Apparently, I Have Many.
She Gets Me
like putting it on a radiator... not me, a friend... hum hum
Load More Replies...I know.. but I need to have plants in my house.. they're horrible, but It must be continued, till the day they die and I buy another one.
My secret to healthy plants is only having plants that can survive neglect and also ones that are easy to propagate so I always have new ones when I eventually kill the first one...
Aloe Vera is nice. Replicates like hell and even when brown can become green again. I once bought a 2 cm one, and it replicates so much, I had to put some offsprings into the eternal cycle of life.

Tendencies Of A Serial Hobbyist
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.) ♡♡♡
Friendly Reminder From Dino
I was about to protest and then I looked up and saw the pile of laundry on my desk chair...
Does it count as done if it is clean but not folded?
Load More Replies...Hah, jokes on you because I did my laundry today. It might have been a few weeks, but still!
actually, i put mine away YESTERDAY!!!! its been sitting there awhile and im pretty proud of myself
I'd like you to know that I did my laundry yesterday. How long it took is none of your business.
What Are You Fixated On This Week?
I just apologise to my friend when im past phase 1 (sharing it forcefully with everyone) and phase 2 (realising im hyper-fixating but still wanting to share) and onto phase three (regrets)
Load More Replies...Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. I put all my energy into this thing. Burned out on it. And then put all my energy into doing nothing.
I hyper fixate in one thing all week and I forgot all the rest, like going on to appointments 🙃
Well then, I just realized that I hyper fixate all the time. So thats great.
This Is Unsustainable
multiple accounts multiple variations of the same password sucks when they all DON'T WORK

wurmple profile sry that was so random but I see ur prof pic and I love pokemon and it is a wurmple and I was gonna say smth related to this post but I forgot it...what was it...brain...where did you hide that thought
Load More Replies...if you see this comment, leave your device and drink some water. signed, your liver
Sometimes I go days without water while I’m not even hyperfixating :/
Lol I can't get myself to drink a full glass of anything so I half full it twice then feel accomplished for each half
No Agenda Can Prepare You For This
Happens To The Best Of Us
Certainly
i like using a computer for this. if its paper, ill just shove it in my backpack and itll get all crumpled and ill eventually throw it out at the end to the school year because its trash. my parents keep saying "wRiTe It DoWn!i!i!" but im just like nah fam thats all bullshit
Handwritten lists, for me, work much better than digital reminders. The act of writing it down actually helps me remember it.
My Eyes Only
Perfect way to illustrate our thought processes to ourselves as well as others.
I have ADHD and I RELATE TO ALL OF THIS. Also the dino is do cute <3
Thank you for making these; they're super cute and informative. It never occurred to me that I might have ADHD until I saw stuff like this on the internet. Now I wonder how I (and everyone around me) missed it. Every one of these hits home for me, and I feel a little less broken knowing there's an actual reason.
I just discovered these a couple of months ago and I adore them! So relatable… never been diagnosed but have suspected for many years now…. Thank you for creating these! ❤️
i’m not technically diagnosed but i can’t sit still, my attention span is about 30 seconds unless it’s my hyperfixation, i have the shortest attention span of anyone i know including my friend who is diagnosed, and i relate to 100% of this………if it turns out i don’t have it i really don’t know wtf is wrong with me lmaooo
I'm not diagnosed with ADHD but I really feel identified with many of the comics LOL
