Wolf Wisdom Update, ADHD Awareness Month, and Glossary
4 years ago
General
Ugh, this year has been hectic, but the ADHD Awareness Month series is finished, and will be published here, on Telegram, and on Twitter between October 1st and 31st. I wish I had more time to make up art, but I promised myself I would hit my deadlines and stop being a perfectionist.
I want to explicitly thank one of my reviewers, CoalPaw
sinistervibe for mentioning to me that a lot of the words to describe ADHD are not commonly known, so I'm going to define them here in my own words here for reference.
Attention Defficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - A neruological condition that effects a person's abilities and profiles. Is commonly mischaracterized as a disorder, but is more accurately described as a divergent pattern of thinking, informed by a difference in brain anatomy and neurochemistry.
Hyperfocus - A trance-like state where a person is so focused on what they are doing that the rest of the world ceases to exist. It commonly happens to ADHD people, and I'm told it happens to autistic people as well. You can see a similiar phenominon in gamers, musicians, or artists.
Neruological - Involving the brain.
Perfectionism - A pervasive anxiety about not living up to one's potential, and a generalized fear of failure, often a result of harsh discipline methods or repeated rejection. Work must be poured over and perfect before it can be seen by anyone else, because even slight rejection is very painful.
Please comment below if anything I have mentioned is undefined or poorly defined, I have been learning ADHD stuff for so long, I forget what words aren't common.
