r/irlADHD is a subreddit with 11k members. The community frequently discusses adhd, medication, emotions, hate, and focus, and they frequently recommend/review planner app, and the most common flair used is any advice welcome, adhd advice only. , no neurotypical advice please, you should know, and hyperfixation .
A place to discuss the less palatable issues in the ADHD neurodivergent community. Ask questions and share stories about addiction, relationship issues, bullying issues, and other shit that is hard to have conversations about. This is a type of "safe space" as we will ask Neurotypicals to avoid commenting on certain posts (see flair). We want open and honest discussions about the issues we face while we navigate a world striving for order, while our minds are chaos.
