When a person with ADHD complains of severe anxiety, I recommend that the clinician not immediately accept the patient’s label for her emotional experience. A clinician should say, “Tell me more about your baseless, apprehensive fear,” which is the definition of anxiety. More times than not, a person with ADHD hyperarousal will give a quizzical look and respond, “I never said I was afraid.” If the patient can drop the label long enough to describe what the feeling is like, a clinician will likely hear, “I am always tense; I can’t relax enough to sit and watch a movie or TV program. I always feel like I have to go do something.” The patients are describing the inner experience of hyperactivity when it is not being expressed physically.
At the same time, people with ADHD also have fears that are based on real events in their lives. People with ADHD nervous systems are consistently inconsistent. The person is never sure that her abilities and intellect will show up when they are needed. Not being able to measure up at the job or at school, or in social circles is humiliating. It is understandable that people with ADHD live with persistent fear. These fears are real, so they do not indicate an anxiety disorder.

I hate that I’m always trying to find cool biology themed stuff to wear but all the “nature inspired” clothing companies just have like two crossed arrows or a minimalistic mountain on a sweatshirt. Fucking lame, that’s barely even nature-adjacent. Put the life cycle of a salamander on a jacket, put hyena skeleton patterns on leggings, put a damn field guide of birds of prey on a peacoat and THEN you can have my money. Do NOT give me a shirt with a leaf on it that says “stay wild” or some bullshit I would much prefer clothing that broadcasts to everyone around me how many teeth an adult Jaguar has or how some pitcher plants can catch and digest rats.
REblog if you are Asexual, support Asexuals, or spend most of your time actually thinking about Superheroes.
Thank you so much!!!
(I would love to have the fic linked! <3)
Quick little sketch of a scene from lex luthor’s ascent from supervillainy to fatherhood Chapter 67: Reclamation: Retroactive by @halfagone
P.S. if you see this, I am in love with you’re story!

What IS it with tumblr users and “biting” I bet you people have never even bitten someone irl
So while most of the rouges would probably be smart enough to not fuck with the disaster that is Danny “grew up in an OSHA violation” Fenton, the Joker is not most rouges.

Cowards.
The lot of them.
This kid wasn’t any different than the rest.
For all the others had been talking about him and hyping him up, he really wasn’t all that special.
He’d hadn’t even put up a fight!
Pathetic.
He’d found the newest addition to the Wayne brood wandering alone, at night! Now that was just asking for something bad to happen.
Hearing a groan from the cameras he turned to face then again.
The boy had finally awoken.
He watched as he looked around at his surroundings.
He put out much less than he normally would, wanting to see if the stories about the boy were true.
He had heard from Killer Croc that the young Wayne had managed to take down all of his goons with nothing but a paper clip and two green post-it notes. Croc didn’t know where the post-it notes had come from, but apparently the paper clip had been found on the floor next to him.
So naturally, he’d left even less for the child to work with.
Only a small decorative Christmas tree and a little red clown nose. It was Christmas Eve after all, and who doesn’t love clowns.

The Batman stared shocked at the mangled broken body, somehow still alive.
Barely, but alive nonetheless.
The only clue as to what had happened was a green post-it note on the Joker’s battered body.
This was my first time writing so I’d really appreciate some thoughts and feedback!
Have a love morning/day/afternoon/evening/night!
This concept hasn’t left me alone since I saw that “Danny is a chemistry wizard who teaches a chem class, but in a very Fenton way” post, and i need to yell it out into the void.
Danny gets adopted by the batfam, but he’s like that with chemistry and mechanics and it gives them all a stroke. Especially Bruce. Doubly so if Danny is his bio kid or clone or something.
Danny has an allowance and he buys the most concentrated shit on the market with it because he got bored and wanted to see if he could re-create the fear toxin antidote he saw in the cave, especially since they seem pretty low on it. Do they have to get it from somewhere else? Danny knows the Waynes are rich, but there has to be a better way to do it than buying it for an arm and a leg. Maybe he’ll mess around and do the one for joker venom later.
Lab safety? Oh, yeah Dick, I’ve got my goggles and gloves and jumpsuit on. Of course I have the hood up. Turn on the vent? What vent? Why would I need a vent? Labels? Dude, look at it, it’s cetrimonium chloride. Oh, yeah, that’s the shampoo i got it from. You’d be surprised how many things you can isolate from household stuff.
Why would I use machines to measure this? Isn’t that for when you’re already busy doing something else? Yeah, like the centrifuge running over there. *gestures vaguely off to the left, to some abomination of mechanics* Whatddya mean that’s a safety hazard? It’ll stay together just fine; I made sure to use a new bike chain.
Where’s the rest of the blueprints? What do you mean “that’s it”? Aren’t there revisions and ideas? Where’s the reminders? Why’s there only one machine???
meanwhile the bats are wondering how the fuck the Fentons get literally anything done with lab safety apparently being a suggestion at best, and their storage system apparently being categorized by nine layers of nonsense and how violent the invention has the potential to be, if Danny’s ramblings are anything to go by. And Bruce “I need plans and contingencies for everything” Wayne is absolutely trying to not have an aneurysm from how much Danny just Does Things with no warning and no way that should feasibly work.
AAAAAA
