Hey everyone! I hope I don’t offend anyone with this, I’m writing a short film and want to portray a character with ADHD as authentically as possible.

I’m curious about the personal, everyday feelings rather than just the textbook symptoms.

For those diagnosed: How did you first realize that what you were experiencing was actually ADHD? What were those subtle signs, internal monologues, or moments that made you realize your brain just worked differently?

How do you cope or get through the day, whether through medication, specific habits, or unique life hacks?

Would love to hear your stories for inspiration. Thanks po ng marami 🙏🏻
