  • do I have to go to a specific place and see a specific specialist?

    I am not sure where you are located, but I was able to get tested in NYC through my job. I would suggest for you to search online for ADHD testing and see what comes up, first good step.

    Also I’m kinda scared of most medications and don’t really want anything too intense.

    I informed my doctor I do not like the idea of taking medication, but if it would help me function better, I just have to face the music and try it out. I’ll follow up later and let you know how that goes.

    If I do have ADHD it’s not like I can’t function right now so I’m unsure if I should even get tested. I just wish that I’d spend more time and effort on my hobbies.

    I had the same feeling and was told I am high functioning with a mild case of ADHD. I’ll see what next steps I want to take in regards to medication once I get access to the full report.

    These days I go hard on one of them for a good couple days or weeks and then not touch them again for months or longer.

    are you me??? lol





  • hmm, looking up the word on Wikipedia shows how the word Luddite now means what the comic is depicting:

    Nowadays, the term “Luddite” often is used to describe someone who is opposed or resistant to new technologies.

    In 1956, during a British Parliamentary debate, a Labour spokesman said that “organised workers were by no means wedded to a ‘Luddite Philosophy’.” By 2006, the term neo-Luddism had emerged to describe opposition to many forms of technology. According to a manifesto drawn up by the Second Luddite Congress (April 1996; Barnesville, Ohio), neo-Luddism is “a leaderless movement of passive resistance to consumerism and the increasingly bizarre and frightening technologies of the Computer Age”.
