Tales from an Average Jane
I've never considered myself extraordinary. I'm averaged height and I have the most common hair and eyes, brown. I am the type of person if you aren't specifically looking for me I blend into the background. I live in the Midwest where most country roads are flat with a corn or wheat field on either side. For most people that might be something to hate but for me I like being able to fade into the background. It's my comfort knowing that I can go by unnoticed and unbothered. Because honestly I hate small talk and talking to strangers. The very thought has always made my skin crawl.

How I make my ADHD work for me
I've grown up my entire life thinking I was odd. What others found as easy tasks, I found tedious, painful, boring, or nerve-wracking. Tasks that usually took only a short amount of time I would push off until I couldn't any longer. And every time I would tell myself the same line "I won't put that off again. I'm going to do this every week." And then undoubtedly I wouldn't. I couldn't get myself to stick to a routine or schedule. If this sounds like you then you may just be a fellow neurodivergent. And once I started to make efforts to figure out where I lost momentum and what got me active with activities I loved I started to realize that I can make my ADHD work for me.
