Comic showing problems with ADHD motivation. Text: “Even when I want to cook, pleading won’t turn the stove on. Telling the stove about the consequences won’t magically turn it on, either. The buttons randomly appear sometimes but not other times, so I lose trust in myself. I procrastinate, hoping the deadline approaching will make the buttons appear. Being scolded just makes me think there is something wrong with ME, not the stove. I worry that while other people have been living their lives, I’m still stuck on basics.” Images show the character pleading, holding a late-fee bill, watering plants, being scolded, and sitting sadly before a dusty stove. Comic continuing the stove-button metaphor. Text: “Understimulation – Doing boring tasks can feel torturous, as I have to keep turning the buttons back on every few minutes. Slow Momentum – Sometimes starting is the hardest, as buttons seem to weigh a million tons. Hyperfocus – Sometimes I manage to turn the stove on but can’t regulate the heat and end up burning myself out. Some tasks require more buttons than others.” Images show the character bored beside the stove, then straining to push a heavy button, then a boiling pot overflowing with flames, and finally a washing machine labeled “Some tasks require more buttons.”
