Challenges in Mixed Reality in Assisting Adults with ADHD Symptoms
In this position paper, we discuss symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, as well as available forms of treatment or assistance in the context of mixed reality. Mixed reality offers many potentials for assisting adults with symptoms commonly found in (but not limited to) ADHD, but the availability of mixed reality solutions is not only limited commercially, but also limited in terms of proof-of-concept prototypes. We discuss two major challenges with attention as…

ADHDeepNet From Raw EEG to Diagnosis: Improving ADHD Diagnosis through Temporal-Spatial Processing, Adaptive Attention Mechanisms, and Explainability in Raw EEG Signals
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common brain disorder in children that can persist into adulthood, affecting social, academic, and career life. Early diagnosis is crucial for managing these impacts on patients and the healthcare system but is often labor-intensive and time-consuming. This paper presents a novel method to improve ADHD diagnosis precision and timeliness by leveraging Deep Learning (DL) approaches and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We introduce ADHDeepNet…

#Neurotypicals: You need to be bored. Next time you go to the gym, don't listen to that podcast. Just try to be in your head for a while. Maybe you'll think about the meaning of life, and maybe you'll figure it out.
My #ADHD brain trying to unload the dishwasher without a podcast: Hey, Remember the intro to Clifford the Big Red Dog? That song? You sort of paid attention to it for a few seconds while our kid was watching it. I remember those 5 seconds. Let's sing that intro... just that first part though. We're just going to keep doing that, over and over, hundreds of times in a row.
Neurotypicals: People don't like to be bored. People will give themselves electric shocks to not be bored. They don't want to think about the big questions

Toward Neurodivergent-Aware Productivity: A Systems and AI-Based Human-in-the-Loop Framework for ADHD-Affected Professionals
Digital work environments in IT and knowledge-based sectors demand high levels of attention management, task juggling, and self-regulation. For adults with ADHD, these settings often amplify challenges such as time blindness, digital distraction, emotional reactivity, and executive dysfunction. These individuals prefer low-touch, easy-to-use interventions for daily tasks. Conventional productivity tools often fail to support the cognitive variability and overload experienced by neurodivergent p…

Tether: A Personalized Support Assistant for Software Engineers with ADHD
Equity, diversity, and inclusion in software engineering often overlook neurodiversity, particularly the experiences of developers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Despite the growing awareness about that population in SE, few tools are designed to support their cognitive challenges (e.g., sustained attention, task initiation, self-regulation) within development workflows. We present Tether, an LLM-powered desktop application designed to support software engineers with ADHD…

mom just straight up told me i have adhd and that i should look up adhd tips

C'était pendant le COVID... Une amie m'avait introduit Š l'idée de faire un diagnostic #ADHD et comme elle me connaissait depuis tout petit, elle m'a parlé de mon enfance, puis elle a parlé de ses enfants eux aussi diagnostiqués.

Joking aside, this advice is generally pretty good. Reducing social media usage *definitely* improves my mental health. The less time I use my phone, the better my focus is. Dopamine purges *really* help increasing creativity. Most of the things he's saying are pretty spot on, but I literally can't finish some tasks without help. My brain is just wired in a way that makes listening to a podcast while doing chores basically necessary. I just can't go to a normal gym. I go to a climbing gym because it make exercise actually interesting.
There are a lot of hacks ADHD folks have to use to do "normal" stuff. Neurotypical folks just can't seem to comprehend that.

We were toyed with by the gods of chaos today. My ADHD son thrives on the in-the-momentness of it but I find it draining. An unexpected dead brake light threw this morning's plans which changed four times along with my clothes as we were/were differently/weren't/were going climbing as various attempts were made to find a bulb in town. Find bulb, hubs fits it, son & I go to Hereford, some tosser sets up a sharp under our tyre so it goes flat as we leave the car park to come home. …

Made the mistake of clicking a Reddit result about some ADHD-related thing. These people are in a fucking cult. They think their disorder is a superpower. Typical American toxic positivity participation trophy bullshit. There's nothing good about ADHD-- it sucks! More so each day

Excessive Screen Time is Associated with Mental Health Problems and ADHD in US Children and Adolescents: Physical Activity and Sleep as Parallel Mediators
To examine associations between screen time and anxiety, depression, behavior or conduct problems, and ADHD among children and adolescents during the pandemic, and to assess whether physical activity, sleep duration, and bedtime regularity mediate these associations. Data from 50231 US children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years in the 2020 to 2021 National Survey of Childrens Health were analyzed. Exact natural effect models and structural equation modeling assessed mediation by physical activ…

Understood: Real-Time Communication Support for Adults with ADHD Using Mixed Reality
Adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience communication challenges, primarily due to executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation, even after years of social integration. While existing interventions predominantly target children through structured or intrusive methods, adults lack tools that translate clinical strategies into daily communication support. To address this gap, we present Understood, a Mixed Reality (MR) system implemented on Microsoft Holo…

A Wavelet-Based Framework for Mapping Long Memory in Resting-State fMRI: Age-Related Changes in the Hippocampus from the ADHD-200 Dataset
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series are known to exhibit long-range temporal dependencies that challenge traditional modeling approaches. In this study, we propose a novel computational pipeline to characterize and interpret these dependencies using a long-memory (LM) framework, which captures the slow, power-law decay of autocorrelation in resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) signals. The pipeline involves voxelwise estimation of LM parameters via a wavelet-based Bayesian method, …

Portable Silent Room: Exploring VR Design for Anxiety and Emotion Regulation for Neurodivergent Women and Non-Binary Individuals
Neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), frequently experience anxiety, panic attacks, meltdowns, and emotional dysregulation due to societal pressures and inadequate accommodations. These challenges are especially pronounced for neurodivergent women and non-binary individuals navigating intersecting barriers of neurological differences and gender expectations. This research investigates virtual reality (VR) as a portable sa…
