For all the ADD-Aliens:

I make the comics with you in mind just as much. I’m actually more inattentive than hyperactive myself and that probably reflects in the comics.

To simplify things I simply use the new, overarching term “ADHD” that includes the 3 subtypes inattentive, combined and impulsive-hyperactive!


I think it’s incredibly important for inattentive folks to be seen and for people to understand that there is not only the hyperactive folks. I absolutely like the idea of ADHD being a spectrum (being combined type myself). I don’t think ADD is any less severe or hindering than ADHD just because the hyperactivity is internalized.


And for the non-Aliens: our ADHD doesn’t become “better” when we have inattentive phases. We might just not be interrupting you because we are lost in the fog.
