I am a witch who lives their life everyday struggling with ADHD. ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder similar to/encompassing ADD Attention Deficit Disorder is a learning disability, If you’ve come from tiktok you may now call it DAVE, meaning Dissociative Attention Variability Executive-dysfunction. DAVE is a much more accurate description of the disorder. With ADHD/ADD/DAVE I tend to struggle with what is called “Object Permanence” a skill developed by most toddlers at the age of roughly 2-3 years through games like hide and seek or peek-a-boo. While I developed the basics of object permanence I struggle remembering things that are not in my vision still exist. That can range from concepts, to objects to yes even people or emotions. That being the case, I have to use Books or pamphlets to read tarot cards accurately. I can remember small pieces of general information each card stands for, however for accurate and clear readings it is better for me to interpret the cards drawn. All of this to say my ADHD/ADD/DAVE tends to have a positive effect when it comes to hyperfixation and multi-interests. I can focus intensely or over several topics/interests when my brain is willing.
When it comes to being able to participate in my practices it takes what the neurodivergent community calls “Spoons” [Spoon Theory]. If I am out of spoons for the day it is easy for me to just want to flop, similar to a no bones day for Noodle the pug. If I choose to continue working when I run out of spoons I can seemingly “Reuse already used spoons”, but it’s unlikely to do so when I’ve used up all my spoons. It’s important for me ro work on a spoon heavy, f*cks to give heavy, bone day. However, I can work without all three of those; it's just more exhausting. For me to work on things like tarot I have to have all the preferred tools and the preferred amount of spoons for that day.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my neurodivergent ramblings to explain my complications or need for a divination crutch or two.
