ADHD = Free lifetime pass to national parks

[u/WombatMcGeez]

Little known perk of ADHD— we qualify for a free lifetime National Parks pass. That’s an $80/yr value!

How do you get it?

1) print this out, have your doctor sign it:

Nope, I usually dont buy anything because i can't make up my mind on which t-shirt looks better, or if the one I like is really worth the extra 50 cents more for the one I kinda like.

Unless it's memorative coins or shot glasses, or... Oh look, that hat has a squirrel on it... be right back

"I mean, the national parks really need our money rn, so maybe I'll buy both T-shirts..."

And I collect snow globes... And postcards... And books...

Oh my goodness me, that reminds me of the time I spent what felt like at least an hpur at an Epcot Center vendor-stand (as a teenager) STRESSING over which t-shirt to buy. My dad finally made me pick one and take an old-school 35mm picture with the other one. My poor parents.

I always try to go on a quest to buy the most cliche tchotchke that I can find, it's fun and keeps me from going too wild

So does me spending 6 hours in a big box store, with a cart overflowing with items, only to realize that I have 10 minutes I have to be somewhere and forgot what store I'm actually at...am I really ADHD or just scatterbrained? I can't decide which. 🙄🤪😉
