'Noticing details and having strong emotions has spilled over into my career as a designer and illustrator. It’s what drives my ADHD-related comic series, which I created to explain ADHD in women and the condition in general to the world.' danidonovan
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 18. It was never a huge problem for me academically, but I did have trouble socially. I’ve always been chatty, with poor impulse control. I didn’t have many friends. I went to a behavioral psychologist because I was feeling down and struggling with extreme sadness, but she realized that my symptoms stemmed from undiagnosed ADHD.actually was a relief.
Looking back, it seems pretty obvious. I had a habit of starting lots of hobbies, quickly losing interest, and dropping them for new ones. My history of being easily distracted was pretty evident on the soccer field. I was the goalie known for being more interested in picking dandelions than protecting the goal and often didn’t notice the other team coming toward me until it was too late!Still, my unique way of looking at the world has some advantages.
Noticing details and having strong emotions has spilled over into my career as a designer and illustrator. It’s what drives my ADHD-related comic series, which I created to explain and the condition in general to the world. Laugh if you see yourself, or a loved one, in these recent graphics I designed.I laugh when people ask me for advice thinking, I’d have something valuable to say! And I joke that the reason my comics are so relatable is that I don’t have my life together. Still, beating yourself up for not getting things right all the time is a recipe for unhappiness.
