Procrastination in ADHD/ASD

Procrastination is not Laziness. It is typically associated with ADHD.

Talking about the labeling of every single human behavior, Procrastination is making the charts.

Nobody’s lazy anymore: the new vocabulary for ‘Laziness’ is ‘Procrastination’.

The most disturbing part is that Procrastination is being deemed as an emotional disorder and major feature of ADHD.
I can be easily distracted, though not lazy.
Procrastination is Distraction to me.

Distraction does slow-down productivity, although it’s not associated with Lethargy.
In fact, we are mostly hyperactive when distracted.

ADHD rarely manifests individually, it is a component of most Mental Disorders, last but not least, Autism.

Neurons are divided into Recipients and Receivers separated by Synapses, spaces where neurotransmitters temporarily pool up, before being absorbed by receiving Receptors.
This process is continuous and interchangeable.

In ADHD, the neurotransmitters are not re-absorbed in the recipient cells, accounting for deficiency of serotonin and dopamine, major players in Attention and Reward, resulting in impaired cognitive function.

ADHD treatment is gaining momentum in the cure of Autism and Clinical Resistant Depression.

Latest findings from Dopamine Transporter scans, show abnormalities in Young-Adult Autistics.
We know that Dopamine has an important role in motor-skills Memory.
Parkinson’s disease is the most common form of neurodegenerative illness characterized by loss of motor coordination.
Lack of dopamine is a general symptom.
The specific pathology of Parkinson’s is the inability to recycle unused dopamine clogged in Transporters.
The same pattern applies to autism. What was previously thought of autistic Stimming, could be early- onset Parkinson’s, with autistics having 6 times more chances of developing the disease later in life.
New dopaminergic medications are under study.

Buffering vs Multitasking

Buffering has multiple meanings. 

In Mental Health, it refers to positively Tricking the brain.
When all attempts fail, we are left wondering about how legitimately “cheat subconsciously” an inattentive brain.
This is Buffering in psychology.
The practice may seem unethical at first glance, whereas it ultimately benefits subjects with Attention Deficits.

ADHD is the primary symptom taken into account in Attention Deficits.
The ADHD brain never relents by processing multiple thoughts at once, not so differently from neurotypical Multitasking.
The challenge is, the neurotypical acknowledge the inadequacies of multitasking, though ADHDers fail in long-term Memory Storage while excel in short-term Information Storage.
Unfortunately, we have seen that Information is quickly forgotten.

Premium Learning is storing permanently one Memory at the time.

Stimulant medication is the first intervention in ADHD, though with its limitations: Stimulants wear off after 6/8 hours average, resulting in inattentiveness’ Rebound symptoms.

Psychologists are finding extra evidence of Music in neural activity.

Music connects the body with the mind, activating Motor Neurons, with a high potential of Rewiring, Music Therapy. 

Dance is the most visible expression of music, since it stimulates nerves at subconscious level without interfering with attention. Quite the contrary, Music proves to enhance concentration.
We can communicate through music.

In ADHD, neutral techno/upbeat sounds would remove distractions, contrary to the logic of multitasking in the neurotypical.
The reason Music does not account for Multitasking and Distraction is due to the Subconscious perception of the brain, in so doing, acting as Cerebral-vacuum for Conscious Intrusive Thoughts.

The trial was performed in ADHD students, showcasing Subject-Focus and long-term Memory Storage in a musical context.
In addition, Study-participants reported Reward and Relaxation.

I tried the method on myself successfully, henceforth I’m confidently confirming the efficacy of Music Buffering in ADHD.
I would like to hear from you in the Contact form.

Thank you and stay tuned.
