We all get distracted sometimes.
Ugh, I hate this so much. I’ve gotten a lot of this same sort of dismissive “Yeah everybody has that sometimes” and it’s… honestly made my life worse. Possibly a lot worse, considering my chance to get help came and went ages ago and now I’m a “normal” landfill inferno.
“Yeah, everyone hates phones” Okay but does everyone have to do the “no food or drink after midnight” thing before making or taking a phone call? I’ve had my digestion wrecked for days 'cause I ate whilst panicking over an unfamiliar (extremely mundane) situation, is that normal too? Idunno if people are just trying to shut others up or to fit people into moulds or just trying to make people feel like they’re not weird but ugh :-\
rantrantrant!
I have a really small bladder so I do pee way more than others 😔
While I agree with this, there is also a tendency for some folk online to call every fault in the memory a ADHD symptom. Just yesterday there was a post about being very concentrated in something and losing the track of thought when someone distracts you. That is not ADHD, that’s just how memory works.
I am a coder and I require distraction free environment when coding.
One point to keep in mind: a lot of people are not educated to know these kind of things. In my country we tell our kids to function and blame them when they don’t function. It set an impossible high standart on very young people. But it is a relique from germanys problematic past, where people where only seen as Instruments.
I like to read neurodivergent content, because it gives me a much better insight in how the brain works. The content does not judge you and it does not blame you. This is appealing to people, who only start to realize how horrible the’ve been raised.
I would argue to work together to chance a system, that does not support human as diverse as they are.
