ADHD memes

Yeah I don't think too much about it, I think most of my quirks can be boiled down to me just not being properly socialised; I moved around and changed schools a lot, coupled with being an only kid with an abusive mother, it's a recipe for some stuff getting fucked up. It can be pretty debilitating; I get super anxious in large groups of people (earplugs/noise cancelling earphones help) and I can't really deal with social gatherings for long without crashing. My solution is to just not; I work from home and keep to myself and it works pretty well.

Something that did catch my attention once though was someone talking about their experience with audio processing issues. Someone will say something to them and they hear that someone says something, but they don't understand it. Or they say "what" as they're still processing it and then respond right as the person repeats themselves. I always thought that was particularly strange as I have really sharp hearing, and I never felt like I didn't hear what someone says, it's more that I didn't get it or I hear them say something they obviously didn't say.

In the end I'm not too bothered though. Currently I'm perfectly functional and mostly happy the way things are. I'd be pretty fucking upset if someone started mandating that I go to an office daily, but I'll burn that bridge if I ever end up at it.
