   The more I come to terms with the pervasiveness of the ADHD I’ve been in denial about for so long, the more it utterly blows my mind how *alien* the way neurotypicals see the world is.

     @llwynog From the copy of this on Bsky:

     Honestly, it’s just pervasive. Attitudes to snacking. The idea that unloading the dishwasher doesn’t have to be soul destroying. That listening to someone talking slowly doesn’t have to be enraging. That holding on to transient thoughts is possible. That you can stop the music. That you can just DO something even if it’s not urgent or interesting. That emotions aren’t zero or a million decibels. That hyperfocus isn’t a thing for them. That it’s not a constant fight against self loathing for not doing the thing. That they can just switch off. That telling someone that something that’s bothering them isn’t that important is actually supposed to help rather than annoy. That you don’t have to constantly seek approval that you’ll never get. That burnout doesn’t have to be a sword of Damocles.

     And so on and so on.

     @goatsarah I have an ADHD diagnosis too. But what exactly do you mean? I have never really thought about how NTs see the world differently.

     @goatsarah the vibe coders of real life, truly

     nothing is understood, nothing is systematic, nothing is expressed or considered, just ¯_(ツ)_/¯
