My diagnosis actually said mine is low level, which i dont trust and im pretty sure I just am good at faking the test and its much worse than it looks.
My friend kind of thinks everyone just has adhd but they dont understand the level at which i have it. Like they can focus for a 16 hour workday- there’s no fucking way I could do that, I can barely do 9 and most of it is not real work either.
You’ll be able to hyperfocus far longer than that, once it’s something worthwhile that you’re interested in and inspires you. ADHD super powers yet to be experienced and discovered.
That’s my kind. If I am enjoying myself I tune out the world and will forget to eat or sleep. I’ve gone more than 24h without realizing it, though the autism exacerbates it. Many years ago I started setting an egg timer to help “bring me back” but these days I can use phone apps for that. I recommend that for fellow hyperfocus neurospicies.
There’s nothing quite like that moment when you realise that you’re about to pee your pants because body signals didn’t register. But then you also go, I’ll try to hold out so I can just do this, one, thing…
The problem as with most of us, the thing that lds my focus has 0 bearing on anything useful in life haha!
Change how you define “useful in life” then. If the time spent brought you enjoyment, isn’t that still useful in a way?
Well sure but no one gives a shit about old tape machines or 90s computers xD id be much better off learning to code in python or learning carpentry but I just dont have the interest.
