And the subsequent, “You know, this would’ve been a lot faster and less painful for everybody if you’d explained what you were going for six months ago”
Your sound like my wife! (She has ADHD and has her own quirks but who cares)
I feel this in my bones. As a child, I remember telling my mother something along the lines of
Of course I photocopied the relevant section of the text book and gave it in as my homework. The teacher asked for the information. What was I supposed to do?
Oh. Well, I didn’t understand I was supposed to get something out of it, I just did what I was told. You have to tell me why, or I won’t do it.
I never really considered that NT people might not operate like that.
The amount of hostility i get for asking ‘why’.

I’m in the spectrum myself, I feel this. But I also have to mention that my experience has shown me that when you go down this road, you might need to argue with an asd person who doesn’t get it and wants to keep arguing, and sometimes there’s just no time for that. Sometimes we need to recognise when someone else is an expert and defer to their opinion instead of forcing them to be an unwilling and unpaid tutor. If they’re not an expert otoh and are just an authority (boss, landlord, whatever) then argue away but recognise that unfortunately there can be consequences for arguing with authority, so be prepared and know when to back down for your own well being
Your collection of flares looks like someones collection of pokemons. Gotta catch them all I guess lol
That’s what happens when one’s an active admin 😁

Now if we can cure you of your anti-communist brainworms you will be extremely powerful (I mean this in he friendliest way possible
).I’m an ancom, I don’t have a problem with communism, I have a problem with tankies
But Hexbear says communism is when you have a big state that controls all means of production and allows no dissent! Anyone who disagrees is a lib!!
Yes, communism is when centralized. Gotta get me sone of that sun king communism.
Thats what lying cheating stealing and doing trash work are for!
I have AuDHD and I have trouble remembering instructions without knowing the reasoning behind the procedure. If I’m taught something by people who understand that reasoning I’m so much more engaged and curious in the learning
It’s a curse, but goddamn if I understand the “why” about something I’ll do so well.
If it wasn’t so goddamn energy intensive to function as expected by nuerotypicals, we’d be gods.
100% this. Math was actually hard for me until I got to college and started seeing proofs for everything. Now I love math.
I hated math in school, then I started working at a grocery store with bulk bins (and also selling drugs) and now I can convert multiple different units of measurement between metric and imperial in my head.
My kid would always have another logical argument as to why he shouldn’t need to do the thing.
Teach him scripting to automate the boring stuff, and your kid has a bright future in IT!
No point in writing a script because surely its a one time thing (this will never bite me in the ass /s)
Hello I’d like to license this as the plot to the movie of my life
You should be able to respond to their rebuttal if what you’re asking them to do is truly logical.
Schoolwork was NEVER logical to him. Neither was cleaning up after himself.
As a young person, he had all the time and energy in the world to make his arguments.
As parents, we did not.

Perhaps he’s got a point then.

That’s an excuse not an arguement. Perhaps cleaning and homework are simply illogical.
(I am making a very dry joke here.)
Shit, maybe im autistic instead of adhd??!! Or both.
So true. I am one of the more lazy and chaos blind persons. I have a really hard time cleaning up.
We moved in a new house a year ago, and finally, since a week or two u have drive. I complete building projects and get pestered by chaos.
And everything just because my brain found out that is I clean up and finish open projects, we get the space for a long dreamed of PCB manufacture. On that note… Just kidding, I really you all about my ToI another time ;)
Wow, after phones, headphones and smart watches, Nothing is now expanding even more?
The Nothing always expands, we need to push it back
