    My ADHD family and I rush through things and interrupt each other because if we don’t were likely to forget something important that just popped into our mind. But by interrupting we made the other one forget what they were talking about.

    Living in a world that isn’t adapted to my needs can be exhausting, but it’s not the reason I rush through things. That’s pretty innate to my neurodiversity.

        That’s absolutely true. If your comment had said “That can be a trauma response that manifests in some NDs lvining in an NT world. It’s not always innate.” I wouldn’t have replied.

        There are a depressing number of people who make very absolute claims that all the problems of neurodiversity come from the world not being designed for them. While I understand why it sometimes feels like that, it’s absolutely not true for many people with ASD, ADHD, etc.
