  Is this supposed to be a description about a person with adhd or a person without cuz that description was spot on for some of my relatives with adhd in that they can’t hold attention on one thing too long so passion and interest was very brief. And if we’re studying one relative I had in particular, she was constantly trying to fit in and buy things to fill a void. It did much harm. ADHD was only one of the comorbidity she was struggling with.

    AuDHD refers to simultaneous autism + ADHD.

    Some symptoms appear to “cancel out” each other from an external perspective.

      my neighbour’s son is autistic with adhd. Their son was preyed upon by a gang. and my nephew is autistic with adhd but presents very differently. Hopefully he will grow to not be so easily taken as the neighbour’s son. it’s so tragic.

      my niece is adhd. Their father was adhd but again, very different.

      No two are exactly the same.

      It’s a massive stretch to say simply being atypical means you’re invulnerable to peer pressure. If anything it’s been quite the opposite.

        You edited your original post. I thought you were unaware of what AuDHD meant. I’m not for or against anything anyone else wrote, mostly because I’m half-reading while intermittently socializing with inlaws on Christmas eve.

        Carry on.

    Average neurotypical reaction. Can’t expect them to understand 🤷

      Imagine thinking normal people don’t have hobbies and then acting superior about it on the Internet…

        No no you guys have hobbies! You’re valuable members of society and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

  I like to call it Attention Surplus Disorder. It’s crazy to me how most people can just focus on something for 50 hours a week that they’re not interested in at all, and this doesn’t set off warning bells in their head.

  Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of antiwork neurotypucals, but it seems weird how many people actively support it.

    I think for most people it’s just a matter of tradeoffs. You don’t have to be interested in the act of doing something in order to be interested in the consequence of doing that thing.

    Someone who doesn’t like driving may still drive, and concentrate on driving the entire time, to get to a destination where they want to end up. For someone who doesn’t like to cook but wants to eat hot food, cooking is a means to that end.

    Now, if you’re saying that you don’t think that tradeoff is worth it to you, maybe that’s true of them if they stop to think about it, too. But I’m not sure that’s what’s going on for most people who continue to work jobs they don’t like.

  Neurotypicals tend to lack curiosity and passion for interests.

  When the interest at issue is human relationships and social norms, I think it flips the other way around.

  Better to characterize things by what type of interests tend to appeal to which.

    Idk, dude. I’ve met people I swear are autistic but social but they’re overly rigid about social norms and being polite. I don’t buy it. Anyone can be interested in anything.

      Yeah, but I’m responding to a comment that says that neurotypical people aren’t curious or passionate about the things they’re interested in, and I think that’s too narrow of a way to define “interest.”

      I’d reject that way of thinking because that principle could be weaponized to accuse some neurodivergent people of not caring about people by misreading why they might not be great with social cues or things like that.

        That’d be a problem if people were using blanket statements, but that’s not how the comment is worded.

        If someone said, “Autistic people tend to have strong, specific interests,” nobody would be getting insulted. We’d be like, “Yeah, that tracks.” Even if somebody autistic lacked that particular trait, the phrase “tend to” allows for exceptions to the statement - it’d be understood that not every autistic individual fits that description, but many often do.

        Which is why it’s interesting that when an autistic person flips that exact same sentiment around to show what “normal” people look like from their perspective, neurotypicals are taken aback.
