People with ADHD tend to maladaptive daydream, so how can they possibly watch a movie or show? When you watch a film or a series, you’re supposed to not think about anything else except what you’re watching. You aren’t supposed to daydream, because then you aren’t watching the show or movie, and you won’t follow along with the story, themes, characters, etc. You’ll forget scenes, so how can people with ADHD possibly watch movies???
Somehow, I don’t think you fully understand ADHD
Your understanding of ADHD is very poor. That said, I generally don’t. I have to watch a show/movie multiple times to actually get it, and it has to be one that I actually care about

Well shit, now I’ve got to rewatch everything I’ve ever seen because I’ve been doing it wrong.
I hear you brother. My first thought was “isn’t that what everybody does?“
If I’m watching something I’m interested in, I’m fully invested. If it’s just something that I consider background noise, I’ll listen to it while playing on my phone, out doing something else.
This account specializes in engagement bait.
I don’t know why at this point not all lemmy platforms/apps don’t have user tagging available. Makes it much easier to spot this moron and their fake accounts.
While folding laundry, playing on the phone, making a snack, getting the mail, …

This is not how you are supposed to watch film and television. Even if a movie is “bad,” it deserves full attention, and you can’t really know if a movie is bad if you are not paying attention and daydreaming???

Part of what makes a movie good is ability to hold people’s attention

Are you trying to tell me Dragonball evolution and star wars episode 9 deserve my full and undivided attention? If so you need therapy and like… Some kind of standard for what’s worth your time

Did you know that what seperates “good” art from “bad” is subjective experience?
And what are you my mum?
