@fell@ma.fellr.netDou you neurodivergent folks ever worry about dementia or alzheimers? I'm 33 and I already can't trust my own brain. I'm afraid I'm going to be an utter mess when I'm 70. But maybe that's not how this works.

@hex@kolektiva.social#Neurotypicals: You need to be bored. Next time you go to the gym, don't listen to that podcast. Just try to be in your head for a while. Maybe you'll think about the meaning of life, and maybe you'll figure it out.
My #ADHD brain trying to unload the dishwasher without a podcast: Hey, Remember the intro to Clifford the Big Red Dog? That song? You sort of paid attention to it for a few seconds while our kid was watching it. I remember those 5 seconds. Let's sing that intro... just that first part though. We're just going to keep doing that, over and over, hundreds of times in a row.
Neurotypicals: People don't like to be bored. People will give themselves electric shocks to not be bored. They don't want to think about the big questions

@Erikmitk@mastodon.gamedev.placeMy #ADHD child has a strained tendon and a potential mini-fracture in his foot. He's not allowed to bear any weight on it for three weeks and has to wear an orthopedic shoe and crutches. You rarely see him without a soccer ball out and about playing and climbing. That's not allowed for three weeks!
He's already bored several hours into this experience.

@peter_mcmahan@mas.toHuman brains are not computers, but thinking of mine as a system with wildly insufficient ram and a slow, buggy swap that's always freezing and needing a full reboot is explaining a lot for me right now. #adhd
@Erikmitk@mastodon.gamedev.placeI think my biggest #adhd problem is task initiation. Not because tasks aren't urgent or uninteresting to me, but because of ✌🏻too many barriers✌🏻 in the way.
If I have to deal with an unclear work environment my momentum dies immediately.
Setting things up is a whole separate daily activity I have to account for in my life. If that's done and I have time I can bang out al…
