  • This is a nice “outside looking in” perspective on ADHD. I don’t wanna rip on it cuz it comes from a good place.

    But.

    That being said, I suspect that there wasn’t a lot of successful ADHDers in history.

    Maybe Modern History… but IMO even Little House on the Prairie is only showing a fictionalized thin slice of lifestyles back then.

    Neurodivergent people are the reason humanity survived this far. We’re the ones that learned the patterns of the animals to hunt and the plants we cultivate; Which mushrooms killed john last week and judy last year.

    Light/sound/smell sensitivity… that’s the makings of a hunter/gatherer. Advanced social que reading… that’s communicating with people who don’t speak your dialect. Hyperfixation… well that’s just tool/garment making fuel.

    I highly doubt non-autists discovered metallurgy like Bronze & Steel.
















  • I love old RPGs but they’re too grindy for me now or something.

    Like I bought the Final Fantasy Tactics remake. Original is easily my favorite game of all time. And a HUGE Quality of Life improvement the remake added was the ability to fast forward the gameplay and the cutscenes (IYKYK).

    Every time I try to pick up my 2nd all time favorite FF6(Snes) I find myself losing interest after my 10th random encounter. I like the story, the characters, the music(!), the puzzles/exploration. Defs not bored of the game, haven’t beaten it (again) for like 15 years now.

    But the gameplay itself, sadly, just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Like I burned many hours on my gameboy colour playing Dragon Warrior. Can still hear the music for Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger in my head. So it’s not like I never liked the genre.
