I'm pretty sure this is how it is for neurotypical folk too.
I would love if the neurodivergent communities were able to aggregate their comic posts, cross reference them by trait, then create a survey for a bunch of people to take.
I wanna actually see what percentage of Neurotypical/formally diagnosed/self identifying people of different common neurodivergent groups identify with said comics.
I hope someone hops in and tells me that this is totally a thing already.
Agreed, I worked a job with a ton of moving parts to figure out, with constant changes, and distractions every 30 seconds to 5 minutes. This is exactly what happens to everyone starting that position until you really get good at jumping back into where you were interrupted.
This was sorta my thought too, I'm only diagnosed with ADHD but I also feel this
If anything with my adhd I'm the one interrupting myself
I'm not sure, my NT friend has no issues. They find it annoying, but not extremely distracting.
Sounds like your friend is gifted. Being able to hold onto a focused logic stack like that through an interruption is very special.
