@Auster
@Narrrz

I normally stop if I can't concentrate. And do pretty much the same as Auster to learn stuff. Also I find it easier to learn if I do it without pressure.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Learn at your own pace. Being neurodivergent means taking detours.

What is the most annoying ADHD trait that you have? in c/ADHD@kbin.social

Procrastination is the most annoying for me, too. Closely followed by time blindness, object permanence and getting distracted.

Congratulations! I got a diagnosis this year with 36. It really made so many things make sense. And it really made me less anxious.

Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day? in c/AskKbin@kbin.social

I bought a puzzle box which had a good deal. But that was blind luck. That is I think the first time something I wanted was on sale.

I feel like that still sometimes. I hope that I will achieve my education goals and maybe build up some working friendships. Mostly I have to learn to engage with people and not drift away if they are not talking about something I find interesting.
