Question for the ADHD folk cause I might have undiagnosed ADHD.
Does y'all's brains ever...skip text? Like, a lot? So much so that 80% of what you're reading is your brain filling in the gaps between what you actually read? Please tell me I'm not the only one. PLEASE.
You don't know how much I want to say no to this but the reality is that I made this page because I was fucking hyperfixed on good omens for much of this year and on david tennat only so that when I finally started a blog my hyperfixation would calm down, it's ridiculous!
I don't know if i'm just seeing this through ND lenses, but i feel like the majority of fanpage owners, artists, writers or otherwise creative people in fandoms have ADHD or other neurodivergencies... like every second person with a fanpage that i know has ADHD and made their page out of a hyperfixation.
Just like i made a fanpage for my fav show.
Also i'm in a FanFic groupchat and i don't know if we have even one neurotypical person in there.
Obviously there are also NT people with fanpages, but i think for Neurodivergent people it's just an outlet for their creativity... and also, it's free real dopamine i guess?
Thoughts?
Me, explaining disassociation to my neurotypical mother:
Her: what?? That’s a thing you do? Are you okay????
Two days later…
Me, explaining disassociation to an ADHD friend:
Her: Oh fuck, there’s a name for that??? Cool
you know?? That feeling like ah, so I’m not the only one, great lmao
