ADHD memes

eh, kind of hit or miss with autistic people, afaik.

hyperfocus is a big thing for autists, which is a problem with attention, since it keeps you from choosing what you want to focus on.

so if you've got an assignment due, and your brain decides we're gonna focus on [different thing] right now, possibly for days on end, that can be a serious problem.

it can also look basically identical to ADHD for outside observers, since the result is often the same "they didn't to [the thing]!"...

and that then gets mistaken for a lack of motivation, which it isn't really:

it's a lack of ability to choose what to be motivated about.

it's one of the reasons that there's so much overlap in diagnosis of ADHD and ASD: symptoms can present very similarly to outside observers
