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.
Reminds me of my favorite comic
I don’t always need someone to interrupt me for this to happen.
Sometimes it feels like this but often I’ll just put on a face and pretend to be listening but really I’m still halfway focusing on the problem I’m solving. I rarely really hear what people say to me when I’m like that. Just nod and smile ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I do this, but when I hear that upward inflection I have to scramble. What where they saying? Better say something generic like “mmmyeah”.
Great, now I have to restart the entire process. Make sure to interrupt me again ten minutes later when I’m finally back in the zone.
This is why meetings are evil and all program Managers must be eliminated.
This is why I’ve learned to write at least some of the solution I’m considering while I’m thinking about it to make it easier to recall if I lose track, but I do revert to keeping it in my head when I get too lazy to type.
I thought this was in c/comics and was about to crosspost it to !autism@lemmy.world
I feel seen.
