Finally getting around to reading Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder, and multiple times now the author has warned against self-diagnosis.

Me, reading:
“Oh, that’s me.”
“Oh, that’s me.”
“Oh, that’s me.”
Etc…

Pattern recognition is a bitch. :)

- looking back I know I have it to some degree. I find kids let it own them while as you mature you just deal with it and move on - Beaker 🍺 Aug 16, 07:24 1

- We humans need something to blame for everything. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 07:22 1
  - Not always about blame. There’s value in simply having the language to talk about things accurately and precisely. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 16, 08:42
