Does anyone else experience that at some point during a lecture (or similar situation) your concentration is "used up" and you suddenly stop being able to parse what the referee is saying? Like, my mind constantly slips away and when I'm able to parse a sentence, it takes so much time that they already said four more sentences. It's probably typical #ADHD stuff, idk but it feels so weird. It's like a wall of incomprehension that suddenly hits you out of nowhere. Is there like.... a word for this situation?

An die ADHD - und Autismusbubble.
Wie ist es bei euch mit Musik?
Früher konnte ich nicht ohne Musik sein. Ich habe ständig und überall Musik gehört. Absolut kreuz und quer. Jazz und Klassik und Dubstep und Grindcore. Gerne auch alles durcheinander. Inzwischen höre ich nahezu keine Musik mehr. Kennt ihr das? Ist das bei euch ähnlich?

Gerne boosten

I got home today from a road trip in which I juggled back pain, #fibromyalgia prone-ness to brain fog, fatigue and pain and the usual #autistic struggle with sensory overload and #ADHD time management failure tax.

So it was a good time to reflect on how all of the above has impacted my #travel, and what's helped me minimise sensory overload, reduce stress and pressure, and travel in greater comfort as a #neurodivergent, #disabled person.

Signs of Neurodivergence no one acknowledges:

- shower thoughts, all day long
- flirting by dressing like your love interest
- deep knowledge of things nobody else cares about, like how many holes are in a harmonica
-annoyed without knowing why; it was something you heard or read about hours ago but it just now seeped into your brain
-socks have to Be a Certain Way
-No Touchy when you’re concentrating
-accidentally sexy
-format changes in the middle of posts

I just saw this video in the orange site and at first I thought....I get he hates math. But what really claimed my attention is the top comment, it goes like this

> The study suggests that engaging executive functions, which are often challenging for individuals with ADHD, may lead to increased physical activity or fidgeting as a way to help regulate attention and focus.

> Basically the fidgeting doesn’t mean he’s not paying attention rather the opposite

> The fidgeting is part of how people with adhd digest information

> Since Star Wars doesn’t require thinking he remains still

#ADHD

Me at 3 pm / 1500:
Man, I just need more time so I can learn new things and level up my skills!!

Me at 3am / 0300:
lol I just woke up and can't get back to sleep, let's binge the #Loki series for the next three hours!

Le_sigh.

You should regularly update your introduction post, so that's what I'm doing.

You can call me Bob, and I'm a thirty-something year old living on Awabakal land (Newcastle) in Australia.

I came to the Fediverse because I valued, and wanted, conversation rather than "engagement". Kindness over the rabid hatred and bigotry that existed over on Twitter.

I liked it so much I decided to start an instance. And that's where we are now.

The main thing I talk about here is video games. I'm a fan of pretty much all gaming genres, but some of my favourites from over the years are:

  • Tomb Raider
  • Dragon Age
  • Cities: Skylines
  • Future Cop: LAPD
  • Transport Fever

I game on Linux!

I have a wonderful wife @Jamies, and a lot of animals. We have two cats, Pumpkin & Nutmeg, and three greyhounds, Waffle, Tim Tam & Fairy Floss.

I'm passionately anti-greyhound racing, and have fostered five rescued greyhounds in 2025 as of this post (including Floss who is a foster fail). Greyhounds are a really special breed of dog and they do not deserve the abuse, pain and needless deaths they endure every day as part of the industry.

I'm also passionately anti-bigotry, and I need to get better at verbalising it. I've watched on in shock as the world has taken lurch toward bigotry, racism, homophobia and transphobia. People should have the right to be who they authentically are without fearing being abused, attacked, or eliminated as we're seeing in the USA right now.

I'm also recently diagnosed with ADHD, which was a long time coming and a deep relief for me. I'd always felt as though something wasn't quite right in life, and that just living seemed harder for me than it is for many people around me. Understanding ADHD and how dopamine works in the body suddenly made my life make so much sense.

I'm unashamedly empathic, and will reach out if I see someone struggling. I won't take offence if you tell me to leave you alone.

It fits my workflow well because 1) I generally only type in English, and need to access special characters pretty seldom, and 2) it's vaguely similar enough to how the Option key was used on classic Macs (and maybe modern ones, I don't remember) to generate characters like á, è, ô, etc.

Man, Unicode made life so much easier. I actually remember drawing characters like ≅ by hand, pixel-by-pixel, and pasting them into my documents as in-line images when I was writing my geometry homework in high school. The fact that I did that crazy amount of Yak-shaving way back then, I wish someone had just said, "Kid, you might just have #ADHD!" XD

It's all different facets of the same wonky #ADHD diamond.

My hyperfocuses come at random, unpredictable times, and far too seldom.

My favorite is the brain-blizzards, which is like a manic event where EVERYTHING suddenly makes sense to you and you go a little bit berserk in euphoria because your brain just leveled up and UNDERSTOOD_THE_THING like never before. XD
