      @omgfiredragon for me its not really for the same treatment thing and more to try to see neurotypes more objectively by seeing how they'd be percieved if some other neurotype was the majority. Its also just interesting for worldbuilding to imagine such different societies

    Hypo-focus makes sense, could be a hold over from early humans. Humans are persistence hunters, so maybe they haven't fully adapted to modern life but would have made great hunters in our collective ancestry. 😂

    In ADHD norm universe:
    This also somewhat applies to autistic people wether or not they have hypofocus nonspontaneity disorder. They often have long-duration attention to specific hobbies that are just as intense as a normal person but without varying much they rely on routines or schedules to handle other tasks, akin to a prolonged hyperfocus.

    i mean as someone diagnosed with adhd and autism i have hundreds of different hobbies im hopelessly obsessed with, it’s just that i become so overwhelmed with doing all of said hobbies that i end up doing none. my favourite hobby is not having a hobby.
    it’s also pretty common in neurotypical and neurodivergent children to be super distracted with all of the different things they want to do, it dies out in neurotypical children as they go on to adulthood but usually not neurodivergent children.

    ...So what you're saying is it's not neurotypical to latch onto a particular hobby or aspect of a hobby (or almost anything sufficiently deep) and spend between a day and a week enthusiastically learning everything you possibly can about it before it slowly fades away into a massive collection of projects and interests which only seem to grow in number over time but which you could never possibly all fulfill, such that you end up with a rotating circle consisting of a few active hobbies at any given time, all of which you're trying to do all at once but which only truly have your attention one at a time?

      Wow. This comment is going to make me actually turn on my reply notifications again so i can return back to this later because I always thought the same thing. So many people claim they have ADHD but look at the world we live in. Tik tok, social media, Snapchat, all this quick instant gratification BS that's the real reason this generation has a mental health crisis. I genuinely believe if social medias were never created, we would have like 75% or even half of the mental disorder rates we have today. So many people label themselves as "depressed" or "adhd" when in reality, and to little fault of their own (at least until they realize), they're living in a way that our brains were not designed to handle. The sad part is that so many actually neurotypical people victimize themselves and make themselves believe that their condition was innate, and that the damage is irreversible, when in reality it is. I don't like quoting him but Hamza has a great stance on the issue. You can take action on your mental health in WEEKS. That's what the conversation should be promoting, instead of so many otherwise healthy people surrendering themselves to their situation.

      ​@@zer0under4493 I don't think this is a one or the other thing. Social media is great for helping to get ideas out there and helping to find other people who are struggling with the same things you are who might be able to express it better. BUT studies also show that it does shorten attention spans for most people in addition to being highly addictive and speeding up the dilution of terms like ADHD, OCD, triggers, and trauma (this would happen anyway, and I forget the term for it, but social media makes it happen faster).

    I do sometimes ponder if neurotypicals could be considered a form of social OCD, as in everything is oriented to it.
    Someone says something, are they popular enough to pay attention to?
    You notice a problem, do you have enough social support to trade in for bringing it up?
