@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.

@@Soulcrash3 Not all people with ADHD have infinite energy. Quite the opposite, it is common to feel constantly exhausted. I have AuDHD, and it is exhausting.
@@Soulcrash3 Oh, definitely. I have the inattentive type of ADHD. And I don't even have energy to do the things I like. I have more than one hobby, but they all fall under the same umbrella. Except for my interest in video games.
@@Soulcrash3 Sad thing, I got my diagnosis in January of this year, and I'm in my mid 30s. I've lived my whole life struggling and not understood why everything is so much more difficult for me than for other people. Currently I'm waiting to start medication for my ADHD. Hopefully that will help me.
@@Soulcrash3 I'm thankfully not in the USA, so that's a bonus. To be honest, some things has gotten worse since my diagnosis, probably because I'm slowly learning to unmask. Prior to my diagnosis, I was treating a depression. Haven't needed those meds since the diagnosis, which is nice. They made me kinda sleepy...
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.
When I ask ND people what their hobbies are, the majority of them easily answer several things. When I ask NT people what their hobbies are, I'm lucky if they answer even 1. It's like NT people don't have hobbies
I uh. So it’s not neurotypical to randomly get bored and teach yourself how to finger knit and crochet in one random night then continue knitting for 72 hours straight, still having it in your hand when you fall asleep, then randomly decide to learn chess and make a Danny Devito as Jesus painting? I see why my friend thinks I have adhd, to bad I don’t have the money for a physiologist womp womp.
As an autistic, possibly with ADHD (need diagnosis), I cringe seeing talking about other groups like that, although I know it's a skit, and it makes me wonder how neurotypicals who talk like that about neurodiverse people never get cringe from talking like this about us
i wanna learn a bunch of weird little hobbies, like a jack of all trades master of none but sadly i only got like 2-3 instruments, crochet and knitting hoping the little creature in my brain will let me start sewing so i can have clothes i actually like, but also i really wanna try out skating i asked my friend what her hobbies were and she said 'art' "anything else??" 'digital and traditional art' cant judge bc art takes wayyy too much time to get good at and you need to be consistently doing it over _years_ it really is a superpower
I just try my best to smile at them while staring them down and telling them that the weather is beautiful. When they express their casual joy for the upcoming company happy hour, I try real hard to act as if I'm fascinated and might show up to "unwind." I have no idea what they're trying to communicate. 😬
dont know if this is a joke or not so i will just respond seriously. Sounds like they like to socialise with the people working there, and if theyre talking to you about it they might like to see you there. It depends on the specifics of the situation so it might not be a good idea to get your hopes up fully, just something to keep in the back of your mind
@@faireduchemin might also just be some small talk tbf. i tend to read into things too much which is why i only have it in the back of my mind. its prolly more my way of thinking thats complicated instead of the situation
...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?
As someone with ADHD I find it super insulting and stereotypical when neurotypical people say they have ADHD because they scroll for hours, basically saying people with ADHD have low attention spans, which we DON'T.
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.
@@wakeupclumsy yeah i have to disagree just because as someone who didnt grow up in a safe environment social media was my only escape and the only reason i lived to see the pandemic which honestly might not have been worth it. i am also able to identify my issues and talk about them with professionals because of social media because i struggle to verbalize and put into words what I'm going through unless I hear it from someone first then I quote it
@@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?
it's satire, it's reversing the typical narrative of ADHD being a disorder by acting like neurotypicality is a disorder to poke fun at how weirdly it gets talked about
I love when the script gets flipped, it's actually so nice to see nurotipicals get the same treatment we do

This actually showed me a lot about how the neurotypical dialogue around neurodivergent people can be really patronizing
im not even joking this helps me so much with understanding why people behave the way they do
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.

I have hobbies that I only get to plan out what I'd do in my head because they would inconvenience my family and thus trigger trauma issues.

...yeah i feel called out. "what do you like to do in your free time?" "art." "what else?" "...DIGITAL art?????"
They are like Sims characters or something
@@squidwardwithoutaclue ah, yes. because i talk like an animal crossing character and have a green crystal above my head.
and then they name something like "watching netflix" or "listening to music", as if there are many people who DON'T do that

Lol a physiologist 😭 Do you mean psychologist?
No wait I literally did exactly that a few days ago, well, the knitting, the chess was a few months prior

I’m maybe autistic so I have hyper focus like the normal people and take it for years on end like the neurotypical spectrum disorder. So I’m neat😎
please edit the title, it's missing the word *Attention*
so it reads like them NTs are flakers when it comes to settling bills 😅
that makes it funnier
I swear i wrote attention there! I just noticed that myself 😅🤦♀️
This made me giggle so much :D such refreshing content!
As a neurotypical this is true
True
The jumpy editing made me feel ND for sure
Then there’s AuDHDers who have changing deep interests (ex: when I read 4 or five books in a row about orcas, then 5 or 6 books about Boeing).
Yeah they are weird and difficult to understand. Not that it is bad, just hard.

My favorite thing about TH-cam is watching a millenial cringe their way around describing other people with authority.
i find calling neurodivergent people normal people funny 😹
Might be distracted by your overly exaggerated facial expressions.
obnoxious
Yea good luck taking advice from people with colored hair 😂😂😂😂
It´s sarcasm
Do you know what neurotypical means????? It means NOT having spectrum disorders.
Exactly! 😃
Which is kinda the point. :3c
I don't think neurotypicals understand sarcasm.
it's satire, it's reversing the typical narrative of ADHD being a disorder by acting like neurotypicality is a disorder to poke fun at how weirdly it gets talked about
and here we have a neurotypical, please be patient with them
Spectrum disorder deficits.
