Reminds me of my favorite comic
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.
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.
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)_/¯
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.
