Sometimes I wonder how much this is a symptom of AuDHD specifically. ADHD people cannot hold “The Thought” but often just go with the flow anyway and it’s not as important. ASD peeps can hold “The thought” and feel the pressure to express it. AuDHD people simultaneously cannot hold it and feel the pressure to express it.
I will perseverate on a topic going back to it because I need to info dump, but most people just don’t care about things to the same level of detail. =(
Question about autistic friends, how do they/you feel when someone politely and moderately informed-ly disagrees with your take on the topic of choice?
Personally I love it when people question or even disagree with me, yay learning something new or a new perspective, but sometimes the intensity makes expressing disagreement or “uh, actually, that’s a common misconception but…” feel offensive.
