This explains so much for me. I was a very organized student and I absolutely love to learn, so it makes sense this is an are where I am very focused. I am also very focused on crafting, home repairs, and anything related to the medical field. But give me something mundane and uninteresting to do and I get extremely distracted and disinterested. It’s why my bills are paid automatically through the bank so they are done on time.

Yeah.. I forget to charge my phone all the time. Also.. I have intense anxiety which developed into panic disorder. People have tried to diagnose me many times with depression but I knew that wasn’t it. I struggle with trying to starve myself, sometimes subconsciously, and my husband will at times physically sit down with me knowing I skipped meals to make sure I eat. “No distractions or excuses can happen now!” is what he will say. We both are on adhd spectrum along with my kids. Only recently learned all my life is full of coping mechanisms to make myself fit in society. This was a fascinating discussion.

I remember seeing a nursery full of those Romanian babies rocking to comfort themselves in their unattended cribs. Can't unsee it. Don't really want to. But so distressing.

I think I have both. This is the 1st time to hear of AuDHD. I also have Dyslexia and Irlen Syndrome my entire life. I had no idea why I couldn't sit still or concentrate. I couldn't read from the Irlen Syndrome, had the words jumping up off the page, just skimming and not comprehending the words.

As a foreigner in Japan and mother of a child, who has started Japanese school this year - sorry, it's a sweet stereotype! At 6yo they're having harsh discipline, long hours (8:15-14:40, 15:00) and all sorts of learning in school! Count and kanji, homework on top of it every single day!! Yes, they're also doing some chores around the class and grow flowers, catch and learn about insects, all that sort of stuff which I don't mind. But it's really not some thing to aspire I am afraid...

Oh gosh I couldn’t make it through the intro. The sound it makes when it ticks through the words on the screen made me gag with the way the sound hits in my throat. 😢
