    A neurotypical is far more in control of their actions in this situation and it’s absolutely a choice. They don’t have to deal with hyperfocus and executive dysfunction the way someone with ADHD does. This isn’t some self diagnosis bullshit, and it’s reductive at best and actively harmful at worst to suggest we don’t suffer from it or that because neurotypicals can exhibit similar behaviours, that means we’re just making things up. I’m diagnosed and most people here are too.

      You aren’t neurotypical, so how would you know?
