If you had to describe what ADHD hyperfocus FEELS like, what would you say?
I'll start:
Euphoric and productive when it hits; exhausting and disappointing when it passes
@Autistic_Lia Something like that.

Autistic people also seem either less interested in conforming to every social norm or perhaps less able. Or perhaps neurotypical people are just unusually good at conforming (or at least pretending to conform) to norms.
Falls ihr euch schon mal gefragt habt, wie es sein kann, dass eine Promotion über 5 Jahre dauern kann ("sind ja nur 250 Seiten") - hier mal mein Weg zur fertigen Dissertation seit 2017

autistic masking🧵:
6yrs ago today I got a job that let me abandon Dark Lulu.
Here's me/&dark lulu: hair dyed half/half to flip. She was a mask for staying alive during undergrad.
She got higher paying jobs, called on more in class, treated better by Drs. I hated her. She hurt.
