Impulsively buying stuff, hyperfixating on it for some time, losing that fixation and then having problems with keeping it in your routine as a habit is very much ADHD. ADHD is not 1s ans 0s, how people experience it varies from person to person and the severity of their ADHD. If you didn't have much problems with that in your life then I'm happy for you but I for example wasn't lucky enough with dna and stuff.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 47 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I very much understand hyperfixation and then moving on but that's not the example given. Buying a new toy, playing with it for two weeks then moving on is basic human behavior, not hyperfixation. Buying a blender then becoming so obsessed with it that you become fixated with it to the point where you think about it constantly, read, research and basically know more about it than could possibly be necessary then poof...gone, is hyperfixation.

Over diagnosing can lead to over correction. This is how we end up with basically normal people getting pumped full of meds that were not designed for them. Someone reads examples like the one posted, talks to a doctor and the next thing you know are on a cocktail of Adderall and antidepressants, which in turn destroys their ability to sleep, so then they also end up taking Ambien. So on, and so forth.

I am not minimizing the disruptive effects of ADHD, obviously. I am suggesting that EVERYONE take posts like this with a big grain of salt

Yes, this tweet is very routine human behavior.

Tons of intense, short-lived hobbies is one of the biggest hallmarks of ADHD.

Over-prevalence of this notion does a lot more harm to me than people wrongly identifying with the OP.

Buying something new, using it then moving on is a neurotypical behavior.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe the people who liked the post also have ADHD and understand that this is a single example of a trend and not a one time thing.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Woah now, assuming people on the internet are real human beings with the ability to read context and understand complex ideas? Are you crazy?

😂

But the good news is you just kinda learn quite a bit about every hobby you pick up, so people are always impressed with how much random stuff you know.

With that I relate. I don't have knowledge, but only surface information about a variety of topics, because I fricking jump from one thing and the other, and this maddens me.

You remember the random stuff you read?

It's in and out. I feel that people would actually think I'm smart if I could recall even 2% of all the shit I learn on demand.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

My memory is really, really good. It's my recall that's crap. Feels more like my brain works like RAM and not a hard drive in that my memories are randomly accessed.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If it was Ram then everything you learned would disappear when you went to sleep. And it would all be easily accessible at all times instantly.

A hard drive sounds way more appropriate. It's really good at following a single chain of information. It is terrible at randomly accessing information but it's all there.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 2 years ago

If it was Ram then everything you learned would disappear when you went to sleep.

I mean, it does feel like that sometimes.

ADHD is in big part quirky human behavior turned up to 11.

Edit: ngl, I'm tired of people just coming here, saying that everyone's like that, getting lots of upvotes and downvoting people when they clarify stuff. :/

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The problem is that a lot of examples people use are not the ones turned up to 11. I have ADHD but I don't tell people I lock my door walk 4 steps and realize I was thinking about other things and therefore have no idea if I did and have to fix it. Because lots of people do that

Stuff like re-arranging your room every 2 months due to flashes of inspiration, sure. Getting frustrated because you had the brilliant idea to do two things last night and now you can't decide which takes priority, sure. Endlessly scrolling on Netflix? Nah

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, I haven't brewed beer in 3 years but I still have my equipment, so that when I get sick of building guitars, I can go back to brewing beer. But wait, what about the transition from guitar building to tabletop gaming? I guess I can store the brewing stuff and the guitar-building stuff for a year while I go down the TT gaming rabbit-hole. And then there was that quick detour into making kombucha...and then pickling stuff...

I discovered a great way to reduce the financial burden: join a Makerspace.

Since joining a local one, I now know:

How to use a CNC laser cutter
How to use a thickness planer
How to use a MIG welder (poorly)
And, as of today, how to use a TIG welder (also poorly but, I did better than with the MIG)

Still to come:

How to use a terrifyingly powerful, 2.5 ton milling machine
How to use a similar size lathe
How to use a plasma cutter
How to use a fiber laser
How to use a vintage oscilloscope

And a ton more. Seriously, its awesome.

I was just thinking how I'm tired of seeing even the most normal scenarios constantly attributed to ADHD just to try and squeeze some humor out of it.

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I literally have a blender on my counter that I haven’t touched in… probably 12 months.

[–] gencha@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

I will use it soon. I promise! It wouldn't make sense to sell it. I'll literally need it the next day!

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you get bananas and frozen blueberries, you can use that as a base for any kind of smoothie, really. Unless you just don't feel like smoothies, which, valid.

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh don’t worry. I also have a bag of frozen berries in my freezer that are also 12 months old.

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Good good. OK, I see you have this well under hand.

I have 4 RC cars because of this. They’re amazing and I still use them, but not like I did when the hobby first got injected into my veins.
