Also FYI the ADHD subreddit is hilarious. We're so eager to dump feelings in 5000 word posts but NOBODY there can read any of it because it's too long.

We need to hire some normal folk to come in and TL;DR that shit for us.

Yup. That's why a lot of my comments, emails or texts I try and break up with lots of spaces.

Like this.

To try and separate ideas.

Right??? My texts and DMs are a flurry of sentence fragments. Reads like I talk though which is fun if you know how I talk.

This is why I have trouble reading books. My mind just looks at a bunch of fragments, starts skipping around and gets bored.

i read by skimming paragraphs.

i mean most stories follow similar patterns and differences are mostly in the colorful metaphors that surround the verb. if the next sentence does not make sense then I'll back up and give a more thorough glance and gather the context.
