LRTs are things i myself experience on the daily/all my life!! especially with the eye contact thing!! it can be really hard for me to hold it for a long period of time, so i constantly switch to looking over the person's shoulder or to the side
and re: hyperfixation, i get really frustrated when people without ad(h)d/autism use the term to describe an interest of theirs. like, you have No Idea just how intense a hyperfixation can get. i can get obsessive about things so easily, and i have to actively keep myself from //
getting into shows or games i know will make me spiral into a hyperfixation. this has upset some friends of mine before who've suggested something i'd like, and i end up having to make excuses as to why i haven't watched something because explaining it makes me feel//
like..idk. silly? a lot of people see getting really into something as a good thing, but as someone with adhd it can take over my life to the point of me not being able to do anything else
