I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and it changed how i think about terms like “detail” and “organized”...my mind doesnt process linear steps well, likewise i dont work well with others who expect me to follow a set pattern of thought https://twitter.com/krenshar_posts/status/1281604354965770241

This gets me fired sometimes OR quitting and its not all ADHD, butttt I have to know the context for the linear process, and i then tend to want to deconstruct it. My mind want to know things, involuntarily. It get stuck on certain things.

It thing that i figured on is after cycling through things what my mind gets stuck on lots of times ends up being important, even if it doesn’t seem so at the time. Example: at work im reviewing endless documents for fraud related to PPE

At then end of the day one signature sticks with me and my mind keeps tumbling it, like its a sock in the drier. Its just a signature but my brain wont move on. So i have to start everything again - all the documents, all the websearchs, and finally it hits why it wont let go

Cause the signature isnt spelled the same as the person’s name in different documents that i looked at last week so something isnt right. This story isnt a humblebrag because MOST times my brain does this is for anything, and that’s not really great or productive
