    When I went through my Rubik’s cube hyperfixation phase, I got really good at it over the course of a month or two. I could consistently solve a 3x3 in under a minute, and my record was something like 40 seconds.

    Then I put it down for a few weeks and could not solve it when I picked it back up. I never got back into it, lmao

      I once perfected the ability to roll a quarter across my fingers. I worked on it for months and months. I was getting pretty fast at it. An opportunity came to show off the trick to one of my son’s friends. I pulled a quarter out of my pocket with such confidence. Then proceeded to fumble the fuck out of it. *sigh. That was embarrassing.

      ADHD is different for many of us. Suns of us share many symptoms, while not sharing many others. It probably wouldn’t hurt to get diagnosed if you think you have it.

      Edit: made a typo, and I’m standing by it!

        I have thought about it. It was not really a thing when I was a kid but they would call kids like me introverted. Honestly if I do im functional and doing well enough so like any other medical thing I would get help if it get to that point. I do wonder though because I see so many things folks at least seem to think is associated with it that is spot on for me.
