That read like an extremely cohesive thought, to me!

“Dogs don’t know what they look like. Dogs don’t even know what size they are. No doubt it’s our fault, for breeding them into such weird shapes and sizes. My brother’s dachshund, standing tall at eight inches, would attack a Great Dane in the full conviction that she could tear it apart. When a little dog is assaulting its ankles the big dog often stands there looking confused — “Should I eat it? Will it eat me? I am bigger than it, aren’t I?” But then the Great Dane will come and try to sit in your lap and mash you flat, under the impression that it is a Peke-a-poo… Cats know exactly where they begin and end. When they walk slowly out the door that you are holding open for them, and pause, leaving their tail just an inch or two inside the door, they know it. They know you have to keep holding the door open. That is why their tail is there. It is a cat’s way of maintaining a relationship. Housecats know that they are small, and that it matters. When a cat meets a threatening dog and can’t make either a horizontal or a vertical escape, it’ll suddenly triple its size, inflating itself into a sort of weird fur blowfish, and it may work, because the dog gets confused again — “I thought that was a cat. Aren’t I bigger than cats? Will it eat me?” … A lot of us humans are like dogs: we really don’t know what size we are, how we’re shaped, what we look like. The most extreme example of this ignorance must be the people who design the seats on airplanes. At the other extreme, the people who have the most accurate, vivid sense of their own appearance may be dancers. What dancers look like is, after all, what they do.”

— Ursula Le Guin, in The Wave in the Mind (via fortooate)

My mother with (probably) ADHD: Help I get focused super hard on one project or business for a few months, spend lots of money starting up said interest, then drop it before 6 months is up. Also I put all my effort into studying for a career I'm good at but has turned out to be super unfulfilling to me personally.

My sister with (probably) ADHD: Help I have difficulty experiencing empathy and get angry far too quickly. I especially can't handle scolding or reprimandation, no matter how light the issue is. Also Noises Are Bad.

Me, diagnosed as a child with ADHD: Help I experience extreme hyperfixations on fictional worlds and characters to the point of learning everything I can about the making of said media, studying the intricate lore within the world, or picking apart a character's psychology and finding headcanons where there probably aren't supposed to be any, and can channel my euphoria from said hyperfixations to help with school worl only sometimes. Also Noise Sensitivity and Sentimental Clutter Hoarding.

it's so stupid, adhd is a dozen vaguely related neuroses in a trench coat, including such popular hits as

Can't Fucking Sleep Disorder

Can't Fucking Wake Up Disorder

What Is A Focus

Oops I Did It* Again (*Spent Thirteen Hours On Youtube And Forgot To Eat Or Drink)

The World Is Too Noise Today

All My Friends Hate Me (I Deduced This From A Three Word Text)

I Forgot About [thing] Literally As Soon As I Turned Around

...and they decided to call it Trouble Sitting Still Disorder?????
