ADHD, a Lifelong Struggle (2018)
What I'm struck with reading this post, and the comments, is that all we know is how our own brain works. None of us can share the thoughts and experiences of someone else.<p>As far as I know, my brain is "normal" (whatever that means.) But I still think I have plenty of problems concentrating, forget what I'm doing in the instant, get hyperfocused on some topic and get very aggravated if I'm interrupted, etc. How do we know whether my problems concentrating are worse than someone else's? Maybe everyone's brain has the same innate issues but some people have just happened to develop coping strategies that work better for them?<p>It just seems really difficult to have a rational discussion about something where literally no one has a shared experience with anyone else.
