So the really interesting thing I'm finding with this is the diversity of people identifying.
It seems to span age, race, gender, nationality and language - that feels really rare to me, esp when talking about communication which traditionally varies wildly across demos.

Reach on this is relatively low, but engagement is over 20% which is massive (average is 0.5%). The Rt:Like ratio is at 1:2 - social media hat on, this tell me the post is highly 'relatable'.

Like normally, I'm v aware that a lot of my 'this is adhd' musings will be strongly influenced by my whiteness, gender etc.
Like, Hygiene. I know that I, as a white man, have a lot more societal privilege that allows me to get away with, say, forgetting to shower for a few days.

But, wen I look at the RTs and qrts, it might not the case here (anecdotal).
I don't think anything is universal - but I think this might speak to an identifiable trait across everyone with relevant adhd behavioural clusters/developmental experience - regardless of demographic.

Which is to say (as the qt'd jokes) could this *actually* be part of a diagnostic process in some way?

Be super interested to hear from any #adhd psychs/counsellors/coaches/researchers/advocates on their experience with this relating to those they work with. Or indeed themselves. Specifically regarding commonality within specific demos.
