I’m a big fan of Endless Ocean 2 which came out in 2009 but you need to use Dolphin to run it on PC (also torrent the disc files unless you can find a disc copy). Also it’s still the best diving game out there which is kind of crazy considering how old it is

That is an ad, they just posted it instead of paying LinkedIn

Step 1: Read How to make friends and influence people. Step 2: Cry, bc half the book is “listen and pay attention”

People certainly code as a hobby or have personal projects. But I wouldn’t say reading a textbook is fun for me, if I want to make a personal app then I’ll just learn what I need as I go.

I’m glad this is top comment, I thought I was weird for a moment there

I remember a similar discussion I had when an article labelled Kanye West as neurodivergent when he came out as bipolar. Part of it felt true, owning your mental illness as part of you is a part of labelling yourself neurodivergent. But I want to draw some separation between the symptoms and my personality. Plus I don’t want to glorify symptoms that cause a lot of people problems (including me). Having ADHD means I think differently than other people/have different life experiences and I like to see those as the main parts of neurodivergence.

My ability to hyperfocus is part of my ADHD but I feel like my ability to connect concepts in unlikely ways that other people don’t is part of neurodivergence. Also my ability to notice spiders on ceilings (it’s totally not cuz I’m looking all over the place). I just recommended a way for a student on how to take notes from videos because it’s something I struggle with so much and I notice where the difficulty is where other people miss it because it doesn’t affect them as much.
