Selective focus.

Commentary

Seriously, don't bring a pony to a candy-pizza-video game store.

That's just irresponsible.

"BEHOLD! The super fun corner that contains everything you've ever dreamed of! Don't think about it, though. You need to sit in the opposite corner and focus on responsible, altruistic things. Yes, the super fun corner will be in full view at all times, but if you're a good person, you'll be able to focus entirely on the good, boring things."

...That started with me writing a fun bit, and turned into me sort of venting about how pre-college school felt. A lot of college courses felt WAY different because I had more say in what I studied, though there was still a few courses I had to take in which my brain sort of fizzled from lack of interest.

Given when I was in school, I'm not sure if it's weird that not one educator brought up the possibility of ADHD, but it feels SO WEIRD in retrospect that no one brought up the possibility of ADHD.

ADHD is so common a diagnosis it's almost taken for granted.

Some Ed

For what it's worth, when I was in the 5th grade, our school system started doing testing for autism in 4th graders. The way they described autism, it sounded really familiar. They talked about adding more testing for autism in the 8th grade, just in case they missed people, and i looked forward to when they'd do that... and it turned out to be when I was in the 9th grade. Because they actually weren't trying to find people with autism. They were trying to say they were handling this new concern people had. The community clearly wanted them to do something about it, but they were determined to do as little as they could get away with. And that's basically how I went until I was 50 before I actually was diagnosed with autism. I mean, if I actually desperately needed an official diagnosis I could've gotten it earlier. But I went into IT, and there are so many people on spectrum in IT, accommodations for people on spectrum are actually pretty standard just for people in the industry. It's my understanding that ADHD diagnosis tended to be pretty similar around that same time - including the bit where I probably could've gotten a diagnosis at any point just by going to the right kind of doctor and asking to be tested for it. I don't really know, I've never actually been diagnosed with it. But small doses of caffeine help me sleep, which is as I understand it a fairly good indication that if I were to ask to be tested, they'd say I had it.
