I found this interesting....found it this morning while sippin coffee. I sometimes don't like these videos out of OVER-SIMPLIFICATION....but here it is. If you're terrible at finishing videos & just want the "cliff's notes"-Check out the line graph at the end.

I have watched this video before. I know the video is about differences, but one of the key similarities between ADHD and autism is single attention - also known as monotropism. There is an interesting article which explains many aspects of autism in relation to the mono tropic cognitive style.

I'm supposed to complete my 11th class this semester to finish my degree....I've done 10 so far bc I was driven/obsessed with my degree. Now that it feels "in my mind" that I already have it.....my brains like-why focus on this? Brain negotiations will take place.....my brain is tired of running this particular marathon. Talking to you guys...much more interesting.
