It only becomes a disorder when it’s treated as one or when trauma turns it into one,

It sure became one after a while because I was a freshwater fish in saltwater.

I tried to discuss this with the woman too - where it could be we are treating it as a disorder, when it is just the way the person is and that might not align with what we want of them. She was not keen. She literally said, she is so looking forward to getting the medication for them.

The other funny thing is, she said that if she has them for the day, to get space, she sits on her phone mindlessly scrolling.

but what was broken wasn’t my attention, it was the pain of having to strangle all my gifts and trying to be the adult in a world full of grown children

Look around at the world today, decades later, and the adults are even more immature.
