Please don’t ask a second time as well because now I’m just gonna open two copies.
Since young people today won’t know what “internet explorer” is…

Lmfao I forgot about this one haha
Just like everyone forgot about Opera? :-P
A friend, who I suspect has ADHD, once did this to me when I was explaining some complex stuff to her. I could not possibly imagine that someone got that explanation, if they fell off the thought train halfway through. So, I asked her about it and she told me that this is how she always processes sentences. She just buffers the words in RAM until the sentence is done. Then she slurps the words up and figures out the meaning.
I’m guessing, her brain is just really fast, but then runs off and does other thoughts while she’s supposed to listen, so she trained all her life to cope via buffering instead.
The way I imagine it is like a car going through a roundabout and missing the exit and taking another or sometimes multiple turns before getting out.

This is how I used to think until I was shown that no, this is a problem that >80% of the population doesn’t have, and no, misplacing your coffee mug an average of 3 times during your workday is not typical.
Only 3? This guy is organized
It’s called Auditory Processing Delay, it’s pretty common in people with ADHD. I get it myself. It’s kind of like your attention is elsewhere and you “record” what somebody’s said and then replay it and process it once you’re done with your current train of thought.
I’ve always had this problem and didn’t know it had a name. I also am 99% sure I have inattentive add. I really need to get an official diagnosis
My partner just… waits… now… rather than repeating themselves, because they know full well I do this.
It’s very annoying when I legitimately didn’t catch some of it.
Made me think of Shoresy, how he asks a question, and then says “huh?” as soon as the person starts responding lol
that I got a lot, even if I don’t really have ADHD.
