Does this resonate with anyone?

I'm distractable and indecisive and hardly ever get a damn thing done. However, if I decide something's important, I single focus on it and persevere far past the point a normal person would have given up.

Once I decide something's important, I'm infinitely brave. Even if my rational mind knows it's not worth dying over, I will risk my life over stupid shit simply because I never checked my head and changed course when it was appropriate.

I think most autists would resonate with that. It maybe just the AuDHDers. But yeah. Hyper-focus can be a trip.

I was the sort of kid that thought I could fly, lucky I didn't try from higher than I did. I was an explorer, out walking the city all day at whatever age, where I remember doing that we moved from when I was ten.

I landed on my head a few times and surely hurt my neck and I am feeling it now (besides all my other theorizing about that it was just that wrong shape since birth. I should dig out that X-ray).

I mean, I'm completely alone because I'm fearless of that and unwilling to put up with bullshit, right ❤️
