I found this interesting. I’m diagonsed with ADD and carry all of the tell tale signs. My mind is geared to constantly fill in—like I need to over predict and guess what someone is going to say. When I watch a movie I am constantly hunting for the plot twist even if there is not one. I also have a higher than normal error rate because my mind tends to come to a resolution on scant evidence and I need to slow myself down and often double or triple check. I’ve often felt that autism was on the other end of the spectrum. Everything needed to be explicit, complete, and literal.
- forgotmysn 9y agoI relate strongly to your comment, specifically about the need to over-predict and be wrong. With my ADHD, I think my lack of a verbal 'filter' also contributes to that error rate, where my brain has a tendency to express the first thought that pops in it, rather than the best one :/
