Being attached to my ADHD brain and how I connect with other people, "being present" is not my biggest problem. If I am faced with a situation (the same way Trevor Noah is describing. . . ) I need to figure out how I am feeling on my end before considering how I make someone else feel. To this effect, I am acting on things in a neurodivergent manner. My point is there is a dynamic involved, that I think makes another person feel validated. (Rewind . . ) my problem is in feeling validated myself. Not the kind of validation everyone wants as validation. (i.e. "I want person 'x' to like me.) I literally do not feel the need for it.
I have never been thought of as a person that doesn't pay attention. (I am basing this last claim on how I make others feel. . .)
The problem is in staying in the moment, as I listen, without editing what my thoughts are, 1- why I am in this moment, 2 - without predicting the outcome of my next thought. How I function executively per se?
I hope that made sense.

Dr. Hamdani,
I Always thought I Was a better auditory learner than one that reads to plagiarize (from memory). IS this different from APD??

Auadhd here I can't do subtitles as I focus on those and not the show/movie
my rebuttal:
Not sure I am right in saying this, but being able to process what is being done (as sensory experience withstands it), that - 1 - interpreting something happening in real time (auditory processing) together with - 2 -reading what is happening (subtitles) enhances my ability to learn from the source or material. The more my sensory experience is elevated, the better for an ADHDer.
I hope that made sense?
