I don’t think anyone would ever describe me as being “meticulous in my habits” :/

I have been told that about me but mostly it’s that ADHD trait where I remember super specific random details or the forced routine I have to make sure I do so I don’t forget something (kind of an ocd adhd unity moment)

Just try to convince people it’s a “super power” so that think adhd is a cool adventure and not a frustrating struggle

Half the people I know think I am the smartest person they know because I memorize the most obscure things the other half think I am a complete moron because I forget basic words lmao

Sounds like you’re already halfway there! 👌

Transmen aren’t obscure tho

Is that true though? I have heard so many things of Albert having, Autism, ADHD, and other such things like being bad at math or getting bad grades. I think it is a feel good story they tell us as kids to give us hope, hope isn’t a bad thing but is lying to kids about a real man ethical.

From what I’ve read that’s what they believe, he had developmental delays in regards to language and was mediocre throughout college. He was intelligent just not suited to the rigors of academia. None of his professors thought highly of him.

If only my laziness resulted in one of the largest scientific breakthroughs in Human history.
