      Yeah. The lockpicking tools I use and want to use and can’t use is just nOrMaL bEhAvIoR u guiyzz!!

      We have ADHD. One of the hallmarks is hyperfocus. We will, several times a year, sometimes a month, hyperfocus on a “hobby” and do it every moment we’re awake and not at work or school (to the neglect of eating or bathing or sleep) and then, at random, be unable to do it anymore to the point where we can’t, even if we want to.

      This is an ADHD community. When you see us complaining about “normal” things, we simply aren’t putting in the thirty caveats that explain why this thing we’re complaining about isn’t “normal,” because we don’t have to explain ourselves to other people with our conditon.

      And there is nothing more annoying than hanging out in a safe space for your condition and having people constantly show up to try to explain that this is “normal.” It’s not. We know it’s not. There’s books about it. Studies about it. We just shouldn’t have to explain the background details of what makes this abnormal every goddamn time!
