#psych question

And so I said that there was no way in hell I could be friends with someone who could side with their kid after that, only to be lectured that “you should always take your kids side no matter what.”

So I’m asking tumblr,

*they as in the parent.

why do people feel drawn to stories focused on a friend group of outcasts that band together to eat the rich, kill the snitch, and be a chaotic bitch

like why is it such a thing

As a note before going on, just wanna say these are my observations of myself, so keep that in mind.

Basically, series of events of the past several years led to me finally starting ADHD meds a few months ago. So far I've only missed one dose (got distracted when I normally refill my meds and missed the dose the next day) and I noticed something.

Everything was more muted the day I didn't take it. My concentration was crap. And everything was quieter? Despite work being more busy than it has been? Maybe I was just noticing things less. Which brings me to my wonderings.

After researching and testing myself for autism during the months of quarantine like I mentioned in my previous posts, I've been more aware of myself. So, like, is it weird to think that in controlling my ADHD is making my autism more apparent? Or is it just cause I'm masking less? Or both?

I was diagnosed years ago with ADHD- inattentive type, formerly known as ADD. My current theory, applied to myself, is that having such crappy awareness of my surroundings "balanced out" my autism.
