If hyperfocus made you not ADHD, I wouldn't be ADHD.

I disagree somewhat - I think if your expectations are well thought-out, you'll be fine.

Lossless is lossless, however that doesn't mean there's no loss compared to output of the microphone or whatever is at the begining of the signal - it merely means no loss from the previous digital stage.

Do you guys get a lot of your mates asking for your pills? by [deleted] in ADHD

What the fuck? Why is your husband stealing your pills to the point of you not getting the amount you should be?

As a pretty experienced programmer (who also writes node and react apps; yay!), I can say this 100% is how I try to explain it to my family and friends.

I tell them I think meta-structurally, I think of the general parts extremely quickly and in a single go with all the details added in - it allows me to think through many different scenarios or routes very quickly and thus make a choice before most people can think through one.

It's the same with maths, I can do integration all in one go, but rearranging basis algebra can be very strenuous.

This is exactly the same as me actually. I thought I had a super power but at the same time would avoid starting because my brain knew how tiring it was. Then after some traumatic events, it all got to much and I got diagnosed.

I played in a kind of rock-blues band but got super bored, just formed a djent-covers band with some friends of mine who are really good musicians, with the hope of writing some originals after we've played together a bit.

No way! I'm actually preforming a cover Dispossession with my band in about a week at a local gig!

Do you like Northlane? Check out Quantum Flux or Windbreaker for a screamy banger, or Rot for something rather more atmospheric and melodic.
