It’s a fun subject to talk about regardless. The final panel makes it funny, sure, but I imagine a lot of people like discussing their variety of social quirks with others… and this definitely provides the opportunity.
Alternatively, another social quirk that exists is responding before fully processing something… replying to an email / comic / thread before reading the content completely… THAT is typically a behavior seen in people with ADD.
I have ADD and still do this sometimes verbally. I hate myself for it because it’s so annoying. Ever been around someone that constantly finishes other people’s sentences? Probably ADD.
But have you ever been around someone who constantly finishes other people’s sentences wrong? It’s funny at first but not for long, holy shit it’s annoying. And they do it because they want to move the conversation along, but in reality they are slowing it down by forcing others to repeat themselves, correct, or clarify.
Yeah. For some (this isn’t excusing it but explaining some of it:) the finishing a statement is ‘urgent’ because you unconsciously have trained yourself to handle a fleeting idea immediately or potentially lose it to the noise again. Pre medication I moved to a notepad and as someone spoke I’d just leave response breadcrumbs for when they finished. Worked reasonably well.
Try reading to the final panel.
They can’t. There were eyes in that panel, and therefore their eyes looked away.
I did. What I said still applies.

Insightful. I just got diagnosed like four months ago so I’ve got a lot of unmasking and learning to do.
What? This is technically written so it doesn’t apply to him.
