Are you good at concentrating your attention? Of course you are. That’s something that people with ADHD, Aspergers etc can do better than anybody else.

Concentration is a magic power. Attention is the axis of reality. Yes.

That’s a power that you have naturally. You can do it better than everybody else. And with practice you can get even better. There is no limit.

There were groups of people who dedicated their whole life to seeing how deep they could go with concentration. (and there are other things that you can do with your attention too. Things that are even better than concentration.)

For lack of a better term let’s call these people “wizards”.

Their preferred recruits were people with ADHD, Aspergers etc.

Because people with ADHD, Aspergers etc are very good at concentrating their attention.

    And I’m the bad person?

    For making this post (and the one in the autism community) in the first place? Not really.

    For refusing to listen when you are told by almost all replies to your posts that you’re completely off base? For digging your heels in and being combative instead? For implying through all of this behavior that you understand what everyone else is going through better than they do? Yes. Absolutely.

    You’re being obtuse at this point. The correct course of action would be to acknowledge that you obviously misunderstood what people with ADHD and autism go through and resolve to do better in the future. Then you can leave the situation graciously knowing that you’ve retained your dignity.
