How four types of readers experience my articles:

Neurotypical: Reads it start to finish. Thinks "huh, interesting." Moves on. Never thinks about it again.

ADHD: Opens it. Reads the first three paragraphs. Gets hit with a wave of recognition. Opens four tabs to research something I mentioned. Forgets the article exists. Finds it three days later and finishes it in a hyperfocused 2am spiral.

AuDHD: Reads the whole thing in one sitting while simultaneously cataloging every place they disagree with my framing. Sends it to three people with a 400-word annotation. Thinks about it for six days.

Gifted/2e: Reads it, feels something they can't name, and closes the tab before they have to sit with it.

I write 3,000-word articles about brains that struggle to hold context for 3,000 words. The irony isn't lost on me. But if you made it to the end of yesterday's piece: I see you. That cost you something.
