#id like to say he has a mild/situation-dependent sense of RSD but i havent researched that one yet properly

[evisconti]

saw talk of it on the dash so have a few adhd ercole tings !!

he   stims   ,         though   it’s   very   ..      repressed.      he’s   had   it   damn   near   trained   out   of   him   ,      being   told   every   time      (   by   his   parents   )   he   did   a   stim   that   it   was   either   annoying   or   distracting   or   not   gentlemanly   ,      or   just   hit   over   the   head   for   being   too   excited   and   hyper.      his   stims   often   consist   of   patting   /   slapping   /   clapping      (   impact   based   )   ,      messing   with   his   mustache   has   a   sensory   thing   ,      as   well   as   rubbing   his   palms   on   rough   /   ragged   surfaces      (   usually   clothes   )   ..      there’s   also   wiggling   but   that   is   not   as   frequent   nor   as   satisfactory.

fidgeting   and   attention   wandering.         he’s   usually   very   uninterested   in   what   other   people   say   or   do   ,      and   him   not   paying   attention   isn’t   fully   just   because   he   doesn’t   care.      unless   it’s   entertaining   him   ,      he’ll   just   subconsciously   start   trying   to   look   for   something   else   to   give   him   excitement   /   give   him   dat   dopamine.      his   unforgiveness   about   this   is   what   makes   it   so   rude   most   of   the   time   ..      since   he   literally   just   stops   listening   and   starts   thinking   and   looking   around   for   something   else   to   interest   him.      and   he   fidgets   ,      usually   with   his   hands   or   with   his   mustache.

no   filter.      this   goes   without   saying   ,      really.      brain   and   emotions   go   too   fast   for   him   to   even   care   to   think   twice.      this   is   worsened   when   he   doesn’t   care   about   hurting   other   people’s   feelings   half   the   time      (   unrelated   to   his   adhd   ,      that’s   just   cuz   he’s   a   dicc   )   .

impulsive.         this   is   also   related   to   the   no   filter   thing   ,      but   he   is   very   very   impulsive   ,      doing   things   just   because   he   thinks   it’ll   be   fun.      this   is   usually   prevalent   in   all   his   bullying   ,      doing   it   only   because   he   feels   like   it   and   it   makes   him   excited   (   among   other   things   ,      this   is   just   another   reason   he   does   it   so   much   and   so   often   and   so   brutally   ).      this   also   leads   into   his   impatience.      self   explanatory.

hypersensitivity/emotional   dysregulation.         as   much   as   he   claims   he   doesn’t   have   emotions   or   doesn’t   feel   bc   that’s   a      ‘   girly   ’      thing   ,      he’s   actually   very   led   by   his   emotions   !   a   big   reason   why   he’s   so   so   quick   to   anger   or   lashing   out   is   because   of   his   emotional   dysregulation   that   stems   from   his   adhd   ..      this   also   relates   to   him   not   really   having   any   middle   ground   ,      he   can   only   seem   to   switch   between   extremes   emotionally-wise.

hyperfixations/hyperfocus.         he’s   definitely   very   prone   to   fixating   on   things   ,      for   example   ,      training   for   the   portorosso   cup   is   something   he   gets   very   involved   and   engrossed   in   ,      to   the   point   it   gets   painfully   competitive   for   him   ..      which   i   think   can   play   into   a   reason   as   to   why   he   was   so   annoyingly   dedicated   to   continuously   signing   up   for   it.      he   also   was   very   on   top   of/focused   on   catching   a   sea   monster   in   the   movie   ,      dragging   ciccio   and   guido   basically   every   single   day   to   spend   hours   looking   for   one.      he   also   has   something   of   a   fixation   on   fashion   and   all   things   that   encompass   it.      he   thinks   it’s   interesting   !!

addiction.      i’ll   keep   this   one   brief   ,      but   he’s   got   a   bit   of   a   sex   addiction.      among   all   these   other   reasons   playing   into   him   being   hypersexual   ,      adhd   is   one   of   them   ..      it’s   one   of   the   few   things   that   give   him   a   thrill   and   because   of   his   impulsivity   ,      it’s   only   getting   worse   ,      engaging   in   more   risky   and   extreme   stuff   ..      of   course   ,      this   isn’t   the   ONLY   reason   ,      as   i   said   but   it’s   another   factor   playing   into   why   it’s   so   prevalent   in   his   life.

tendency   to   raptor   arms.         also   pretty   self   explanatory   ..      holding   his   arms   in   that   position   just   comes   natural   to   him   ,      and   it's   comfortable.      it   comes   about   as   natural   as   doing   the   pinched   fingers   thing.
