so did any of you freaks also sort of enjoy church as a child because you hyperfixated on some of the new testament bible stories, like as works of fiction. not fiction in a 2004 reddit way but fiction as in compelling storytelling media that may or may not might also be a true story. as if an intense fixation couldn't already be a borderline spiritual experience in itself, also thinking these figures were real and present and celestial yet human beacons of love and life and compassion and hope. i think maybe every monk was on the spectrum

#LMFAOOO #i say on the spectrum but i'm talking about being adhd #but the adhd hyperfixation and autistic special interest fixation can be indistinguishable at times #like copying down a book over and over with fancy calligraphy and illustrations because you love it so much #is something an adhd or autistic would do. that particular behavior pattern is shared across the board #that's maintaining a wikipedia article at the VERY least #just being in a monks study with inks and tomes working away on your special passion is very favorable for any adhd or autistic #particularly if youre hyperactivity is of the mental type not physical
