A lot of the “traits” I had that I connected to my ADHD was ironically not from the internet but from this book by Michele Novotni, PhD “What Does Everybody Else Know That I Don’t”. When I did, I functioned way better. If I learned earlier I wouldn’t have suffered and lost lifelong opportunities.
I’m actually writing a book on this. Take RSD, the new darling of ADHD “influencers”, for example: the concept that fear of rejection is an ADHD trait, and that non ADHD people ignore rejection is so preposterous it makes me mad, for example.
You start at the beginning. The original series and ‘The Next Generation’ should keep you occupied for a while. The movies are mostly bleh, maybe choose by RottenTomatoes. ‘Deep Space Nine’ and ‘Voyager’ seem to be alright, haven’t watched them myself.
Also, watching ‘Red Dwarf’ after ‘TNG’ works splendidly.
charcuterie: love it but it’s a lot more difficult now that both meat and milk hurt tummy :(
mechanical keyboards: now this one I don’t get, personally. i need my peripherals to be as quiet and compact as possible for sensory filtering and portability
i could get on board with a quiet compact mechanical keyboard. i sort of assumed they were necessarily loud and chunky lol
would love to 3D print myself a mold to make a full coverage (top and bottom) silicone rubber sleeve for it. so that when i inevitably spill something on it, it has a chance to survive
Oh dammit.
Is there anything, like, ANYTHING AT ALL that is just my personality and not ADHD?!?!?
No. Any quirky personality trait you have is now adhd. The internet amateur psychologists said so.

Lots more in the book.
That’s so ADHD of you
raises hand please tell me liking star trek isn’t an ADHD symptom
It depends…
How many rewatches?
… is there a wrong number? We can forgive people for discovering it late in life and not watching it enough I think.
I haven’t watched since it went to paramount+.
Looking to watch Star Trek for the first time ever… Where do I start? Should I avoid anything?

DS9 is an absolute banger. Probably my favorite series.
But season 1 of DS9 is brutal to get through.
I like The Next Generation, I think it’s a great entry point.
The consensus is to grit through much of the first season, after which it gets good.
Ahem. I too, like Star Trek.
What are your feelings on charcuterie and mechanical keyboards?
Listen here you little shit
If you look into ergonomic keyboards, vast majority of mechanical keyboards look like trash afterwards.

You can do quiet and compact, mechanical, believe it or not! In that case, in my opinion, it would be all about the tactile sensations.

That’s my experience in this /c/community too.
