So, I was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 6, but for a while now I've suspected that I probably also have ADHD. I was wondering how many of you can relate to this specific experience I have, and which of the two disorders (or both) you have.
I have a lot of small passions, things I know a lot about and can really get into. Some examples of these are vintage computers, old versions of Minecraft, the Civilization series, typewriters, twisty puzzles, analog media formats, D&D, etc. I've heard this phenomenon referred to as "microfixation," and I think this applies well. I'm usually only primarily fixated on one of these until something in my life reminds me of another one and I transition to the next microfixation for a few weeks to a few months. Occasionally I pick up a new microfixation, but usually I go back to things that have interested me in the past.
Is this characteristic of ADHD, autism, or both?
Yeah, I definitely get the idea of "they're both good in their own ways". Personally I'm an elitist snob who thinks that everything after Civ 4 was no good but I'll still play myself playing even the weirder games like Beyond Earth because while I don't believe they hold up as well, I enjoy the varied experience
I just like to see if leftists/neurodivergent people tend to have a preference in civ games. From what I can tell leftists seem to much more attuned to Civ 4
