Today I saw someone say that having mental tricks for math (ie 9x7 is 10x7-7 = 70-7 = 63) was an adhd and autism thing. We were literally taught them in school 😭

dawg they're just saying they're autistic and happened to see where things were heading (prior to most people based on their description), they weren't diagnosing themselves off of knowing history

I never said they diagnosed themselves? Why did you assume that? My point was that pattern recognition is not a skill that is unique to people with autism and ADHD lol. Everything does not relate to autism or ADHD, and personally I feel it’s harmful to pretend like random things do because it takes away from the actual symptoms and struggles that come with these diagnoses.

I explained above why I feel like this kind of behavior is harmful.
