Hey, Big Al, why do all the people in my life with ADHD have such a weird sense of humor?

Oh, that’s ‘cause we’re all super understimulated.

What does that even mean?

Imagine that the inside of your brain had an itch that you really couldn’t scratch, but that itch was actually boredom, but that boredom was actually pain.

Oh, I see, yeah, that- that helps me none, zero at all. It also sounds pretty terrifying.

No, it- it’s really not a big deal, you just kinda have to learn to restructure your life around it, including comedy.

Okay, so how does it affect the way that you interpret comedy?

So a side effect of understimulation is that your brain is constantly and more often than others’ active. You’re always thinking, you’re always analyzing, you’re always trying to problem solve. Because of exactly that, normal comedy and normal humor is a bit predictive, and doesn’t really land with people with ADHD.

So what does land with people with ADHD?

Stark, abrupt chaos. Because it cannot be predicted, nor calculated.

Okay, so what would that even look like?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Okay, why?

The Fitnessgram Pacer Test is-

That landed for me

Shonen authors writing a hetero romance: They bicker… But… They KISS?!?!?! Revolutionary.

Shonen authors writing two male “best friends”: They are friends, partners, family. They complete each-other. They’ve been together for so long it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins, and they know each-other so intimately that they can predict every action the other will take. They’re opposites and yet they go together like a pair of gloves, they’re yin and yang, they fill each-other’s weaknesses and boost each-other’s strength. They wouldn’t be alive without one another, they wouldn’t want to be alive without one another. Even when they’re on different paths, they trust each-other blindly. Even as enemies they are willing to put their lives in each-other’s hands. Their life goals involve one-another, all the roads in their life lead to their partner. A part of one will always be with the other, no matter how far apart the fates carry them.

I’m sorry I can’t read that book you recommended. Yeah, no, it’s just that beginning something new that I don’t know if I’m in the mood for is to me what plastic bags are to horses and if you play 30 seconds of an unfamiliar audiobook I WILL spook and break two of my legs.

I can’t even bring myself to read books I WANT to read, what the fuck makes anyone think they have more power over me than the dopamine-sucking rat inside my own brain? You say a movie is super good and want me to watch it so we can talk about it? No. That’s homework now. My brain selects what is Acceptable based on something between ornithomancy and letting a cat knock over some cups. Nobody understands it. I am ruled by it. Doctors refuse to adequately medicate me for it. I will watch the latest Pixar movie when and only when you prop my corpse in front of the television and the coins fall off my eyes.

Yes this is about ADHD.
