    I am ADHD af, not the same thing… but yes…

    Info dumping in person is really NOT HELPFUL most of the time for people, but when you do it online in a well written comment than actually well nobody has to read the whole thing right then right? Somebody can skim through and pick out the parts that are useful.

    Unfortunately, I am driven to info dump constantly, I don’t know if I would describe it as “filling up my imagination” though I can certainly get along with that framing of it.

    I am an artist, when I see blank spaces I make a mess and see what happens, as all artists do. I think for people who have unusual minds, places like here are gardens where ideas,feelings and movements can happen that would have been repeatedly strangled by the normative demands of societal interactions in alternative, already established mediums of communication and connection.

    When you have to work to fit in, when you are acutely aware of how unsustainable and incongruent society is because of how you think differently and are constantly hurt for it, that gives you a capacity to imagine entire alternative universes out of thin air that are better. You don’t need to think it out, it just starts to come out in bursts of creative and imaginative energy that refuse to be denied any longer by the status quo…
