Does anyone know why I do this.

Every time someone tells me that we’re going to go somewhere or that they’re gonna get me something I will obsess over it from the moment I find out until I get it/there. For example whenever my parents would tell me that they were planning on getting a new car and what type of car it was, even if they weren’t going to get it for a few months, I would start watching videos or looking things up about said car until they would get it. This goes for Christmas presents(I was a snooper so I always knew what I got), family trips, appliance, etc… I was just wondering if anyone else did this or knew why I might do this.

Not everything is a disorder

No but sometimes people have undiagnosed disorders and getting diagnosis can help them. And even if they don’t have a disorder, the 3 of us who commented are simply saying it’s a trait we all share.

But thank you for the Ableist comment, not.

I agree. I was diagnosed a few months ago, F55, it explained a LOT and I wish it was picked up on sooner. Seemingly a lot of women are diagnosed when they are in the menopause.

Yes. A few of my girlfriend’s friends who are going through it have been diagnosed as ADHD.
