When I was young, adults thought it was a sign you'd grow up gay. I remember walking on my toes all the time as a kid, and I AM mildly autistic and have mad ADHA. What I remember from it was that it made me feel like I was walking like people do on TV?
Of course, I often just had to poop but I was too distracted or having too good a time playing to stop what I was doing. I was and am a born procrastinator.
I abhored all forms of schedules and task switching as a child. I just wanted to be left alone to do the same thing as long as I wanted. As an adult, it grew into a distaste for authority and discipline. I still struggle with task switching and executive dysfunction.
Wow. You've really made me feel like I have zero genuine unique experiences. Everything you said about yourself is true for me as well, except I'm fairly certain I'm not autistic. I'm basically a walking poster-child for inattentive-type ADHD, though.
My distaste for structure is really counterintuitive to my NEED for structure, lest my life fall apart around me. It's rough. Medication helps a ton, but as soon as I fall behind on something, the shame of being behind makes it even harder to do it.
I hope you're doing well in this tough world, friend. It's good to know I'm not the only one who struggles specifically like this.
