I know this is a common experience with ADHD, but somehow I'm the opposite. Visual media makes me hyper focus. As a kid, I was usually the only one still awake at the end of a late night movie. If there's a tv on and someone is trying to talk to me, it takes a lot of effort to focus on what's being said to me. I can't put things on in the background unless it's just music. Does anyone else experience this?
Definitely me. I'm big time into movies because when I was a kid my parents, my brother and I would all watch movies together. Legitimately like 3 times a week.
I was ALWAYS the last one awake. I'd get up, put my brother to bed, and let my parents sleep.
I could also quote the movie exceedingly well even after one watch at a young age - just because the world around me basically ceased to exist when a flick was on.
Mom would sometimes wake up and go to bed in their bedroom on her own and I wouldn't notice, with her sitting 5 feet from me.
