@lifewithtrees It’s probably partly pathological demand avoidance—that and executive dysfunction are the downfall of many of us who are neurodivergent.

@lifewithtrees @actuallyadhd Certainly the abilism we have to overcome. It's hard sometimes to think of ourselves this way, when we have spent so long trying not to and all because, without knowing our neurotype, we thought we should be just like everyone else.

@lifewithtrees @actuallyadhd Some parts resonate. Personally I feel that using something like this is just building a tool/system that lets me put my attention on more important things. The issue I have though is that timers and alarms don't really give me a sense of the time passing, so much as suddenly surprise me as though I'm being yelled at with "THIS INSTANT YOU SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE AND YOU"RE WRONG IF YOU TRY TO FINISH OFF OR CONTINUE." I like timers that show a gradually diminishing circle and automations that gradually dim lights to give me an intuitive sense of how much time I have left, not just a "ZERO TIME. NOW!!!!" I think it's also a context shifting thing, which I've heard ADHD people often have more trouble with. #ADHD
