ColdFire5, jusy to clarify when I wrote “run-on sentances” I meant rambling too (which you just confirmeed , lol).

I found your challenges felt very familiar. Especially ignoring reminders. That drives me crazy.

Also the “selective focus”. I’ve always done that. I recently read an article on motivation, which had some tips for helping get motivated (like personalizing the task). I just haven’t felt motivated to implement them, lol.

The hearing thing is a filter thing I think. Its not that you can’t hear but that you hear so much, you can’t decide where to focus. It helps to be looking at the person or thing you want to focus on (also helps to be interested in the discussion). I think its the same as the “inattentive”. Personally I’m not ignoring things, I just can’t focus on one because there’s too much stimuli. (a related story: when I was a kid, my dad got stopped at customs because the customs agent thought I had shifty eyes. Of course they were shifting I was visually exploring my new surroundings)
