As someone who sees all of the individual blocks and takes great satisfaction in clicking each individual block into place, this diagram is pretty great... and is one more tool in the toolkit of helping me understand how some of my other friends' fascinating brains work differently than mine.

(It's not enough just to have neurodiverse friends; it's important to keep their perspectives and such on your mind)

@deviantollam The way I often explain it, is that for me, everything feels like it takes 4 hours.

Finish the entire huge project at work I just started? 4 hours.

Washing the dishes? 4 hours.

Taking out the trash? 4 hours.

Making dinner? 4 hours.

So, when I come home from work, I feel like I have over 20 hours of tasks that need to be done before bed, so I get overwhelmed and don't do any of them 🙃

@Linn @deviantollam Or you can get the opposite where they all feel like they take 10 minutes (this is my experience). So as soon as something starts taking longer you start getting stressed from falling behind schedule.

@snaperkids_neko @deviantollam Yeah, I get stressed when things take longer than 4 hours... "This should've been done in half a workday, why am I still working on it 2 weeks later??!"
