Jessica McCabe, "How to ADHD".

She's a YouTuber, not a scientist, although she did consult with scientists for writing the book.

With that caveat aside, this is a frighteningly good description of how and why I edit @wikipedia, @wikidata, #Wiktionary, and all those other wikis (and why I write blog and Fediverse posts).

So yes, #ADHD may be a good explanation for the motivation to do it, but the result of the work is useful to all people, I would hope?..

In case it isn't clear, that's also the motivation for writing this post.

... And that's also why I added the word "self-discrepancy", which I encountered in the same book, to the English #Wiktionary.

This doesn't mean that I actually remember every single thing that I ever wrote on Wikipedia and Wiktionary. I remember quite a lot of them, but certainly not everything. But I'll know where to find it! (Unless someone decides that it's "non-notable" or "unreferenced" or something, but I have solutions for that, too.)
