“When we step back and ask, “What does everyone with ADHD have in common, that people without ADHD don’t experience?” a different set of symptoms take shape.
From this perspective, three defining features of ADHD emerge that explain every aspect of the condition:
1. an interest-based nervous system
2. emotional hyperarousal
3. rejection sensitivity”
Oh
I’m reblogging first, then clicking through to read the article (less likely to lose it or forget to do either), but just from the piece quoted – oh. Yes. That does lay it out rather succinctly, doesn’t it?
this is it. this is the article that periodically reminds me that ‘adhd’ is a bad name for adhd.
tbh the one thing I can’t forgive Moffat for is how dirty he did the Doctor finally getting to gallifrey
I mean we had, what, 7 series of the Doctor’s agony as being the Last Timelord? 7 series of ptsd from the Time War, of him being ‘the only one left’? I know in Classic Who he didn’t have the Best Relationship especially with the ones in charge, but over seven seasons of New Who it became pretty clear that he was in agony over the destruction of his entire planet and people and being the sole survivor.
And then it turned out Gallifrey was alive! And he was going to take the ‘Long way home’! I was prepared for a series worth of the doctor chasing leads to find his people
And then…that didn’t happen? There was the whole Christmas episode which felt really rushed? And then finally finally we see the Doctor on galifrey and yes having everyone side with him and call it his planet was nice but…that was it? Most of the gallifreyans didn’t even really talk to him? And then he immediately left to go save Clara?
Which, I get, he’s the doctor he wants to save his friends. But he’s home? The lonely wanderer has got his planet and people back and he only stays for twenty minutes??? and doesn’t go back??
It just all felt like such a let down
and it felt the same with River Song tbh. When it was revealed she was Melody and the Doctor was all ‘I’m going to get your baby back!’ and the episode ended like the whole new series was going to be about searching the universe for Melody Pond, hunting down those who took her, and bringing her home
and then in the next episode it was like ‘Oh! here I am! You found me! bye!’
to me, Moffat set up these huge story arcs which could be amazing and interesting and edge-of-your-seat-cannot-wait-to-next-week-oh-my-god-we-were-so-close!! but then he just….solves them an episode later and moves on. And you are left with such a let down
