      My fingers are fucking fascinating. As are my toes. Not to mention all the bullshit going on in my head.

                By "wall" I assume this means smartphone. Because if you're sitting for 6 hours doing nothing but staring at a wall I think there's something else going on.

                EDIT:
                I get that the meme is being hyperbolic, but I find it kind of misleading. As someone who likely has ADHD or/and is on the spectrum, the idea of “sitting still and staring at a wall for 6 hours” doesn’t match how ADHD usually works. If I remove distractions, I don’t just freeze - I end up doing something else entirely, like watching YouTube or pacing around. The paralysis is real, but it’s more about being stuck in a loop of avoiding the right task while still seeking stimulation. So the meme's wording just doesn’t land for me because it confuses task paralysis with total inactivity, which feels more like depression or burnout than ADHD. Maybe I’m just being too literal, but this is why it doesn’t click with me.

                    If you’re removing distractions, you should probably also remove smartphones /tablets/smartwatches/whatever else people might have. But again, even if people try to remove my distractions, I’ll entertain myself. I personally like to guess and check cube roots, which is much easier to do with paper and pencil, but can be done without. It’s an effective way to kill time.

                        No. By wall they mean wall/ceiling/floor.

                          Comments like this give me the feeling that it's the neurotypicals that actually have something wrong with them and they just convinced ND people that they're the normal ones.

                              You have a functioning brain right? You don't need smartphone to get thinking.

                                I work best with music/podcasts/streaming all simultaneously blasting. Then I can concentrate.

                                  Mostly functional yes, but not compatible with sitting still for 6 hours and doing nothing.

                                    Yup. Getting tired of people saying "just write notes and reminders!"

                                    Okay, my brain immediately deleted the memory of the reminder once it popped up, now what.

                                        Complete removal seems extreme. Maybe just disconnect some of it, as a treat.
