3. Urgency - balanced timelines seem too abstract. It is either far from now or right this minute.
4. Boredom tolerance - low to very low. Either excessive activity or complete zoning out
5. Reward sensitivity - immediacy in reward and gratification (dopamine-seeking prioritisation)

If you have ADD/ADHD, the motivators might be as follows -
1. Interest - relevance for participation is largely interest based.
2. Novelty - linked to interest. how unique/new is a certain task/experience

I don't see a lack of attention but an excess of attention being thrown around in several directions at once. Too many browser tabs open and you don't where the music is coming from. Something like that.
In practical terms, decision making+behavioural motivators are different for #neurodivergent ppl

And yet, I am also a tad bit cautious about a catch-all doctrine of self diagnosing based on whether I have dinosaur hands or not! (Cue TikTok!)This is a sensitive subject that requires an intersection of scientific+clinical knowledge coupled with actively listening to those with lived experience.

I come across a lot of adults who were essentially guilted for years about their "lack of focus" without realising that their depressive spirals or struggles with task completion might have been be rooted in misunderstood or ignored signs of ADD/ADHD.

We tend to move between these states, especially in the early phases of dealing with any kind of grief.
A heartbreak, a death, an illness, a sudden adverse event. This model normalises the fact that grief isn't something that is experienced and overcome in a linear start-to-stop way.

In the Dual Process Model of Grief, the focus lies on the 'oscillation' between grief state and restoration or recovery state. The former is a remembrance of loss that causes the grief. The latter is the need or desire to remain connected to our present life and situations.

The model outlinined a theory they'd devised about how we process grief. A lot of the older models of grief almost had a static, rigid phase-like model in place whereas in realtime, grief isn't compartmentalised so neatly in boxes and phases.
