"My irrational and suspicious mind immediately jumped to an unhinged conclusion—that my neighbour was collecting them and flinging them over the fence." 🤣 Spat out coffee and laughed out loud!
Not so irrational, suspicious & unhinged when you think about how natural it is for our human minds to try to make sense or meaning from things we haven't encountered before.
I love that you shared your first 'thoughts' with us. My first thoughts are often just as quirky. I guess the trick is to not immediately start gathering the pigeon shit up and flinging it back over the neighbours fence 😉🤣
The question of why some hyperfocuses take root and others burn out is one that every ADHD framework should take note of. Most advice treats hyperfocus as a generic resource to be channeled. The truth is closer to what gardeners already know: the conditions need to be just right. The robot lawnmower didn't create the gardening fixation. It opened a door to conditions that turned out to be a match. The hyperfocus is the bloom.

I guess my first instinct is always to assume I’ve wronged someone and they’re out for revenge 😅
Thank you so much for your recommendation Brad, I am honoured! 💛
