IDK if this is a normal thing for people with ADHD but do you guys find it hard to watch movies? There always super slow paced and require hours worth of your attention. I can watch movies but only if I really try and that’s a very draining experience. I only like watching movies if I’m really high.

    Does anyone know why the double speed thing works? It’s very effective for me too, I usually keep video at 1.5x often will have to jump it up to 2x to be able to handle it

      I can only speak for myself but if I have a fast enough input my spare resources are low, so I can’t think about something else easily. This means I don’t find something more interesting or forget what I am doing. I think neurotypical people enjoy pacing in a way I find impossible. They like the anticipation, the waiting can build the experience, whereas my internal systems just get hired and drop the boring thing rather than building anticipation.
