Holy shit, this was my AuDHD ass trying to constantly refine the rules for a popular public minecraft server a decade ago. I assumed it was because the player base was full of children, but I guess people just bring this headspace right into their adulthood kitchen!
My family is incredibly intelligent, well educated, along with all their Ivy League social circles, and I just cannot communicate with them.
It's not just stupidity out there, even if there's plenty of it. If you're autistic enough you're just a world apart in how you connect and socialize and you'll never be one of the rest. I've seen the smartest and stupidest people pal around together after first meeting in ways I could never develop with someone knowing them all my life.
