ADHD

Partly bcos (I am baffled, partly bcos) I thght I had inordinate attention to detail with my autism.

@StressedGirl I think it's because we are also super sensitive to detail. Just as you are right now you are thinking about things, maybe random or not. When you do this some parts of the brain listen to that more and they kind of interject and while you are reading, or writing your brain also jumps and skips. At least for me I always left out an 'S' on plural words. 

While I was taking a math test a year ago I actually caught when this skip happened. I intended to write something but did something completely opposite. Although I wasn't quick enough to catch it while it happened I kind of realized it very quickly. I was in kind of a trance or my mind drifted to some other micro thought while I was writing so I think that has something to do with it. ADHD can be seen as just a different type of balance in the brain, which means you do pick up more things. It could be you have information overload and the brain makes these "mistakes" because it just get's filled and dumps something. 

There is still a lot of things being learned about ADHD, one of them especially is the vegus nerve. It's really important to get exercise and eat well because that nerve is related to digestion and the stomach and if it become irritated it affects your brain. Trust me I now have sensitivity to sugar and my worst days in school is after I had something with added sugars in it.
