<p>It’s interesting how much this thread has meandered, but hmm…</p>
<p>I do have strong interests, but the reason I suspect a disorder is because I get distracted so easily. Right now, my Firefox browser tells me that I have over 200 tabs up, an accumulation of weeks of “strong interests” that I don’t have time to pursue and which a computer crash will eventually, and necessarily, wipe clean from my obligated mental slate.</p>
<p>There is more to it than that, but I won’t get into it here. Munchkin, are there any especially good reads about this disorder? Most websites I’ve found on it are quite shallow.</p>
<p>Oh here’s the thread, though it won’t help much:

<p>That was before I was diagnosed with my sleep disorder, and deals with issues that are a bit more superficial than what I’m trying to handle right now.</p>
<p>interesteddad: there is more to it than that. I have crippling procrastination, time management, and planning issues. Crippling is not an exaggeration.</p>
<p>When people describe their mental processes, they’re like foreign concepts to me - things like self-regulation and pacing and concrete plans</p>
