The noise doesn’t always come from speakers. Sometimes it’s the kind that lives in your head, and the only circuit breaker that actually works is a change of scenery, some fresh air, and zero notifications.

AuDHD hyperfocus isn’t a productivity tool you switch on. It’s more like a flash flood, and my homelab is the proof of what it leaves behind.

I got an AuDHD diagnosis at 54. Not because something was wrong, but because I finally had a name for everything that had always been exactly this way.

I spent 55 years running on a brain nobody had a name for. Turns out it built something real anyway — but not without a cost worth being honest about.
