Isn't CDS severely underlooked? Besides low-functioning autism, couldn't we say it's worse than ADHD and Asperger's? Russell Barkley says ADHD is worse than CDS, however, I know multiple
people who may have ADHD and it's almost like it helps them in this modern and dynamic world. The case with Asperger's - as far as I know, they don't have slow thinking like us and they have niche interests in which they become exceptional.
It's so fvcking unfair living with this sh1t, and it really makes you realize how fvcked up this world is. Some are born cognitively and physically well and they thrive in life, we are born to suffer and watch other people's success, while being unable to do much, besides trying to find the proper medicine for our condition.

I found out about SCT recently, and I have to say I have all the symptoms (mindfulness, mental fog, introspective thinking, poor memory, mental and physical slowness, etc.) and I was never able to live my life to the fullest, however, a new thought regarding it came to mind and I'd be grateful if whoever's reading this could be honest and respond to me in that manner.
For the longest time I though I cared for other people and I was always on point regarding relationships, but I figured this all came from my intuition/intelligence, rather than real empathy. I don't care for sh1t what happens to any of my relatives or family. I don't feel real emotion for anybody, except for my own self. Only if I'm hurt I would be emotional.
Everything I do comes from my ego. I know that's terrible and I don't want me to be that way.
My questions to the people in the subreddit would be - do you feel the same way?
Could the introspective thinking, which I/we had for the longest be the reason for this?
Do you feel like you're more important than anything you do? Could that be a big reason why we don't do well in the present at most things?
Are we narcissists, or is it just my problem? Please be honest.
