something ive been thinking for a bit now, and ive never put it into a short? (jk its 15 parts) thread..

intersecting adhd with endogenic naturality 1/15

ive started to wonder on the argument of "plurality cannot exist naturally".
i tend to compare it to my adhd.
my adhd exists naturally. for all explanations, my adhd was not caused by something that happened after i was born, and is just literally how my brain developed 2/15

during growth. there are things that couldve been done to help my brain grow further and develop the skills i was lacking from its original state, but for all intents and purposes, i naturally have a different way of existence from neurotypicals. and there are MANY like me. 3/15

take that into natural plurality. it is commonly said in traumagenic circles that people start with separated identity states. this is a natural first state of being. in neurotypical minds, this generally forms into one full personality. that is our basis of understanding. 4/15

what i understand to be true is in an endogenic system this fusion does not happen, and the mind stays separated and develops that way.
if we are to believe that the mind was originally separated, and also to believe in the case of adhd the mind was originally prone to 5/15

deficit. why is it contradictory that the development of a natural plural is impossible? if my mind had grown "correctly" i would not have adhd. but there was no event, no trauma, nothing that made me different than my genes and chance. and many people with adhd do not 6/15

"inherit" adhd. none of their family has it and it starts with them. it is a naturally occuring way to exist differently from what society deems as the most common form. i find that to suggest traumagenic is the only way of existence is to be ableist. to designate a 7/15

neurotypical state of being as the only way to naturally grow into, and to be any other way requires SOMETHING that happened to you to cause this. you have to have been severely hurt since youre not like "everyone else" (which i also believe the norm is created by those in 8/15

power to construct society around how they function and succeed, not by others' standards or needs who nay be different than them). But nothing happened to me to cause my adhd. I was just born this way. Parts of my mind are stronger than a neurotypical's, but because those 9/15

parts dont apply to the way that we currently work in the world (memorizing tasks, prioritizing time management, etc) i am considered to have a disorder in deficit. in a world where i was allowed to do whatever interested me with no fear of losing my financial stability 10/15

i would probably thrive. the standards set by neurotypicals cannot apply to how things may develop within the mind. especially in a field so under researched and heavily abused. we laugh at those who believed gods were controlling the weather, but because we can now explain 11/15

how those things occur does not mean those things were never occuring. we still have storms and we still have droughts. we just dont believe they occur because a god willed it to be, we learned more about it.
in the future, we may fully be able to explain how natural 12/15

plurality occurs. perhaps it is about a deficit in natural fusion. much like my adhd is a deficit in natural regulation.
im going to end this thread here. i apologize if i seem to have gone everywhere and not concluded it well, but as ive said i have adhd. i havent taken 13/15

my adderall today either. my point is: if adhd can occur naturally due to part of the brain being developed differently and causing regulation issues, why can't natural plurality be caused by the same with difficulty in fusing of separated identity states as a child? 14/15
