If you used to religiously read the cereal box or milk carton at breakfast in the 70s/80s/90s

or the air freshener can whilst on the toilet… are you neurodiverse?

i’ve been looking into why I have to read whilst I’m eating by myself, even at home, and thinking back to when there wasn’t many other options. I remember reading and re-reading whatever was available.

it seems there’s a link between the two and ADHD.

I’m sure many of us just read at the table because we were bored too.

Anyone got any thoughts?

I read somewhere about multiple stimulations going on with people who routinely need to read/occupy their minds whilst they eat.

but I can’t find it now, of course 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂

I agree that many of us read whatever we could back in the day because there was nothing else to do!

@HappyNewTaxYear I remember being CERTAIN that radio was done for when breakfast telly started.

what did I know!

I’m in the fuck all else to do camp. I remember having baths and reading all the various shampoo and bubble bath bottles over and over. Any leaflets lying around would be read repeatedly. Assume I’m neurotypical.
