    Adhd is actually pretty hard to do this with compared to Autism. Like Newton building hidden networks in his house to avoid interacting with people - yep that’s autistic af. But adhd is a lot more difficult to determine.

    In saying that I do think Leo was likely neurodivergent in some way, and adhd does fit. In our own way, a lot of adhders are polymaths because of how we often cycle through interests, slipping in and out of hyperfocus, picking up various skills along the way.

      I had to Google polymath. I’ve always been a quick learner in general, I typically get really average at something much quicker than most. However, most of the time, I then lose all interest, but once in a blue moon, it sticks and I genuinely get to become rather good at something.
