Are you good at concentrating your attention? Of course you are. That’s something that people with ADHD, Aspergers etc can do better than anybody else.
Concentration is a magic power. Attention is the axis of reality. Yes.
That’s a power that you have naturally. You can do it better than everybody else. And with practice you can get even better. There is no limit.
There were groups of people who dedicated their whole life to seeing how deep they could go with concentration. (and there are other things that you can do with your attention too. Things that are even better than concentration.)
For lack of a better term let’s call these people “wizards”.
Their preferred recruits were people with ADHD, Aspergers etc.
Because people with ADHD, Aspergers etc are very good at concentrating their attention.
Sure, maybe they’re good at concentrating their attention. Concentrating it into a laser that you can’t aim or turn on or off at will. It’s just a randomly-firing laser of attention that is blasting everywhere you don’t need it to. Great super power. /s
You aimed it well enough to post that reply.
This will likely gain more traction in a Pagan/ Neopagan or magick community.
Only be aware because this can change to a think, you are better of others. I said this from my laaaaaaaaaarge exp.

The better term is “people”. We are in all the facets of society. Though we all want equity I don’t belive most of us wish to be treated too differently then nerutypical folk.
I’m not going to rag on you. It seems this is a pretty unpopular post. But the world’s still learning as are all of us here. I only learned about the Aspergers thing recently myself so certianally can’t blame others for not knowing about it.
Also I understand what you may be trying to say here. I actually knew a really wonderful educator and former CEO. He give frequent talks to the tech industry pushing for improved hiring practices and working environments for nerutypical workers. He show the benefits and helped myself and many others get into the industry.
But the language your using is probably putting folks off a bit. You can speak to us like normal people. I’ve lost count of the amount of times somone calling me a “wizard” was trying to manipulate me. I am sure I am not alone in that.
this kind of stereotype is frustrating.
people that believe it see me as some sort of performing monkey.
