  • Continuing study after school. Whether its science, political theory, or anything, a lot of people stop reading or studying anything after college / school.
  • Doing something creative as an outlet (music, art, knitting, anything). A lot of people are just consumption machines nowadays, mostly consuming things other people have made, rather than creating something.
  • Physical exercise.
  • Having explicit long-term goals and working towards them.

As someone with both ASD and ADHD, I'm practically allergic to not learning. Blows my mind that most people aren't the same in some regard.

What do these diagnoses have to do with learning? In my experience, these conditions can manifest in many different ways for people.

For the most part, you can over generalise by saying it causes me to obsess/hyper focus on these topics.
