i feel ya, believe me, i do. best of luck!

high intelligence can and will make it harder to detect learning difficulties & mask life struggles. Because despite the genetic learning disadvantage of adhd/autism, things get averaged out by being smart. You can also find coping strategies easier and just figure things out on your own

also adhd evaluations always look for signs during childhood, and if you are smart enough of a kid you won't struggle in school despite not being able to focus on regular learning like everyone else - the consistency of symptoms is pretty much half the diagnosis and having those symptoms be invisible to everyone but you complicates things

most tests (apart from self evalutations) don't really test for things like regular life struggles, and if you only recently started being able to see your symptoms (that were previously masked by high intelligence, and only now you realised something was off about it all) it could lead psychologists/psychiatrists to belive it's something else - like anxiety or depression (both of which can also be caused by adhd so that makes stuff even more annoying)

if the sentence "oh you have so much potential, if only you applied yourself" has been repeated in your childhood as if on a loop, and now makes you want to cry and/or smash things, you're probably like me - and the above is how my diagnosis went

i don't get angry at things that don't affect me lol

i do worry for steam's future, it's only this good because "Lord Gaben" has made many great decisions, it may not be a democracy but a good "dictator" is often more effective than a democracy. But what happens if/when Steam goes to shit for whatever reason? the internet will implode

tbf it could, last act of desperation followed by a full emotional breakdown

not to mention steam's:

screenshot manager

community card trading

friends & chat

easy to join small muliplayer (friends can just send you a button that launches the game and joins them instantly)

highly customisable profiles

tools & soundtracks

achievemnts

and so much more that can be simply small little fun

yeah but the thing is, Steam isn't even trying to be a monopoly, all of Steam's competitors just seem to have a hobby of shooting their own foot, repeatedly. Steam is trying to make the gaming experience easier and more fun, and excelling at it!

unlike some other platforms, Steam doesn't do exclusive deals, literally the only Steam exclusives are Valve's own games, everything else is up to be decided by devs

90% chance this is a right click inspect element moment

do you consider yourself an intelligent person? perhaps above average?

because in my experience this is what causes issues - if you're smart enough to do well on the tests despite neurodivergence it can give a false negative or an "inconclusive" results

the easiest way to fix that problem is visit an adhd/autism specialist who themself have adhd/autism. Then they can properly just vibe check you instead of relaying on tests
