Undiagnosed here - I noticed I only pay attention to something when I know it’s importance and/or if someone is telling me directly. I need a lot of hand holding if something isn’t tangible or hands-on. Would this be related to ADHD symptoms?

There are online tests you can take. Not the same as a proper diagnosis, but can help you find your way. Also - don’t laugh - but there is a great neurodiverse community on TikTok which might help.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that?
