🔥 When Fast Thinking Looks Like Chaos But Isn’t
Someone recently asked "how do you expect to get results, or get anything done, without a framework or clear focus ?"
I get that in their world, that’s a fair question, but in mine, it triggered two things at once.
First, I got that sharp internal RSD flicker. The familiar link to failure, shame and the internal jackass voice of “Maybe they’re right.”
Now, for some reason, I remember that it linked to a word, and the word that had subliminally been associated was “destruction”.
But then, that word lit another fuse. ⚡️
And it spread fast. 💥
Destruction became fire. > Fire became arsonist, then firefighter. > Then whack-a-mole. > Then Fix-It Felix jumping around with a hammer. > That landed on Wreck-It Ralph.
All in seconds.
From a neurotypical lens, that kind of jump can look scattered. Unfocused. Lacking clarity.
But in a neurodivergent mind, it’s pattern recognition running at speed.
It’s seeing the consequence and reaction at the same time. It’s mapping disruption and containment in one sweep.
The problem isn’t intensity. It’s translation.
Without structure, fast thinking looks like chaos, but with structure, it becomes strategy.
Not all nonlinear thinking is lack of focus.
Sometimes it’s simply uncontained capability, and when that's directed well, that capability produces outstanding results.
Agree?
