I don’t think Wildbow has ADD (could be wrong thought) but he does have experience leaving projects unfinished. Before he started Worm he spent year writing beginnings of stories in multiple universes. Worm started as an exercise in keeping a single project going, and he used lots of idea from earlier attempts (Amy and Victoria used to be the central characters in a story called “Guts & Glory”). I believe he’s more aware of handicaps in general too, because he’s deaf in one ear IIRC.
Fair enough. He does have a history of handling various topics well without necessarily having personal experience with them, and doing incredibly thorough research… to the point where some of you guys actually seem to get kind of offended whenever I insinuate that I think Wildbow might not have done enough research, and that is something you’ve proven me wrong on every single time.
So if there’s any author I can believe would be able to handle a disorder like ADHD this well without having it or being a trained ADHD expert? It’s Wildbow.
