    Just talked with my therapist about how I got into #accessibility work because I'm mortified by the idea of not building things correctly and thus inconveniencing people who are using assistive technologies, and how it is strange that I've never met anyone else who seems primarily motivated by those feelings.

    She thinks perhaps my #ADHD has made me sensitive to the possibility of people being inconvenienced, since I have so much first-hand knowledge of how a little bump can completely derail someone's ability to finish a task.

    @mikemccaffrey Fellow ADHD here; I think your therapist may be onto something there.

    I also find that our brains are good at making connections and maybe that also helps achieve a higher standard of quality, IF guided properly (because lord knows we love your side quests).
