  • Well yeah. Most ND stuff is just normal stuff but turned up to 11.

    “Normal” people worry about having locked their door, but OCD will make you go back three times and double-check, even if you’re late somewhere.
    “Normal” people get thoughts by association, but ADHD will make you throw the original thought over your shoulder while you’re still having a conversation about it.
    “Normal” people may have issues interpreting unfamiliar social cues, but autism is socialguessr on hard mode.

    etc.




  • May I introduce you to the concept of microdistrict. That’s how the original soviet developments were planned out - every house is guaranteed to have necessities like stores, a polyclinic, a school, a kindergarden, or a fire department within reasonable distance. Usually, walking distance. Everything is pedestrian permeable, there’s public transport connecting the “sleeping districts” where there were mostly apartments to the industrial areas where the jobs were. And yeah, playgrounds in or near every building.

    Jobs in the same area as apartments isn’t really happening though, office buildings and industry tends to be away.
