Are there any other books where the main character seems to be neurospicy?

Also I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes SciFi. The books are really short so easy to finish even for slow readers or “need to read that page 5 times” readers. And audiobooks exist too!

If you have ADHD, emergencies are common because the dopamine to motivate doing stuff isnt there so the extra norepinephrine from procrastination's consequences finally brings your norepinephrine levels "high enough" to be "normal" (its usually below normal for us) while an average person is going to be swimming in it enough to be paralysed. So the same reason that we tend to procrastinate is also why we tend to be chill when everyone else is freaking out. Not only are we used to those scenarios, our brains are ironically, the only ones that are going to be "normal" during those emergencies.
