I think I understand what you mean re: recent news.

An ADHD brain may be more likely to extrapolate ideas, i.e., try to piece together small parts into a big picture whole and project it into the future. While these brains are good at this, beware that a lot of assumptions are being made about those future projections. Just because 2 ideas seem related, doesn't mean one will guarantee the other to happen.

Also, I'm not saying you should have rose tinted glasses. If you feel overwhelmed by everyday news, try pausing news consumption and know your brain is offering possible futures -- not guarantees of futures.
