ADHD person here. Been making an effort lately to use less parenthesis. A thing I quickly found is that many of them can be replaced with a comma just fine. Or, just like, taking the extra two seconds to turn one run-on sentence into two. (But then again turning my comments into puzzles is fun).

Texts can still be long-winded without parentheses. The trick is to consider which information the other person needs in this moment. It's definitely a skill worth developing.

That said, sometimes I still info dump just because I love it. And there are people who appreciate me for it, too.
