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).

Half the time I realize the parenthesis works better as a separate sentence, preceding the original sentence, because I'd gone "Thought (context)." instead of "Context; thought."

But then I start writing "thought (context1; small tangent; context2 (sub-context)). Follow-up thought (..." and it's a damn Chinese puzzle trying to put back flat and in the right-order.
