By adulthood, the hyperactivity of childhood ADHD seems to disappear… But it may actually turn into restlessness, stress, fidgeting, frustration, anger or impatience making a business meeting pure torture!

Hahah! I do the writing with the left hand thing, too. I can actually pretty legibly wright with my left hand now…
I want that paper clip airplane. <3
this video is sooo me. the part where he puts the pencil like a mustache i always have to hold myself back from doing in class. i usually always doodle in every class that i made my doodling count…. i started trying to write with my left hand..sometimes i get fustrated because my hand writing is terrible with my left that I once threw the pencil across the room while a history lecture and couldn’t stop laughing… that wasn’t awkward at all
Oh god, why am I an accountant!?!
I used to do the ‘bouncing leg’ thing a lot. Does that qualify as exercise?
I deal with the restlessness and boring meetings by taking over and making decisions for everyone else. To slow, can’t do it, need to get this moving, okay here’s the plan. good? let’s go.
I went to Christian schools through 5th grade. Not good. They said I had a learning disabillity and wanted to hold me back. The joke is on them, though. I am a chaplain and get paid to talk. HA! I have never had a job were I set in one place. I can’t imagine having a desk job. I think I would explode.
I sit in a cubicle all day… Man sometimes I’m “diddling” or bouncing both legs enough there the monitor shakes
I’m half tempted to find one of those under the desk pedal things…
I learned way faster by reading, especially books with illustrations, than I did from anything my teachers would say. I’d just be gone by time they’d finished saying, “Hello my name is…”
Not good.
I had a philosophy teacher in highschool who was a real nice guy, and his course material was fascinating, but he had the world’s most boring monotone- I had to fight through every lecture just to stay focused on what he was saying. It was like being read Socrates by Ben Stein.
And I take it your job is not in the product testing department at an elastic band company?
that dinosaur made of clips is sweeeeet. the other day i was so bored at work that i played with an elastic band for 5 hours.
