Re: ADHD and keeping on topic

[Geoduck]

Here’s a good video on keeping on topic and distractibility in conversation: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCedsprbQkg&gt;

Yeah, okay, ADHD can be funny. It’s probably good to laugh at ourselves, anyway. Otherwise, I might cry soooo much more.

quickly replying to several posts in one paragraph (now that’s a skill, right?): I do the whole meet somebody a million times then can’t remember their face thing, too. Really, the facial recognition thing is a killer for me. Unfortunately, sometimes people think I’m brushing them off, and I’m not. I feel so bad about it. The adderall doesn’t seem to help with this, but it does seem to help with paying attention in a conversation. I have to work on not jumping ahead (which is why we tend to interrupt and finish other people’s sentences, we’re speeding ahead of them in the conversation), but it’s getting a little better.
