My husband and I are also both ADHD so we understand each other. OUr conversations are full of tangents and we can cover a whole day of conversations in hours. Both of our kids are also ADHD and they are able to follow our conversation. Our in-laws on both sides are also ADHD so they are usually on the same page. Although my husband is more of a lecturer then a speaker to our kids most of the time because this is the style his mother used with him. But he is getting better at pausing to hear what the kids have to say.
A conversation with a “normal” is so much work. They hear a foreign concept and they want you to break it down for them. Then they question how it will work, then they want to analyze the merits of it. So how do you slow your brain enough to tease out all the details to give them. Most of the time in my job I would rather ask for forgiveness if it doesn’t work then explain and ask for permission. I work so much faster then the rest of the ones at work and therefore before they even know there is a problem I have either solved it or made it worse.
