Reply To: Communication between ADHD people

Whilst out enjoying my morning ciggy and cup of tea surfing a variety of thoughts, one piqued my interest and amused me for a few minutes: imagine an ADHD nation! Or, at least an indepedent ADHD community! The only pre-requisite for admission was the dreaded ADHD! It would be interesting if nothing else, no?

This utopian refuge would have no clocks. No hassles. No bores. No robots. No bureaucrats. If rules were deemed necessary they would be by consensus. We’d not abide by dreary superfluous statutory nonsense, and we’d rally to help one another when the need arose without seeking recognition or glory. There would be no judgement or hatred. No condemnation, just acceptance for how one is…we’d be able to edify one another to such an extent that we’d be confident enough to commute to the nearest robotic community and participate in their exchange of filthy lucre for effort program if we had the inclination…if not, we’d spend the days in idyllic bliss following our whims without feeling shame or guilt!

My most recent job lasted 4 days. I could not abide the bellowing oaf that was my supervisor, and we clashed from our first meeting. I could not yield to this stentorian imbecilic grunting primate, and despite my best efforts I was unable to prevent provoking him with with well directed conveyances of contempt. I resented the way that he spoke disparagingly to everybody, so there was a degree of inevitability that we’d have a bit of a showdown…I’d got myself so annoyed with this gorilla that I was fantasising about which of my fists would land the first blow, and I relished imagining giving the great lump of crap a few kicks once I’d knocked him to the ground…I told them to stick that job up the rectal passage of the aforementioned grunting troglodyte, and that I’d try and see my final day out before being subjected to a hasty round of meetings etc.etc. In the end I left around lunchtime, said my farewells to my fellow danglers at the bottom of the food chain there, and with a merry heart I left! The other guys were pleased that I’d stood up to this dimwit, and even though I wish the guys well I don’t understand how they can tolerate being treated with such overt blatant naked contempt. I hope that things improve for them anyway… 🙂

How good would it be though to have an ADHD village, eh? Imagine the laughter! It’d be a hoot wouldn’t it? It’d be like being on a school camp or something for as long as one wanted to stay there! Friendly robust debate, no rancour, no lingering resentment! Is it just me or do you guys find it very easy to let things slide? I don’t nurture grudges. Even if I’ve been wronged, if I see a willingness to forgive and forget I can easily do it too, and the matter is soon forgotten!

Hmmm, still quite early here. Time for another cup of tea and ciggy!

Allan 🙂
