You know what? I go all over the place in conversations and have gotten to the point where I don’t care – really – whether others are frustrated. It comes from having some truly *great* conversations with a few close friends who are similarly affected with ADHD, including my daughter. (Of course these conversations took place long before I even had a clue I might have ADHD – before I finally got diagnosed).
The conversations swoop and whirl, and we have such a great time exploring different topics. We had no idea it was unusual until we joined with a non-ADHD friend who got frustrated because they couldn’t follow our (magical flying) train of thought.
I think now I’m sort of addicted to that type of conversation. I know I can barely stand straight-edge conversations now – especially technical ones. I get bored too easily. If on a conference call, I’ll make sure to drag my iPad up and fire up a game to play while the rest drone on and on.
I feel like I’m a bit of a hippy, frankly. And…I’m okay with it.
