Re: ADHD Point of View….

Exactly the same experience that munchkin so well describes.

Also, at 8 I’d have said:

Please don’t tell me to tidy up and expect me to understand what that means. You see a mess. I don’t know what ‘mess’ or ‘tidy’ mean. I don’t know what to do to make it ‘tidy’. I’ll pull everything out of my drawers and pile it on the bed so my drawers can be tidy but now they’re empty and you’re really cross and I don’t know what to do with everything on my bed.

If I need to go to the loo – I REALLY need to go to the loo. I just don’t notice till I’m bursting. I CAN’T hold it in.

Please let me keep my light on a little longer. I just lie in the dark for hours and feel sad because I can’t sleep. At least if I was reading I wouldn’t feel so lonely.

What does ‘try harder’ mean? I tense all my muscles and really TRY but nothing different happens except that I get a sore head.
