” Organizing events? Making phone calls? Supervising and chaperoning? Not really the skill sets of an introverted inattentive ADDer” got me to thinking. I could make up some Buisiness Cards with my name followed by ADHD (instead of MD, PhD, MS, BS, NA, RN, JD, or whatever) and listing things like:
Frequently procrastinates
Member of Mensa and Triple 9
Forgets purpose of entering a room
Poor social skills
Good mechanical skills
Takes on more work and tasks then can possibly manage
Works well alone
Poorly motivated
Forgets to eat and sleep when busy
Does not return to tasks when interrupted
Likes animals . . . more than people
Misplaces tools
Addicted to “Free Cell”
DRUG FREE
I could hand out my card when asked to volunteer. (I’m not sure what phone number I should list . . . 911, dial-a-prayer, or the suicide hotline.)
I could include a catchy phrase like “Failing to Meet Potential for Sixty Years.””
Great thread Quizzical. In the months I have been on this site, I have gotten a very positive image of you. You’re a good person.
