Re: Is your IQ so high it can't be measured? ADHD superpowers

Hi there Starrmck………..yup I get that…I don’t know where, or how, we fall on the spectrum but we do. It is very comforting to find somebody who is similar or has similar traits to mine. I understand you have some (what I would call) minor issues around some troublesome ADD traits (as do I) but, generally your much more than pleased with what your ADD-ness brings to the table.

I know there are so many folks here whose traits do not appear to fall where ours do, sometimes I feel very much like the odd person out even here. It is a tiny bit frustrating…….and hard to share sometimes…..because my enthusiasm over my Random/Visionary brain is boundless, I revel in it…..but some, good, good people seem to be troubled…..and I feel for that.

So welcome aboard…..and yes….I am a “Gifty”….and wouldn’t have it any other way. What we see, what we know…..our perception, intuitive thinking, the immediacy of patterns perception, on almost any topic…..all make for an interesting life. Yes, I can also talk with anybody…..about almost anything…no problem. I too, tend to speak in conceptual terms, skipping over the tops of ideas at times… thinking everybody will fill in the details…..so I must be aware to bring conversation down a notch or two….and put some details into my ramblings.

I spell terribly…….and am quite a bozo with complex math, but who cares nobody asks me to do calculus…..EVER!!! My partner says I’m flat surface challenged and can’t stand a flat surface in the house without something(s) on it, much to her dismay!!! My Partner thank-god is a Linear type…and takes care of much of the “administrivia” of our household… she is good at it too!! On the other hand she is liberal enough and artsy enough to enjoy my crazy brain…..so after almost 40 years of partnership we seem to have found a groove. Hahahahah….. so thanks so much for your post…… and I look forward to your posts in the future.
