you are so funny bishop!
yeah, it took me reading it twice to “get it”… but then again i used to play D&D with my bro so it was an analogy that i completely understood. hee hee
Oh and Elizabeth, i didn’t write it… just spreading the word. the person who wrote it is on my personality forum. that individual has ADD and replied to one of my posts with this. it’s an interesting perspective.
and for the ADDer, here’s a sum up…..
in all our heads we have dice. ADD and non-ADDers. we have several with many different numbers. each has its own color shape and number order. when a non-ADDer wants to talk about something they pull out their die and put it on the table… in the instance above, they pulled a #5 on their 6 sided die (so the #5 is the subject to which they are bringing up). they think in their heads that you will respond to #5, but you reach into your chaotic bag of dice and bring out the wrong die. so the frustration begins with the non-ADDer as you two talk about every die and number under the sun, BUT the #5 initially brought up.
the cycle continues leaving everyone involved in disarray. it’s no fun, but those of us that can understand it and have support, will get through it all.
good luck to everyone.
