Trashman – It sounds like you must have mistakenly walked into a SOPA :?: meeting. Unfortunately, people with ADHD are often mistaken for SOPA members because we are often misunderstood or because things don’t get from the brain through the mouth (or keyboard) as intended. Then there is the NUTS, no unspoken thought syndrome, where, I don’t know, the brain causes our lungs to pass gas through our mouths or something.

Anyone that reads through very many of the threads and posts, can readily tell that SOPA members don’t hang out on this site, although they may occasionally pass through.

Interestingly enough however, the ADHD community must have a general anxiety concerning our expression of thoughts, as several weeks ago we were all apologizing to one another for fear that thoughts posted in the past might have offended anybody. I think this was after something concerning pregnancy and ADHD meds was brought up. And more recently when an innocent complaint of “people empty their heads of what is essentially mental garbage overflow” caused half of the members think the comment directed squarely at them. If it weren’t so sad that the treatment of ADHD sufferers had conditioned them to think as such, it would be funny. Something for the plot of a slapstick sitcom.

Well that’s about all the mental garbage I can muster for now. Oh, wait, no it’s not. One more thing Trashman. I was looking to see more from you after you got Dragonspeak. Sadly, that has not been the case. See if you can get that Dragon talking. :D

Your friend,

KC
