Yeah – and I get frustrated as it’s SO simple, everyone should see what I see. Like I’ve been explaining to the boss at work that a certain employee or two are trouble – one in particular is all BS and has never done the things he claims. I also see a lot of stuff going on, mis-use of computers (gov’t agency, but personal computer use) but it seems I’m the only one that “Gets it”.
Until recently, that is……… a co-worker has a son who is AD/HD and when I approached her about how I could see things others just weren’t getting, anyway, suddenly it clicked, and she realizes I have this “ability” as so does her son!
It’s like a 6th sense, I “see” things, or can put things together, I can take 1 or 2 actions and often predict future actions or trends in people. But they can’t get what I’m talking about. And it’s impossible to “quantify”.
Back on the types, although I see myself in most of those in the original list – this one frustrates me most:
>>or tends to try to pull conversations back to earlier topics that others have already moved on from (usually because a new thought just occurred to him/her and the ADDer can’t stop the impulsive need to verbalize it}.
<<
As yes, suddenly a great thought will come to me and it seems critical that I get it out and have trouble “dropping it” – again, as “can’t you see it? Don’t you get it? It should be so obvious.
People want me at meetings as I’m really quite smart and technical and can solve problems, but people don’t want me at meetings due to some of the things in that list……….
