Hey, @Moses! Welcome aboard!
My brother and I are very similar, but I have ADHD and he doesn’t. We used to fight all the time when we were kids, but now, we get along great. Though we occasionally snap at each other, because I’m a very verbal processor (I learn by talking my way through things), and he isn’t.
I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago, and my mom was diagnosed just over a month ago. Now, when we talk, we really notice the ways we think alike, and even finish each other’s thoughts.
Mom and I are very verbal processors, which can sometimes make our conversations stressful. Part of the ADHD Paradox, is that the same ADHD traits we embrace as part of ourselves, can drive us NUTS when we experience them in other people.
You’ll discover lots of those “You mean, I’m not the only one who does that?” moments, as you explore TotallyADD. Especially when you watch some of Bill’s ADDventures, in the Videos section.
One quick note about the Forums: When you post, try to break it up into paragraphs that are 2 or 3 sentences long. Huge blocks of text are hard to read. But you can edit your posts for a couple of hours after you’ve posted, which is pretty cool!
