DoctorM – sounds like you have had a bad time. Don’t get disheartened. Most line managers are wrong.

I know what you mean about the pinball machine and sensory stuff – I think it’s common with ADHD – I can’t cope with noise and shops with people and loud piped music – aaahhh!!!

Ourteam – did he turn it on again after that and if so, did you throw it out of the window?

You roommate was in the wrong there.

Guess we all say impulsive things – I threw a bucket of dirty water over my nephew many years ago after he’d been teasing me – and I told a woman on a plane once that if I had a knife I’d have to stab her. Not my finest hour – but she moved seats and I got some peace. I don’t think she could speak English so she only got the vibes rather than the words – I think. Anyway, they didn’t kick me off the plane, but there might have been other reasons for that – like being at 30000 feet. The good thing is I realised I needed a diagnosis for something after that and it turned out to be ADHD and I am now on meds and very mellow. 🙂 This is a shameful thing to admit to – but in my defence I had had a week from hell courtesy of two work colleagues who took delight in teasing me in a very condescending manner. Now, I take my meds when I do work trips away and only talk when I need to and it works well.
