I'm having a lot of fun with this ADHD thing- they only told me about it a month ago, so i missed out on my entire ADHD childhood. i do a lot of asking stuff out of the blue and changing topics a lot. i also mess up words, and have little streaks of hyperness, which are so much fun, i wish i had more.
> After reading your post, Melle, & Teva's too, it's kind of comforting to think of others like us. Can you imagine a group of women with ADHD getting together for a slumber party? We'd be like a pan of popcorn popping - bouncing off the walls all night. I have a good friend with ADHD & sometimes we can have such a blast together.

> My abysmal organisational skills are a real bother to me, but I wouldn't ever want to be non-ADHD for anything. It sure can make one feel very alive, can't it? At least while the stimulation mode is on. Otherwise, without it, my motor's barely idling.

I can flip back & forth between different subjects mid-sentence so often that friends can have trouble figuring out what I'm saying. And I make the exact sound "ooohh!" whenever I see something that excites me & break stride in whatever I'm thinking, saying, or doing.

> > Hi Im new to this news group and was just reading this thread when it struck me as funny and true in the same. I too am a "brain dumper" as I call it and often people ask me if Im "on something"...to which I reply "nah just life". Often finishing a sentence outloud or asking someone a question about a subject we havent been talking about but I have been mulling it over in my head. Its funny to see their faces like "wha" or "huh" they look like the weirdo not me haha.I always wondered if I had ADHD as a child. I consider myself pretty smart but couldnt concentrate on anything long enough in school to do well at anything realy in particular just good all round. I was always known as the class clown and was often in trouble for disturbing others and talking too much ohh and being a wise ass. Any fellow ADHD people relate to this one? It would be interesting for me to compare myself and my traits to others out there. Thanks for listening and I hope I can make some new and interesting friends here.
