Am I the only one that thinks ADHDers find each other?! I feel like we are all a moth to the flame. Most of my really GOOD friends have ADHD, we joke; “When we are together we have one normal human brain”. We all struggle with similar and yet different issues with our “Brain Ticks”. 🧡 What about your friends?
I found my entire family has adhd and all of my friends
I have one. She’s all I need.
I definitely agree that we tend to sense each other. I tend to gravitate towards fellow neurodivergent people, but it is definitely hard to make friends in the first place as a neurodivergent person.
You are not wrong! Always nervous I’ll say the wrong thing, be super antisocial or awkward because I don’t know what to say to a stranger.. unless I have liquid courage, that peels me out of My mental gator roll 🐊
Can't say that I have the ADHD radar but I certainly have a neurodivergent one in general. And neurotypicals don't like me at all almost from the first glance haha
Haha I like your joke a lot!
We are a silly bunch 🙃
Before I knew I had adhd or knew anything about, I masked everything, now I can see people with adhd and gravitate towards them more, one of my colleagues is undiagnosed and I know she has adhd and feel safe around her and don’t have pretend to be normal which is great, the flip side is not so good for work, not much gets done…..
MandaLynn, I feel the same exact way about how home life tends to get the short end of the stick, and my work productivity is higher. It’s something I’m still trying to figure out as to why, and how to bring my productivity mindset home.
I think I do as well.. My neurodivergent friends were the ones that told me I had ADHD before I even knew! I went to get tested shortly after and they nailed it.. I still mask from time to time or get caught up in my head while socializing, say the wrong thing and reel on it for days/months, but at least I am surrounded by those who get it.. as for work I have a coworker that is undiagnosed as well lol SHE gets nothing done because she is not medicated.. I, however, pinhole focus on tasks and do WAY too much for the salary 😑 My ADHD is a superpower at work but home life gets the short end of the stick.
I swear my boyfriend has it.
My ex was one of the first people to tell me I had it! lol because he has it too.. craziness..
