I have adhd as well, and my adhd is compound. I would loudly announce I was also going to say that when another kid would answer correctly in kindergarten, and in 3rd grade i accidentally fell asleep while blocking out light with my arms to do math easier, which was the same class where the teacher finally was the one to recommend my parents to diagnose me, which I am thankful for. It slowly stopped being "just can't focus" as what I thought I was doing, because I had the feeling that what was different from me was something more "I can't control myself properly" "I can't show tense emotions properly" "I can't portray emotions properly" as I took things literally and my mother, while she is a psychologist, never got the chance to understand my thought process was. Adhd does present itself different in others, like my friends, one who acts with a less of a filter and who struggles to understand why a filter is important, one who simply struggles with work while being greatly creative, and one who struggles to understand boundaries and admit he's wrong. It's something that is unique but still can be related to by those undiagnosed. Anyways this was a silly little rant that I wanted to write out rq, and I thank you for making this short, have a good day everyone!
My younger brother definitely has ADHD, it’s very easy to see like you said. I never thought I had ADHD until one of my friends suggested it (partially as a joke I think but also partially being for real) and then I started to think about all the ADHD stuff I’ve seen and how it’s not as easy to spot in female than males. Anyways I think it’s a very real possibility. Like the other day me and my friend were having a full on conversation in class until I looked down at the chair and looked back up and said “I want a tattoo” out of nowhere or that I struggle to start something but as soon as I get into that groove and find something I really like, I can lock in. Idk, I’m sure that happens to normal people too sometimes.
I have ADHD, and I thought the same thing, just can't focus. Now that I know this, I actually very much see it, and it explains so much confusion I've had in the past.
but there are exceptions b3cause I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6 years old. I am a 45 year old female. where I live (Memphis) at that time (1987) there was only 2 doctors that would actually believe the diagnosis and only one that would prescribed meds. I had what they said that boys typically had.
