BluCatnip Also, I can't picture you as having ADHD. You seem.... too calm, I suppose? Maybe that's the word I'm looking for, maybe. Stereotypes like these are very damaging to people who are trying to function with ADHD. We are not all out of our trees. I am "mentally hyperactive" but I am able to regulate that aspect and temper my impulsivity most of the time. Maybe it is because I am an adult. I still have all the classic attention-regulation-related problems, like forgetting where I put my keys ten thousand times more frequently than the average person, completely failing at task analysis (knowing what steps are involved in a task and how long each step will take), can't sit through an episode of ANYTHING without having something else to do at the same time, fidgeting constantly, hyperfocusing, making careless mistakes to a degree much more severe than the average person (which has cost me jobs, relationships, and MANY many marks when I was in school, and which makes me scared to drive if I am off my meds), making procrastination look like an art form (another career-limiting move) failing utterly at keeping up with housework, etc.
I also try to read through all of my posts several times before hitting the 'Submit' button, because I know that sometimes I just go off on people without really thinking about the consequences. This is part of being a responsible member of an online community, and also 'how to avoid being a troll'.
