How do ADDERS React to a death of a love one?

Dear Daphne, I have been thinking a lot about you. I know you think you aren't reacting to the loss of you brother, but I can hear your distress and I just wanted you to know that I care so much and…

I have to leave it on to sleep at all. I think you are right that it keeps my mind occupied enough to let go of the other mental clutter.

How do ADDERS React to a death of a love one?

Ok, maybe I will just keep speaking back and forth to myself until someone else takes over which I often do anyway, but this has really got me thinking. Maybe we Adders have another gift which is tha…

How do ADDERS React to a death of a love one?

For some reason my PC won't allow me to go back & edit, so am adding that I am not without feeling, because I am the one who can't allow a useless bug to suffer - I literally feel its pain. Aso,…

Gary, I totally agree with you. I don't type 90, but I do think my typing comes just a little bit closer to keeping up with my crazy racing brain. When I really get going, you can tell because I type dyslexic and have to go back and unscramble the w…

Hi, I am an artist and have joined this group, yesterday, I think. (See photo of mosaic wig head). I have that deep need to create which you described, and have found that I also enjoy writing. Reading what Dan expressed about getting lost in the bo…

Daphne, I have been trying to find the right opportunity to write this down, but you prompted me to because my brother did the same thing. It sounds so absolutely traumatic to put down in words because every normal person would have to be drugged or…

I am perplexed by my inability to become emotional. I lost my favorite little brother 4 years ago, and seemed to maintain as if it had not happened. It is painful to talk about, especially because he was what he referred to as a "creative genius" bu…

jo elleman replied to DANA's discussion 'Are ADDer's drawn to other ADDer's?'

Hi Dana, Yes I agree that I am blessed!. The two boys that have remained friends with my son met in elementary school at Summit Academy. It is funny because they are so open with each other and have real verbal blowouts often, and take breaks from e…

jo elleman replied to Véronique St-Martin's discussion 'The ideal school/education for the ADDers'

Tia, I am glad you brought up the connection of ADD/HD with giftedness. I beleive there is a fine line between the two. If you search up giftedness, you will find that they have so many things in common that I have wondered for some time that perhap…

jo elleman replied to DANA's discussion 'WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT ADHD?'

illiminating the insecurity. I wish I could stop trying so hard to be "normal" because it uses up my energy which could be put to such better use. That is why these two sites are so awsome. Once I unload to someone who gets it, I can let go of littl…

jo elleman replied to Weslee's discussion 'Relationships, Social Interactions, and just doing the human thing'

The only people who understand and also seem to need that "hiatus" tend to be my ADD friends. With my Adder friend, I almost feel that I finally can understand how awsome it is to have a buddy. But we both need extended downtime, and maybe that is w…

jo elleman replied to Bryan Hutchinson's discussion 'You know you have ADD ADHD'

OK, I had driven my kids to school in our truck instead of my car I normally use. Just as I slammed the door shut to go in for some reason, I realized the keys were not in my hands. I berated myself that if only I had not switched vehicles, I would'…

My son also has Aspergers, and vitually his only two friends also have the disorder as well as ADHD. As for Adders being attracted to other Adders, I mentioned in my last post the school for ADHD which the kids attended which presented me with the o…
