The lighter side of ADHD
Pro-tip: Asking permission to interrupt to say your bit goes down much much better than just interjecting
My wife has ADHD and some wicked rejection dysphoria. I feel bad interrupting because sometimes it makes her feel really badly, but I swear she could talk for an hour without pausing for breath.
I definitely do the same thing when I'm talking about something I'm passionate about though, so like... live and let live.
I sometimes want to hit my head on the desk (when it is over zoom with no camera) while trying to hold myself back.
You need to gesture like you want to talk, it’s kind of a lean and eye contact thing, open mouth as well.
The only way I can picture this: Face the talker, lean forward at the hip joint as far as balance allows, rotate both arms like V-22 Osprey propellers, mouth wide open without making a sound.
I don't think this is an exclusively autistic feeling. I feel it often.
Unless...
Everytime I see these posts I experience this. Can somebody who definitely is not autistic please confirm that this doesn't occur in their life?
It's like peeing. Everyone does it, but if you do it 50 times a day see a doctor.
But what's the normal amount? At what point does it become evidence of neurodiversity?
That's why you see the doctor.
That's the problem with neurodivergent disorders. There's not a single behaviour or symptom that is exclusive to them.
