@[Shelley100:5471], I myself suffer from severe ADD and I personally think you have a bit of a wrong vision on ADD/ADHD. ADD doesn't mean your social skills are in some way lacking, it means that you have a hard tiem focusing on things. I, for example, took 15 minutes writing this little piece of text because I stared at the window every few seconds. I'm not on medication and have always had a good social life (although I was never that popular with teachers, though maybe my legendary stubbornness played a role as well), because all it takes is a bit of extra work and a lot of self-control (which you have to learn over a very long time) to be like "normal" people. ADD isn't like autism, you have the exact same view on the world as normal people, your social skills aren't naturally lacking. I've suffered from my ADD (it's hard to keep a job when you constantly have to buy things from a store and then forget to put the change back in the register. Or forget to do all your chores. Or wash one plate per 5 minutes. After a while, it gets hard for people to believe that it were all accidents) but there are a lot of worse conditions in the world and I just can't see why someone would feel so different from other people if you have ADD or ADHD. I'm sorry if you feel different but I definitely think that way. |
