I am a blurter - I've gotten in trouble many times by blurting out the wrong thing.
I interrupt others - not because I'm mean but because in my head I'm already on to the next topic.
I react too quickly - again, been in mucho trouble before because of this one.
I get angry at the wrong times (sometimes) - Tom could go on about this one for 4 hours.
I can't direct my energy from an idea to take action.
I need to do ten things at once to stay alert and focused.
I am curious. WOW - I didn't know that was a symptom of ADD. The description says ADDers are rarely able to let anything go by without asking "But, why?". I'm sure Tom could entertain you for days with some of the stupid questions I've asked him. 3 memorable ones: How do they know there are no chickens in the eggs they sell at the grocery store? Why are there time zones? and my favorite....Who told the people in Georgia that it was the same exact time that it is in New York? *sigh* - God bless my husband for putting up with this shit.
Blah. So there it is. I'm not lazy, crazy or stupid. I'm an ADDer. Hm. I could use that excuse for a lot of things. Watch out, Patty! Dave & Patty want to invent a light that attaches to my forehead so that when I'm in ADD mode (really, Dave tells long stories, I can't help it), the light goes off so they know I'm not paying attention anymore. Nice idea, but unless it comes with a *really* cute hat, I'm not wearing it. :)
