Denial | ADHD Information

As I was growing up I felt that I was just a little bit slower then others, and I compensated in one way or another. About 6 yrs ago I met, and later to become one of my best friends, and she introduced me to ADD/ADHD, as her husband was diagnosed with it.
I didn't really give it much thought, until my husband and I went to counseling, and the counselor gave him a book on ADD/ADHD. I could relate, and again was not ready.

I am ready to admit that I have an extra gift, and I have to work at my challenges from a differant angle. I so appreciate the input that this msg. board gives me. I have more hope, just knowing that I am not alone. Thanks everyone.

Your certainly welcome "acceptance." How was it that you felt slower?

I felt slow, because I wasn't as quick to understand or make a reply to the conversations that were going on around me. Sounds funny, but I would just drift off, during the conversation, and miss the whole punch lineI have a different "version" of it...I would more likely interrupt them, finish their sentence, and go on to another subject...which obviously comes across as rude.... Crazy, I just posted a VERY similar situation with myself!!!!! I would love for you to read it! It was posted on 09/04/04
