Some Thoughts For Those Who “Know”
More than I would like, I encounter people who respond to hearing about ADHD, mine or ADHD in general, with “Oh, I do that.” implying that ADHD in adults is not really a problem because we do not behave like the archetype little boy bouncing off the walls. They also say, “This is nothing important. . .it is not like you have ” some dreadful disease”!. . . .You people are really smart… It is just A behavior disorder….you can deal with it. . .” All of these responses show that this person either does NOT know anything or is denying the realities of ADHD.

However, noticing the need for housework does not mean that I will do it that day or even the… Continue reading
