  • I was. As a boy, I had undiagnosed ADHD and had a terrible time managing my emotions. It wouldn’t take much for me to cry, like getting out in dodgeball. It was easy ammo for the bullies. My parents were very controlling which stunted my social growth and I had very few friends. I remember one of the boys being dared to put his arm around my shoulders at lunch. I thought he legitimately wanted to connect with me until he started counting out loud. All I could do was put my head down in shame…I don’t look back on my childhood very fondly. Things were rough.












  • you haven’t watched the movie.

    I know this is a common experience with ADHD, but somehow I’m the opposite. Visual media makes me hyper focus. As a kid, I was usually the only one still awake at the end of a late night movie. If there’s a tv on and someone is trying to talk to me, it takes a lot of effort to focus on what’s being said to me. I can’t put things on in the background unless it’s just music. Does anyone else experience this?
