5 THINGS TO NOTE — BEFORE — Confronting the person with ADHD (or me)

Before you have said anything, and before you have even opened your mouth.

1. I have already heard what you said
2. Answered you
3. Yelled at you (maybe)
4. Finished the conversation.
5. Sometimes I even walk away before the conversations ends

So its like….

-hello?

When I was a kid — these moments gave me an upper-hand… So, I thought.

I would know exactly what my parents were going to tell me, before they even said it.

So, I answered her without actually listening (Horrible I know, but I couldnt help it.)

moms are smart, she learned quickly that I wasnt actually listening unless everything was shut off and she had my undivided attention. She made sure everything was off before talking to me… even occasionally, unplugging my game when I WAS SO CLOSE TO …. zip GAMEOVER. IHUGKFGLIHAOIHFGAILUHOAS. But, in real life situations, its best to expect the unexpected.

Life is an experiment.
