Yes I do too. My post is moreso wondering like what do people think of us because we do have noticeable behavioral patterns.

Only time it happens to me is when I’m playing games with friends. They will call me out for wandering off in team games. Or when I bring up my interests too often. But literally nothing big

Yeah, I’m wondering what people actually think deep inside that they don’t say to us lol.

I don’t think you have to worry about it, people don’t give a shit most of the time. I mean do you have deep inside thoughts about people with autism or other things like that?

I have a concept of an idea of them. But I do notice when someone is autistic even if it’s high functioning. I’m wondering how to people perceive of me having adhd cause it’s really obvious.

Thanks for being honest, no stress. Do you feel this way any other places outside of school? Like maybe a friend hangout or smth having to do with professionalism, etc?

Also is it just the lack of focus and hyperactivity that is frustrating? Does fidgeting also annoy, and getting on long tangents? what about the eye contact and mannerisms?

in my experience i have only ever had one friend i got superrr close with who had adhd. she REFUSED to listen to anyone about seeking treatment or a diagnosis though, but it was very obvious but thats also her choice. in the workplace i find that a lot of people who have adhd use it as an excuse for their shortcomings. i understand it impacts your day to day, but you still have a job and that job needs to be done correctly. i hold everyone to the same standards i would hold myself to though so

What about people who have it severe and you can see it in their mannerisms, their train of thought when they speak in the context of casualness, but they are very competent with work and don’t blame shortcomings on adhd, they don’t even really let it happen much

Like is it just annoying or weird to see for example someone almost aggressively bouncing their leg in a convo

i would speak for yourself, executive dysfunction affects many things in daily life that have nothing to do with school

Bringing up personal interests too often can be irritating IMO. I supposedly have it bc I’m diagnosed and my other friend prolly does too but they’re not diagnosed. They will continue a tangent on their interests or specific things in life and I feel like I could disappear and they wouldn’t notice. When I talk to someone, I often try and avoid putting someone in listening jail. So I feel like adhd mannerisms can be regulated instead of being considered uncontrollable.
