Question

What is the first thing people think when someone says they have a.d.h.d?

Answer 1

"Wow... our society is rather pathetic when we have to come up with an excuse for how horribly rude some people are"

Just like "sugar makes me hyper"... actually - sugar has No correlation to the amount of energy a person has.

Answer 2

I think "attention w***e."  

Answer 3

I think wow, shut up.

Answer 4

Just that the person is really energetic and has trouble concentrating on things.  I've known a number of people with ADHD and really liked all of their personalities.  They're fun people to be around.  I just wouldn't mention it at a job interview because then they'll think it would interfere with you performing the job, but in any other situation, it wouldn't matter to me if I heard somebody had ADHD.

Answer 5

To all those unsympathetic people out there. ADHD isn't an excuse its a reason!!

and most people who genuinely have it wouldn't be using it as an excuse, justt looking for a bit of understanding!

Answer 6

Someone making excuses- sorry, I know that's not always the case but that's just my first reaction

Answer 7

flighty
