> So Jeanna, you have ADHD too? Your little comment (below) is so funny but so true. I can flip back & forth between different subjects mid-sentence so often that friends can have trouble figuring out what I'm saying. And I make the exact sound "ooohh!" whenever I see something that excites me & break stride in whatever I'm thinking, saying, or doing.

Shiny!)Hi Im new to this news group and was just reading this thread when it struck me as funny and true in the same. I too am a "brain dumper" as I call it and often people ask me if Im "on something"...to which I reply "nah just life". Often finishing a sentence outloud or asking someone a question about a subject we havent been talking about but I have been mulling it over in my head. Its funny to see their faces like "wha" or "huh" they look like the weirdo not me haha.I always wondered if I had ADHD as a child. I consider myself pretty smart but couldnt concentrate on anything long enough in school to do well at anything realy in particular just good all round. I was always known as the class clown and was often in trouble for disturbing others and talking too much ohh and being a wise ass. Any fellow ADHD people relate to this one? It would be interesting for me to compare myself and my traits to others out there. Thanks for listening and I hope I can make some new and interesting friends here.
