A poll to feel out a personal observation regarding those with actual diagnosed (not just self-identified) ADHD. Answers based on your experience as one with such a diagnosis or based on observations of family or close friends of such. Comments welcome.
I said we’re better at making jokes, and my only rationale is you have to have a sense of humor about yourself to live with this disorder, or else you will go insane.
So my sense of humor tends heavily toward the self-deprecating.
With maybe a tiny bit of a creativity bonus. Creative people tend to be faster with jokes, I think. Some of the dialogue I write is pretty funny, but it often seems like it’s funnier than I am. Maybe my subconscious is funnier than my conscious mind.
