What is your initial impression of people with ADHD?

Good ideas. Creative. Enthusiastic. Able to spot new opportunities. Bad at finishing things. A bit flakey and disorganised. Likeable. Will randomly change the subject in conversations which is kind of annoying.

I definitely have a short attention span. I spent a lot of my time in school daydreaming and looking out the window, but was never disruptive. In my work as a librarian it tends to be an advantage, since it’s easy for me to move from one task to another.

My immediate reaction probably depends on the delivery, but I’m likely to think you crave attention and/or were pampered too much as a child.

One of my good friends has ADHD. As a kid he was yep what you might expect (immature, hyper etc.), but as an adult he’s very calm and reasonable, a really cool guy to hang out with.
