The lighter side of ADHD
I've done this a lot...even though I'm not confirmed to have ADHD, I'm autistic though
so daydreaming is a coping mechanism that our brains use for boredom. boredom is something people with ADHD experience more frequently.
in other words, many daydreamers have ADHD but not all
Also, cognitive disengagement syndrome or CDS. (It is not recognized yet by the DSM, though).
I don't care who recognizes it as a disorder. If it exists, it exists.
Yep! CDS is at a weird place. I've worked with people who present that way - it's quite different from ADHD. I think over the years we're going to reshift some of how we look at ADHD and sister conditions.
I understand this and I hate that, lol.
“Can we just get a brief recap to make sure we’re all on the same page?”
"We just did a recap Brandy! Have you not been listening??"
At that point you just admit you were thinking about Batman fighting Iron Man.
So was it dissociate or disassociate??
Same here, buddy...
"Sorry, it cut out for me. Can you repeat that last part?"
I use this line in... a lot of online meetings.
I just say I was doing something else for a moment. It’s not my fault if they assume that something else was work related.
I'll try this one. Sadly I don't have the luxury of online meetings.
I sometimes wonder if zoomers pretend they have bad internet in real life interactions.
If that sounds like something a boomer would say: I'm a millenial
I don’t even explain, I just say “sorry say that again? Oh ok”
Also gotta love when the noise filter filters out your snoring, so the person you're talking to doesn't know you didn't hear because you fell asleep. Over and over through your conversation.
Sometimes if you spaced out for too long, you could just say "sorry, the call was going crazy for a minute there, all I got was you saying thursday..."
So Thursday?
