[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno anything about this. I'm severely ADHD and have a fairly thriving social life. About as good as it gets. I get complimented on my social/people skills often and have often worked in sales jobs. I find my ADHD was an advantage and most of my more popular friends have ADD or ADHD So... I can't tell you. But practice and socializing will help any kid get better at social situations, if you're worried about that for your own child [/quote] LOL! Same here. I have ADHD and had a very busy social life when I was younger and single, jet setting socialite caliber. I was "charming", "bubbly" and "vivacious" all of which I realize now is part of my ADHD. When I was a kid, the emotional meltdowns and the impulsivity was a problem like the pp describes. It's mostly about learning to channel the energy and making myself to be on time and act like a responsible adult that came with maturity that's helped the most.[/quote]
