[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a friend who I adore, and I enjoy talking on the phone with her, but whoa, her ADHD makes it difficult: she can never stay on topic, and ending a conversation is next to impossible. She admits this is a problem, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can kindly do to keep her on and track and make it easier for me to hang out? Giving her a deadline, even made-up, doesn't help.[/quote] As someone with ADHD and with family members with severe ADHD, I have developed a few strategies to stay on track. People with ADHD often hyoer focus and have difficulty transitioning smoothly and quickly. At beginning set time frame - I have x amount of time. Provide frequent redirects - how does this connect to X theme or topic that we were talking about? Often it does connect but they have 3-10 steps in their heads that got them there. Finally, I like CCs advice to simply state when you need to go in friendly way. Good luck. [/quote]
