[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, all the time. I refer to it as a TED talk most of the time. For him, it is hyperfocus of interests plus inability to immediately recognize when someone else isn't interested that are a feature of his ADHD. He has learned to recognize when I am not interested or are busy, and I have learned to speak up and tell him if I don't have the capacity to attend a TED talk. He usually doesn't take it personally. I don't think that all conversations with my partner need to be a conversational tennis game. Sometimes one of us is just talking to the other one, explaining or describing a thing, while the other one is listening. [/quote] Agree, I'm not saying that there is not a space for listening or conversational tennis. I guess the worst part is when we are at the dinner table. When he happens to do this there, it's a weird dynamic because it feels like he is just dominating and we all have to listen or act interested.[/quote]
