[quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a child with ADHD where this is one of the biggest symptoms, I can only say, if you have to ask, then they're probably fine!

I'll be trying to leave his room and he will be following me, talking, even as I am smiling wanly and slowly shutting the door behind me, nodding at him, saying "ok I'm shutting the door now... ok, goodnight.... ok, I'm going to shut this now..."    We will be in the car, and his sister will start crying after half an hour and begging him to just stop talking to she can say something.  I will say "you need to stop talking.  Close your mouth.  Close it." and his sister will chat with me for a bit, and as soon as she takes a breath or we fall silent, he will pick up right where he left off.  I love him, and I'm interested in his thoughts and like to hear what he has to say, but it's utterly exhausting. We can't watch a sporting event on TV without his constant commentary.  I have jokingly threatened to duct tape his mouth shut so I can actually hear what the refs are saying in a Commander's game.  But like.... I'm only half joking.  My husband can't even handle it, he watches the game alone in his office now. [/quote]
