… flock together
When I found out I have ADHD I began to see traits in many of my friends and family members. I started to think I was getting obsessed and seeing ADHD in everyone!
We touch the lives of others briefly sometimes, and then lose touch. Friends have come and gone over the years, and some have been with me for a long time. I thought about all the people I get on best with in my life and how much we have in common. Is there a pattern there?
Maybe we see ADHD traits in others who are close to us, because we get on well with like minded people. It takes a lot of patience to live and work with us, and our friends are often the ones who understand and accept us. Also, the condition is hereditary, so it’s not surprising that many of our closest family members have traits.
So I don’t think I’m seeing ADHD in everyone – I think I just naturally enjoying spending time with people who get me.
