I’m not trying to put anyone down or upset anyone with these words. It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with the words. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think ADHD is a wonderful thing. I’m just trying to get an idea what words people are using to describe those of us with ADHD and/or our actions. Later, I will be looking for positive words. Just for future reference, I am now mirroring these posts on the ADDer World — Anything and Everything ADHD site.
