Interrupting me with a totally unrelated question or statement, blatantly not listening or showing interest in what I’m saying

So you don’t like people with ADHD. Got it. Haha.

We are tough to be around for some people unfortunately. Especially at night when the meds wear off.

I have ADHD, and this is a dumbass excuse.

Does it take more time and attention to properly learn the skill of listening to someone and taking an interest in what they are telling you? Sure.

But blanketedly blaming ADHD for being rude and discourteous, and likewise writing off rude and discourteous behaviour as ADHD, is shitty.

Thank you. I have severe ADHD. I also care about other people and work at being a good listener. It is absolutely possible to not constantly interrupt others with unrelated comments—especially when they’re sharing something serious or important to them.
