[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 119548, member: 47"] My ADHD has definately morphed as I have aged. I still have the bouts of lack of impulse control and if there is any excitement going on, I still can feel that "rush" starting. And I do keep SO, kids and friends amused by the rapid fire changing subjects when someone is talking - things pop into my head and just shoot out of my mouth that have nothing to do with anything - still have not managed to get ahold of that problem. Like Trinity, having a job that is stimulating lets me put my ADHD to good use. I can multi task like no ones business - I concentrate to the point where I don't even hear someone calling me, or the phone ringing. There will be five different files open on my desk I am working on, while talking on the phone, while sending an email on something totally unrelated, or reading one and be answering an IM at the same time . Its really a rare occassion where I mess something up I get so in the "zone" I manage to pace myself, but there are those often times where I will be past my zone and on overload, at which time I shut down and start cleaning my office. When I had a larger staff, they knew "cleaning time" meant overload, and they would head into my office and help out and start taking some of my work LOL Am happy its morphed a bit - I can just be still for a lot longer period of time, but it doesn't last all THAT long - there has to be motion going on or I get a major case of the antsy's.
