Hello everyone,
I'm angelicgoddess and I'm diagnosed with ADD. I found out that I don't really fit in with the ADD crowd. After reading Grandin's "My life with autism" I'm not so sure I've got ADD.

Classic tests say I'm not autistic because I have good communication skills (English is my second language so I guess you guys won't see it that way) and I'm interested in people. If I'm honest though... I communicate well because I've tought myself to do so. I don't have much interests excépt communications and psychology. I can't grasp social hierarchy structures and I get a major headache from interacting with groups... etc etc etc

So here I am... I'm curious if this ís my homeplanet.

Welcome by the way.

Didn't see that one comming

Well no, I mean that no matter what she will post, it can never be bad.
I'm interested in hearing about other peoples stories, so I don't see a pressure. :wink:

EDIT: Now you didn't have any double-irony in that sentence, did you?

yes, by communication skills they dont mean the ability to put words together

i dont think ive seen a single un-eloquent post in here (maybe except "un-eloquent")
it has more to do with non-verbal communication.
