As someone who generally notices errors in spelling, grammar & punctuation, I have to say your punctuation is pretty good! You’ve even managed to correctly use a semicolon in there

I seem to be quite unusual amongst ADDers in having a very pedantic streak when it comes to things like this (I think you could say my ADD has a slightly Aspergersy flavour!), and it can make it a challenge to read some things posted on ADD sites as I have to overcome my urge to point out people’s mistakes! Thankfully I do usually manage to bite my tongue (even if inside I’m screaming at the screen!).

Thank you Lisa! Acceptance at last!

Tyler,

Don’t you get the feeling they want to weed us out? Society says only the strong survive and use that excuse to bring it on. I am not convinced that it’s the right way–as a matter of fact, I am convinced it is not!

No, not music necessarily, but rather dreams, fantasies, inventions, creations and all sorts of random thoughts about so many different things. I love music with words, just not when I am trying to focus. Words bring across ideas and can take me away from an idea I might be trying to concentrate on.

Thanks for commenting… ~Bryan

I’ve had similar public humiliations. A college professor ounce spent half the class ridiculing my hand writing on a test paper. He didn’t mention my name but he was so mad his face was red and he was yelling.Thank god for typing.

I have ADHD and listen to instrumental music constantly. I began doing this to silence the music in my head. Do you have the problem of being distracted by music in your head? Thanks

To be honest Bryan, I never have noticed any grammar errors. If you had the time to edit everything you wrote you could make it all perfect but whats the point. It probably would discourage you from writing your blogs so don’t worry. If you see other people who write perfect they probably have edited their writing or studied grammar….alot. You are fine just the way you are. I’d rather read your raw feelings then some polished up thing I couldn’t relate too.

Oh and yes, I use music for everything!!! Only thing is I still go for the music with words, which can be and is often distracting to me. Maybe one of these days I’ll be a big girl and try some instrumental music…
