And,...:D I suppose I don't find that shocking! And, I can relate...I was a theater performer for years, but often could not sit through other people's performances. I felt really badly about it but just could not do it. Which is funny because when I was a little tiny girl I would sit through long plays. Probably because they were new to me then!18 Channelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841490256076600058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242031562910794955.post-38038428646372112692011-03-19T08:14:15.071-07:002011-03-19T08:14:15.071-07:00Would it shock you to know that a large percentage...Would it shock you to know that a large percentage of comedians also have ADHD?

I'm still following, just haven't been commenting much lately on any of the blogs I follow.<br /><br /> You wrote: "900 people laugh just a few rooms away. I'm alone in the dark and it soothes me more than any comedy can." I know this feeling very well.<br /><br /> The "funny" thing about it is...I can't stand the silence, so I listen to loud hard driving rock/blues to soothe my busy mind. But I feel the need to be alone when I do this. Sounds insane I know, but it helps me achieve a bit of (self observed..lol) sanity.Scott Hutsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454268138477849476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242031562910794955.post-24398907206873716382011-03-10T09:36:54.454-08:002011-03-10T09:36:54.454-08:00Hi, I am a fellow ADHD woman and I am following yo...Hi, I am a fellow ADHD woman and I am following your blog.
