ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Picking up on the drama of the previous episode, we continue the series on how ADHD affects our social skills. As many of you know, social skills are more challenging for us than others who don’t have ADHD. And even within the ADHD population, there are some who are more impacted by this symptom than others.

WHY THIS TOPIC?
I chose “Over/Under reacting” as the number-three of the most worrisome Social Skills because it is a theme that has popped up in my life enough that caused me to think there was something wrong with my personality. I’ve lost friends over this particular quirk and it’s led me down paths where I prioritized things that didn’t need immediate attention and catastrophized events that didn’t warrant the drama I gave to it.

FIND OUT IF YOU REALLY HAVE ADHD
If you have not received an official ADHD diagnosis but want one, here is a self-assessment to help you on your journey. The assessment is provided by the Attention Deficit Disorder Association.
