Twitter Thread Explains The 'Dolphin Mind' Of People With ADHD

We never thought we'd see the day that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be used to explain the way people with ADHD think, but that day has officially come. In a thread from earlier this week, Twitter user @3TrackMind79 shares the nuances of what he likes to call "dolphin brain," and how these rapid-paced thoughts can lead NTs (neuro-typicals) to become confused when people with ADHD pepper their conversations with what might seem like non sequiturs. It's an interesting and amusing read, and definitely gives some valuable insight for those of us want to communicate better with our friends with attention disorders.

$Sky - * The #DREADpirate Shannon @3TrackMind79 Our brains don't wait for a response from the other person. It's not rudeness or impatience. We can't control it. It's just how our brains work. So, NTs only see what breaches the surface, which is just a fraction of what's happening. GIF$
