The lighter side of ADHD

Nonsense. That never happens. Now pass me the... transparent liquid... that's good for hydration...
Luckily my friends get it. I just say a bunch of similar words or things related to the vibe of the word I'm searching for and they get it.

Some people here should take a look at the sticky post in this community...
A painful amount.

Ah, but watch out for the surprise single player edition where I get annoyed with my dialogue partner having the audacity trying to guess what I wanted to say.
And you have a crystal clear mental image of your intent, but there is absolutely no other way to describe but “you know, the thing that does the somewhat tangential word that still isn’t right… the thing!! Y u no understand!?!”
And the extra side game of; "I found a word thst kind of does the job, and I've explained what I needed to, but it wasn't that word and I will be unsatisfied until I figure out what that word is!"
So, I always thought this was more a autism thing
Autism and ADHD have a large overlap in symptoms, but have enough to be distinct experiences.
It’s a human thing.
Every fucking day multiple words and concepts a day. Sometimes only days later the word comes back and then "fuck that's what I wanted to say" and keep repeating the word for hours in hopes of not forgetting again.
It's like I always forget what I'm going to say when I walk through... Uh... Those things you have to move aside if you want to enter a room? Fuck! What are they called?
Bellhops.
They can get lost in their thoughts sometimes, but usually they are very helpful.
And they don’t get it right but want to move on with the conversation. Now you don’t hear anything they say, just trying to remember the word. You try to force yourself to listen but you can’t stop your brain from going through every word you know.
Two hours later you yell out “effervescent”. You’re overcome with relief only to realize the other person is one and now you’re in a work meeting.
This happens to me a lot, I didn’t know it was a symptom of adhd.
I’ve always had this where I “know” what I want to say but the right words aren’t there, or I’ll be thinking multiple words to articulate the thought and mash them together. Is that the same thing?
I also change topics a lot and then jump back, which my brother hates, but it’s how I naturally follow trains of thought.
I seems to have that to. Also not knowing it was adhd.. sounds possible
It can be kind of fun...
My wife wants to play this stupid-ass game all the time, I hate it. It would not be too bad if the gesticulation and words trying to hint at it made sense...but It's just her waving her arms like she's having a seizure while mumbling nonsensically, and her getting annoyed at me becauae she doesn't make any fucking sense.
She wants to play it? Man, I hate this game.
Maybe you just aren't good at the game. Have you thought about taking a remedial adhd charades class to get better at it?
