Hey, does he have ADD \ ADHD ?

 Working in a retail store I get to see and meet all kinds of people.  I work for a food vendor in Supermarkets across the area. 

The other day while working in Wal-Mart,  I came a.cross this couple shopping.   I noticed he was using an expensive organizer book with his list on it.   Then I noticed the book looked rather new.


My first thought was this guy had attention Deficit Disorder.   I know that I have lists everywhere.   I use composition books so pages can't get lost like in a traditional pad of paper.   My second thought was he just started his new book and was proudly showing it off.  He probably had other books and lists before.  Maybe a pile of half filled ones like I do.   


Let me stop here, before I make this an ADD /ADHD moment.  Look for a future post on using lists and books to remember things. 


Later on he was shopping in the aisle I was working in.  I realized I new him.   We had worked together in retail of course.   I remember how he had a motor mouth.  You couldn't start a conversation and expect to walk away quickly.   I have this thing. We all talk, but lets work while were talking.  And not stop and get distracted.   


Then it hit me.  I was right he does have ADHD.   Classic can't stand still, always talking.   


I guess it does take one to know one!
