Oh, groan, I've been that way all my life! Only difference is, I wouldn't have put the junk mail in the wastebasket -- would've gotten distracted thinking of something & tossed out the bills, leaving the ads on the table. Then I would have taken a nap!
Funny, I read the replies and without watching the movie, thought, "we should sprinkle some Ritalin here on the PS" Then I switched on the movie...imagine my feelings!
OK I am a poster child for ADHD but here is the funniest part. I was never diagnosed as a child and never treated, and with horrible ADHD, I was a straight A student, an M.D. , a Ph.D, made a career in two countries, and whatever I had not achieved was due to an illness far, far worse than ADHD. All went well till I realized I had ADHD and then things started falling apart, totally! As if I got the blessing to behave in ADHD + way! Also, since the illness is socially acceptable, everyone is supportive. Go say, "I am a daydreaming, unmotivated, disorganized slob" and watch people's faces. But say, "I have ADHD", and the third of the room will say, "me, too! Have you tried Vyvanse?"
So before you know about ADHD, you simply can not afford being an absentminded slob, but once you get the diagnosis, it becomes worse.
BTW, if anyone ever reads my thread about losing a mint garnet and then finding it 5 weeks later, it is a classic example of ADHD. Sorry for venting, this movie hit such a raw nerve...
