Totally understand the statistical correlation with ADHD, but I’m more-so asking about the combination of ADHD + Giftedness + no internal monologue. As I’ve been discovering these things about myself, I feel like I’m finally putting the puzzle pieces together. Having a fast-thinking mind trying to explain abstract or complex concepts to somebody when I don’t even have a stream of words lined up... And that’s the thing as well… I stutter horribly when I have any kind of script. My brain is split on phonetically pronouncing the words on the page and actually processing the words that I’m saying. I speak best when it’s completely off the cuff. Then at the same time my brain ends up running too fast for me to even keep up. I feel like a supercomputer with an outdated speaker. It’s like somebody forgot to upgrade that part…
