I am a practicing clinical psychologist who works with AD(H)D children, adolescents and adults, helping them develop strategies for optimum functioning with their brain style. I have lived my whole life with AD(H)D, and despite all the challenges, I am still married to the same person and have raised two sons, one of whom is ADHD. Completing my doctorate was arduous, to say the least. But I did it! To Be Successful, You Need Coaching for ADD!

How Do You Stop The URGE to interrupt?
How do you stop the “urge” to interrupt an ongoing situation. I just shared a house on Cape Cod with three other people. They were all absorbed in reading for an hour or so. I became restless and inadvertently kept interrupting the three with questions and comments. They gave me feedback on my lack of restraint and unwillingness to occupy myself. So the next reading time, I had to work hard to restraining the “urge” to interrupt and find something else to do. Without their feedback I was totally aware of how my ADD disinhibited behavior was so annoying.
