(from 1000 awesome things)
"Do you ever find yourself chatting with friends when someone suddenly says “Hey, how did we start talking about this?”
That’s when you find yourself quickly unwinding your off-the-rails conversation by jumping backwards through scattered anecdotes and interconnected stories. As you unravel the jumbly mystery you’re suddenly a speedy detective racing back through the universe at warp speed to tighten a couple screws so your tightly twisted brain can relax back into a world that makes sense again."
as someone with adhd, this happens a lot... finding myself at a point in the conversation where i can't turn back. this is where friends with a 'normal' thought pattern come in handy - to bring me back to the touch point.
