Counterpoint: I’m a twisty mofo and my adhd friend would often enough times respond to something he thought I was going to say instead of the thing I actually said (since I’m a twisty mofo) because he would be concentrating on not interrupting rather than listening.
I’m not placing blame, that’s adhd, just thought it was funny (except those times when it was just frustrating).
This is the case most of the time. It’s a problem with ADHD folk, it’s something we work on in order to improve. I don’t know why, as of lately, there’s so many people with ADHD (and autism) that have managed to convinced themselves they have some kind of superpower. It’s like they got their diagnosis and then fucked right off from therapy.
You can have fun with this by finding contexts that make their response sound silly for “what you were going to say”. Kinda like Pinky and the Brain’s “Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Pinky?” “I think so, but how will we convince the flies to put on the tiny shoes, Brain?”
