Today, I told my husband that I think he has ADHD. He was offended and began to argue, then he got distracted by a dog outside. FML

I'm not ADHD, but I will drop everything to pet a puppy when I see one.

ADHD isn't a thing you are, it's a thing you have... You just said "I am attention deficit hyperactivity disorder"

Well he said he isn't, so technically he's right...

That's debatable. Some say "have", some say "are". I'm ADOS myself - as you can tell, I'm in the "are" crowd, which from where I'm standing seems to be mainly auties, aspies, activists, etc.

He meant ASD. The ADOS is a measure used to diagnose autism- it stands for the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule.

I'm ADHD so I can re-SQUIRREL

idk why jokes like this still go around, nobody says stuff like that when it comes to ocd, or anxiety they're getting really annoying it's not 2007 anymore

Real talk, why is the squirrel the go-to animal in ADHD jokes? Where do y'all live where a squirrel is interesting and uncommon? I'm more likely to be distracted by a slightly-uneven paint job on a fence than a squirrel. Just food for thought for when you wanna make fun of people with brain imbalances

it's comparing them to dogs. dogs, that often seen easily distracted. especially if they see a squirrel. Wasn't the movie "Up" where the reference came from?

I'm actually full adhd and I'll admit that a squirrel or other random animals have distracted me from conversations before, also it's a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard

Hey 12, I suffer from severe ocd and I just- aw shit my bookshelf isn't symmetrical now I gotta go buy another red 1 1/2 inch book!

<<<<<<Stop dog whoring.

<<<<<I'm sorry my dog caused you distress

I'm more annoyed that the arrows do not actually point to the dog.

Now i want to know what they're pointing at?

Take him to a doctor to get it checked out. It's for the best for your family.

"Take him" ? If he's old enough to get married, I'm pretty sure that he's old enough to go to the doctors by himself.
