the frazzledness in your head that comes with avoiding the rush hour traffic.

That's a good extra little point.

Yeah, you can have some quiet time at the coffee area, coffee machine, without having to talk about the weather with your colleague.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, so again, this one's for the workplace really.

And it's asking for a grace period after a meeting because...

I've been in hundreds of meetings in my career, and so many times there's a problem that is put to the group, everyone in the meeting.

And you always get the loud, extroverted person shouting out an answer, and so many times that's the solution that the group runs with, when a lot of the time there's such problems

brilliance and creativity that is trapped inside anxious minds.

So somebody who might have all the HD sat in that meeting, biting their fingernails, tapping their foot under the table, fidgeting with their pen, unable to contribute and put their idea to the problem forward in that environment.

because of anxiety whereas if you put a grace period between the the delivery of the problem say half an hour and then people can go away in a environment that they feel safe in and then submit problems to the solution in a safe way like for example an email or maybe a drop box on the wall and time and time again if you just give that half an hour that half an hour grace period then you unlock the brilliance and the creativity that is so often trapped inside all dhd minds and

And it can build resentment and a sensitivity to injustice because you'll see that idea rolled out and you know that your idea was better, but you just didn't have the environment around you that enabled you to deliver it.

Yeah, that's devastating.

Yeah, an email is brilliant because, again, it avoids the awkwardness of having to approach someone face-to-face.

So much anxiety can be avoided if we start communicating or at least give the option to communicate electronically rather than face-to-face.

Phone calls, face-to-face conversations can be an overstimulating, anxious disaster for so many people.

And because of that,

It's almost like this paralysis that stops the brilliance and the potential and the ambition that is trapped inside so many all-DHD people from coming out.

And because of that, they...

perhaps don't get that promotion or they don't get that recognition that they deserve.
