Or sometimes you find your point as you're talking.

Yeah.

Right.

Like you start talking and then like, oh, so what I really am actually trying to say is.

Yeah.

It's funny how you said you had to train yourself out of that as a psychiatrist.

As a psychologist, I have I had the habit of I would start the whole conversation in my head and then eventually my mouth would start would would like share the conversation.

But people would be like, what?

And so I had a friend actually who would say, I need you to leave and come back and start at the beginning.

And I was like, oh, excuse me.

Oh, that is what I'm doing.

And so it was that feedback from a friend that was like, you are starting like in the middle of a thought.

Stop that.

Because as a baby therapist, like my patients would, you know, patients are so kind to us sometimes, right?

And they're like, yeah, that's interesting.

I will try that.

But nobody actually tells you you didn't make any sense.

But thankfully, we had videotapes where I could be like, oh, what was I doing there?

I mean, this is one of those things that, like, because these are... Like, we're talking... When we're talking about, like, oh, these uncommon or unknown or untalked-about symptoms of ADHD, I think that what the disconnect is is, like...

our science or like the DSM has everything boiled down into these like fundamental symptoms.
