All my best friends also have ADHD

I am wondering....are people with ADHD more likely to befriend other people with ADHD? Could it be because we find neurotypical people boring? (not an insult, just an observation)

My sister and I were just talking about this today. I do think everyone, NT and ND alike, tends to gravitate towards like minded people.

Good question. I agree with smlawrence0413 that people tend to 'gravitate towards like minded people.' That being said, I don't know of any of my friends that have ADHD (Diagnosed and take an ADHD Rx).

In my family, I believe there are many. But none will go for a diagnosis, or anything else. I don't spend much time with family-often it's like being in a circus. Too much Drama.
