I don't want to change myself to much, i just wish i could spend the day doing nothing like so many other people seem to do. An example-I mixed and laid 3 tonne of concrete yesterday in my kitchen floor, cleaned up, had a shower then did a 10 k run, came home, had some food, didn't get to sleep until 3am. Up at 7 this morning, went and did a job in Llandaff, pulled aceiling down and re boarded it, came home, tidied the house, cut the grass and had a go at the windows. That's a pretty standard weekend-i can't keep ****ing still!
Putting that energy into positive things as you do is alright. I know a few people like you, struggle to get to sleep is the main issue they have, some drink to knock out, some don’t and just make do on 4/5 hours. Weed tends to have the opposite affect as you get older, it used to make you chill out when young, but freak out when old. Used to dabble but never was a smoker so gave it up 15 years ago....

I suppose you're right. It's difficult when my missus wants to do something relaxing or where i have to concentrate for quite a long period. It's hard work and a bit embarrassing at times as i start getting a bit disruptive :hehe:
When i was in school they'd send me out with the caretaker instead of lessons sometimes, i'd be weeding the flower beds and sweeping the yard, i was a disaster in lessons. I wasn't stupid though, although i'm not saying that i'm the brightest.

You mentioned ADHD earlier, were you ever diagnosed with it?
Re: Do you like going to the pub ?
Get Tuerto started on a vaccine and we can put all this behind us by Christmas by the sounds of it

Never diagnosed, although the doctor said that it sounded like i may have it. My missus and my mother are certain that i have it.

My son (now 12 years old) has it quite badly; domestic life is a constant strain, with one of the comorbidities of the disorder being defiance.
School life is extremely challenging to say the least, with his often unreasonable behaviour (just try and picture him in a classroom full of ultra-disciplined Chinese school kids!).
He's not stupid though, he recently sat his important middle-school entrance exam and scored 99% for maths (Chinese kids are about 2 years ahead of their British peers, they're insanely competitive!).

is adhd on the autism spectrum ?
Re: Do you like going to the pub ?
Nothing better than calling into the pub for a couple of pints after a long walk with my wife and our dog, and a bag of chips on the way home. We walked to the Blue Anchor from Barryrecently, and that first pint, in a pub since lockdown was fantastic and luckily, our daughter came to pick us up.

ADHD isn't on the autism spectrum, however, they do have some of the same symptoms. Also, if you have one of the disorders it increases the chances of getting the other.

my mate has adhd , he's on respiridone
Re: Do you like going to the pub ?
I love going to the pub. It is a great escape from the outside world. Also, I love good beer so it’s a great place to try good draught ales and lagers plus a great place to meet mates with no washing up and you can leave whenever you’ve had enough if someone’s being annoying or tedious.
Regarding ADHD, speed (dexamphetamine) is a really effective treatment but I’m no doctor.
