ADHD SENSITIVITY & RSD

Have you ever heard of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria? According to Dr. William Dodson, an ADHD expert with a private practice in Colorado, he’s created a 19th question after the DSM’s 18 question criterion:

“Question # 19: For your entire life have you always been much more sensitive than other people you know to rejection, teasing, criticism, or your own perception that you have failed or fallen short?”

HAPPY'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“If you say something to me, you better mean it … because I’m gonna take it like you meant it!”

ADHD Sensitivity

My friend, Happy Little, and I discuss the extreme sensitivity found in people with ADHD. She understands just as well as anyone can, “a life of wearing your skin inside out.”

It was during a webinar I put on when Happy heard of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and instantly said, “That’s me!”, just as 99.9% of Dr. William Dodson’s patients tell him.

So, Happy and I figure there’s definitely something going on here that people need to talk about.
