What You Should Know:

1) Your ADHD Friends aren't ignoring you
2) Your ADHD Friends don't think you are boring; they do care about what you are saying
3) Your ADHD Friends may over commit when their energy levels are high and cancel when those energy levels get low
4) Your ADHD Friends are more susceptible to Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria than others and may overreact to perceived, real, or hypothetical rejections. 

How You Can Help Support:

1) Be gentle with your ADHD Friends
2) Send friendly reminders to your ADHD Friends
3) Ask your ADHD Friends where their brain has wandered off to during conversations
4) Give them enough details about an event to ease their hypothetical rejections or assurance that you aren't rejecting Your ADHD Friends to make sure they know you aren't rejecting them.
5) Let them know what events are important to you and don't take your ADHD Friend's energy levels personally
6) Communicate your needs in a gentle way.
