#43: Mind Reader or ADHD?
As we mentioned earlier, cutting people off and talking over others is a common ADHD trait. People’s ADHD brains move a mile a minute, so it can be hard to contain their excitement or wait their turn to say something. A lot of times, this manifests as finishing other peoples’ sentences so they can share their own thoughts.
If someone with ADHD finishes a person’s sentence, it’s most likely meant as a nice gesture. They are probably so excited to share their thoughts that they want to help the other person along. Also, a lot of people with ADHD have shared that they unintentionally cut people off because they want to share their thoughts before they forget. While finishing someone’s sentence isn’t very polite, patience and grace can help people who struggle with conversing.
