It's not that bad for speaking, but if I typed like that no-one would have a clue what I was saying!
I have a hard time understanding other people's speech sometimes, especially when they mumble, have accents, speak quickly, or have deep voices. It's worse when there is background noise confused .

I was trying at CivetMoon and thinking 'that's odd, I thought it had a space in it'. Gaia's being slightly dodgy at the moment. I just wondered what your name was.
It had no space when I signed up originally, but then I changed it because I prefer to be called just Civet. I wanted that for my SN, but it was taken.
What is your name?

Yeah, everyone in the US seems to know what ADD is, but I've never met or heard of anyone here wiht it! Most people here know what Asperger's is, but Civet Moon implyed they don't in the US.
I've met three people with ADD. One was when I was younger, a girl in my class had a sister with severe ADD. I only met her once. My friend's boyfriend has mild ADD, and another friend's younger sister has severe ADD.
And yes, everyone knows what ADD is. It seems like everyone and their kid has it nowadays rolleyes .
Not many people know about Asperger's, unless they've studied psychology. Autism is a well-known term, but people typically just think of "Rain Man," and that is the basis of their knowledge.
