“Sorry, it cut out for me. Can you repeat that last part?”
I use this line in… a lot of online meetings.
I don’t even explain, I just say “sorry say that again? Oh ok”
Sometimes if you spaced out for too long, you could just say “sorry, the call was going crazy for a minute there, all I got was you saying thursday…”
So was it dissociate or disassociate??
“Can we just get a brief recap to make sure we’re all on the same page?”
“We just did a recap Brandy! Have you not been listening??”
At that point you just admit you were thinking about Batman fighting Iron Man.
so daydreaming is a coping mechanism that our brains use for boredom. boredom is something people with ADHD experience more frequently.
in other words, many daydreamers have ADHD but not all
Also, cognitive disengagement syndrome or CDS. (It is not recognized yet by the DSM, though).
Yep! CDS is at a weird place. I’ve worked with people who present that way - it’s quite different from ADHD. I think over the years we’re going to reshift some of how we look at ADHD and sister conditions.
