I am no expert but from my opinion everyone has trouble with friends from time to time and most of the time people grow apart. I understand sometimes the ADD/HD symptoms may have a part to play in friendship problems but at the end of the the day it takes 2 to tango, so if someone doesn't want to be friends with you and blames you because of "your ADHD" then they shouldn't be in your life.

I wish i had ADD/HD but unfortunately i don't, however i have an amazing who does and i tell her time and time again to ignore anyone that tells her they don't want to be friends with her because of her ADD. You wouldn't defriend someone because they have depression or anxiety so why do it to someone who has ADHD? It really grates me because it makes my friend feel inadequate or that there is something wrong with her.

Her impulsiveness can throw some people off but everyone has flaws or something they're not proud of, but we're all human. So i personally believe that it isn't fair to imply just because someone has ADD/HD that they can't make or keep friends because thats not the case. I adore my friend and its because i accept her regardless of what other people think cause she is an amazing friend and is an extrovert once you get to know her. She may appear like an introvert but thats simply because people have been soooooo rude to her in the past that she has the lost the confidence to be herself.

I hate reading forums of people who have ADHD and have no friends cause is horrible, as i always say to my friend " if they can't handle ya they can't have ya" so anytime someone clashes with her i tell her that she deserves better friends than that. If i had the abiltity i would be friends with anyone and everyone who has ADHD because i think from knowing a few people who have it, that they are the most nicest, politest, sympathetic, interesting, random, amazing, compassionate, hilarious and spontaneous people EVER.

The world would be very boring and dull without add'ers so i just want to say that ADHD doesn't make you any less of a friend & it doesn't stop you from making & keeping friends, its the people who haven't got it that have the issue.

I don't have ADD/HD but my friend does and she's an amazing friend to me
