How to Deal With ADHD

We have a pattern-spotting machine neurologically, at the front of the brain is the thing that spots patterns. Because of our trust and friendship over years and years, my pattern in communication with you is one that doesn't break a pattern of fight or flight. So when we're having these conversations and you were joking me about something that I thought it was real or meant, oh my god it would be horrible. It triggers the fight-off-like response. Anger or fear or aggression and we run off.
