I am currently writing my second book, which is about my ADHD. While your advice is solid for those who can execute this self-reflection, not everyone can. My lack of filter is not based on disrespect. It's not to be cavalier. My brain doesn't have the yield or stop sign. It's not a simple choice to decide whether to say something or not.
I hope my book sheds more light on this subject. I shudder to think of all of the disorders and disabilities that we accommodate (and should) but for some reason, ADHD is tossed aside as we should 'just fix it.' Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

I love the three questions, Amy!
I wish I had the wisdom from your posts a few years back in my corporate life. I was that person, blandly honest with no icing of diplomacy.
