Interrupting in conversations is one of the most common (and misunderstood) challenges for people with ADHD when it comes to social skills and connections. It can create real friction in relationships and be interpreted as us not listening, not caring, or making things about ourselves. But that’s usually not what’s happening at all. It turns out many of us have  brain needs that can make interrupting more likely and there are ways we can meet those needs without having to mask or "check out" during conversations.
