Blogger Charles LeBlanc knows his ADHD individuals very well!!!

A few months ago while walking down Kings Street, I noticed a good friend of mine sitting in front of Reid News stand reading a book.

It was a beautiful day so I sat beside her.






After a few minutes, we were distracted by a huge voice from across the street.

It was a huge confrontation between two individuals.









You often see this kind of action in the downtown area. This is the reason I wish the cops would patrol the streets more often.

You just move on and hope that nobody gets killed.

This time around, it was different. I knew one of the individual involved in the dispute.

I will call him ADHD Junior.

He's the guy with the cup of coffee in his hand.







The guy who confronted ADHD junior was very upset!!!

Lets stop the blog for a minute. Let me tell you a little about ADHD Junior.

This individual is a nice guy and very very very hyper.

Every instance, I see the guy? He reminds me of yours truly 25 years younger.

I first met the guy a few years ago and we had many conversations of the way our brains works.< Five of them >

We soon found out that we have the same wave of thinking.

We're both very hyper and we both understand the drawback of having ADHD!

ADHD Junior doesn't take any Ritalin < Neither do I >

But he finds that smoking marijuana is very good for his ADHD!!!

Someone asked me - Do you think giving Marijuana to a person with ADHD is better than Ritalin?

My answer - Sure!!! < Not kids > Myself, I don't like the drug. I even tried Cocaine once and I loved the white stuff so much that I never tried it again.

I was very relax and my brains weren't racing all over the place.

What does Ritalin do? Once you get older, you may turned to higher drugs such as Dilaudid.

Marijuana helps a individual with ADHD to relax and I said it before? I will say it again!!! Marijuana should be given to people with ADHD as medical use.

Anyway...ADHD Junior landed a job as the Fredericton Soup KItchen. My God??? He was very hyper in such a small place. He would fly all over the place. He had a job to do and that was that!!!

GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!

George Piers told me- If we had the money? I would hire ADHD Junior full time because he does the work of two workers. < Maybe three? >







Many people in the Kitchen would complain that ADHD Junior is too dangerous to work with because he doesn't walk? HE FLIES!!!

Many would demand ADHD Junior to slow the hell down!!!

I remember one Saturday evening while volunteering at the Kitchen.

ADHD Junior was cleaning the dishes of the leftovers and I was rising them before placing them in the dishwasher.

We had another guy near-by.

He was moving very fast and I kept the pace.

Then suddenly, I said- HURRY UP!!!! While I had my hand out for the next item.

ADHD Junior gave me a very dirty stern look because nobody have ever told him to hurry up!!!

I went right to his face and said- WHAT??? YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME TELLING YOU TO HURRY UP???

He didn't know what to do or say??? lol

He met his match and he knew it.

One guy was caught in the middle. H was ordered by a Judge to preform some community hours after breaking the law quickly went to George Piers with a complaint. < One of George's favorite all time story >

He told George - Listen!!! I know I did wrong in the past. The Judge sentence me to 60 hours of Community work. I learned my lesson and I'm paying the price but PLEASE DON'T PUT ME BETWEEN THOSE TWO GUYS AGAIN!!!!

lol

I guess these days, the guy is in College. lol

I felt bad for ADHD Junior around one year ago.

He had a music recorder in his ear and really enjoyed listening to music. Someone stole it from him and he hasn't had one since.

This is the reason that I always listen to music while walking around the City. I love it!!! It calms me down!!!

Anyway!!!! Lets go back to the confrontation ADHD junior is having on the streets in Fredericton.







I quickly went for my camera. The woman sitting across from me was surprise that I was taking pictures of the confrontation.

I explained to my friend the individual on the left has ADHD. If something happens? I'll help my friend case with the pictures to the Police. He was just minding his own business and was confronted by this stranger.

I continued telling her if she noticed that the guy is very calmed while the other guy is yelling like a madman while swinging his skateboard as if he was going to hit him.

You could hear ADHD Junior saying- What are you talking about Man? What's your problem Man???

I explained to the girl that if that guy touches ADHD Junior? My god!!! It's going to be ugly because people with ADHD are full of hyper activity and if someone attacks them? LOOK OUT!!!!

Many of these people with ADHD are sent to a jail cell after they're charge or convicted of an assault charge.

Good place for them eh?

Can you imagine a person with true ADHD in a jail cell?

I went there a couple of time and it drove me nuts!!! < This is the reason that I'm still upset with the members of the Saint John Police Force >

Ok...never mind that!!!

I explained to the girl that the guy is asking questions? If he's attack? He will fight back.

The confrontation lasted a few long minutes and I'm surprise the cops weren't called because you could hear the guy blocks away.






Everyone was watching until it was over.

I told the girl - See? Now he's walking away and talking to himself because he's very upset.

Seconds later, he shouted- FUCK!!!!! and threw the cup of coffee on the street.

He was very upset.

The girl said - You predicted that one pretty good? You know him well.

lol

I told her that I knew my ADHDers very well!

I could tell that ADHD Junior was upset so I left the guy alone.

I saw him the next day and asked him about the confrontation?

In a very calm way he said - Ohhh that??? The guy came to apologize for his action. He believed that ADHD Junior stole something but after looking at a video? They had the wrong guy.

Yes.....this is just one of many stories that an ADHDer have to go through with his daily life.

It's a struggle but we move on!!!!

Tomorrow is another day!!!!

ADHD is bad enough but being half Scottish????

I wouldn't wish this gene on my worst enemy!!!

Sigh...what a life!!!
