Saving this to show to my girlfriend later. I've been pretty sure she was ADHD since I first met her, and that has only been reinforced as I've gotten to know her. She often has to cancel dates at the last second because of some forgotten obligation or because she has to work late in order to meet a deadline. She's also told me that she has trouble applying herself if she doesn't have the pressure of a looming deadline. But she's also intensely curious about everything and loves falling down strange rabbit holes of information.
