How ADHD Affects the Way I Communicate and Hold Conversations

Having conversations with ADHD can feel chaotic, fast, and unpredictable. My brain can jump between topics within seconds—unless the conversation goes deep, where hyperfocus often takes over instead.

Honestly, anything — except politics, racism, war, etc.

It actually depends on how the conversation flows between me and the other person. If it were only about me talking about something, I probably wouldn’t be able to decide what to talk about once my ADHD brain kicks in, because I can go from one subject to another within 0.2 seconds.

So me keeping track of a conversation I started would be almost impossible — unless it’s a deep conversation. Then my ADHD behaves.

But random talks? Oh wow.

I can go from SparkleFart the unicorn to FartStripes to completely made-up things.

Haha, I’ll explain SparkleFart and FartStripes.

I used to play a game called Whiteout Survival, and there was a pack you could buy that included a unicorn used when marching to attack.

She sparkled when she marched, so that’s where “Sparkle” came from — but it also looked like she was farting sparkles, so that’s how I came up with SparkleFart.

FartStripe was the name I gave a yucca palm. Don’t ask me why. I honestly have no idea.

FartStripe is FartRanden in Swedish, so FartRanden translates to FartStripe.

That’s the story behind those two names.

So yeah, having a conversation with me would never be boring for you.
