Biggest joke is I thought I wasn& #39;t hyperactive because I wasn& #39;t running around, screaming and getting into trouble.

That& #39;s one way hyperactivity can be visible, but for me, it was the constant head scratching, tugging on my clothes, shaking my leg and switching seating position

It& #39;s also my hate for being restricted from moving, playing with my earrings or hair, the little dance steps I make waiting for the train. It& #39;s when I can& #39;t stop myself from talking or interrupting people, or the hyperspeed of my thoughts (that actually, make me move slowly)

So in a way, my hyperactivity was invisible. But looking at it now, it has always been very visible and just misinterpreted as being moody, being tomboyish or being selfish, so I spent a huge amount of energy on trying to hide and disguise it. So well that I didn& #39;t see it myself.

For the longest time I actually thought I was shy or anxious because I was scratching my head or rubbing my arm when I’m somewhere. Turns out I’m just fidgeting so I don’t involuntarily interrupt people.

I AM shy and anxious, but I misread my own body language there
