I have a strong memory from before I realized I was ADHD of hanging out with very good friends. I simply could not get a word in when I had something to say (I'm quieter than most so even my attempts to interrupt would fail) and when the time did come that there was room for me to speak I'd completely lose whatever it was I had to say. It was an incredibly frustrating experience that, thankfully I don't experience often and I've learned some strategies for these situations at work. (Writing things down for later as they come to mind, specific sorts of body language to indicate levels of importance of what I'd like to say, posting in a side channel like a comment on a shared doc or in a shared chatroom, etc)
