Some times for no apparent reason I will start giggling. I've always wondered do other A.D{H}.D.ers do this or is it just some other quirk in my personality that causes me to giggle sometimes at the most inappropriate times?! :o When I was a kid and did it it was easy for others to dismiss it as childish silliness but I am now an adult and I still have a lot of trouble controlling it sometimes :eek: Is this a little noted symptom of A.D{H}.D or does it have to do with Sensory Integration Disorder? Or both? :eyebrow:

And this is off-topic: I was reading Acronyms and realized that the word "Odd" can also be used to mean Oppositional Defiance Disorder. The 'O-d-d that is in my user name means eccentric, weird...well, Odd-Scrooball!

That's me, Odd-Scrooball :) :cool: [SIZE=3][COLOR=DarkOrchid] :D ;)

as far as I know giggles have nothing to do with SID.

Maybe you just like to giggle ?

ME :D

[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=DarkRed] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4][COLOR=DarkRed] Yeah, giggling is something I do frequently, but at the wrong moment it can be :o and irritating to those within hearing distance. :ee

My SID is nothing to giggle about :( honestly. I do giggle randomly and sometimes it escalates into full-blown laughing attacks, then I don't even remember what was so funny in the first place. I blame that bit on the ADHD ;)

I do this !! Weird I never thought about why.

I sometimes will be shopping or driving and remember something stupid I did or something I found was funny earlier and start giggling.

I always laugh at random sounds I think it must be adhd related becauses ADDers are very playful people

I burst into fits of giggles for no reason at times but I don't feel it has really anything to do with SID

I do this all the time...especially during quiet times or when I/m supposed to be serious! I don't have SID though..:)

Impulsivity and giggling go together.

I giggle at weird stuff. I think nervousness triggers it. If I am in a big crowd my thoughts tend to wander, and then I just think of something weird and start chuckling to myself. I think 'normal' people do this too though.

I giggle when I am really stressed.

Yea
often.
though i dont agree with the term "giggle"
"chuckling" I can deal with.

Yes,
I have done this my whole life and it can be embarassing especially when you are in meetings. I will think of something funny that I have done or I will think of a prank I would like to do on one of my co-workers. When I am on meds., it kind of takes the giggles out of me.

oh only all the time :)

Sometimes I start to giggle if I'm daydreaming about something funny and people wonder why I'm laughing.

When I was in grade school I would laugh out of control. the more I tried to control it the worse it got. Kinda laughing about not bieng able to stop .

I used to laugh when I was nervous or something was very uncomfortable.

The first time I tried sitting in a zendo with a few other people It hit me in a big way and had to leave the room .

Now I laugh at the double meaning of words that come to me . For instance. One Sunday while In church I was singing "angels prostate falls" which had me laughing very hard and my "then" boy friend soon followed. :o

Sometimes I laugh so hard I feel drugged . It's a wonderful feeling actually.

Infinity.:D

Oh boy! I giggle and smile when responding to emails at work when I think I'm being clever or witty. It's so nice when someone walks in and sees me smiling and giggling while typing an email. I also think of things and laugh out loud from my office, the girls in the other offices are always saying "what are you doing back there"? Embarassing! I've just learned to say "I crack myself up" and leave it at that.

My son and I will find something funny in a movie or on tv or something someone says and then blow it completely out of porportion and laugh for minutes straight! No one around ever gets out humor but we don't care. It provides us with plenty of fun inside jokes for later, kind of our own language.

I'm kind of quiet but it happens sometimes!
I also have this same humor relationship with my son; it started when he was pretty little. We were on the bus and this littler kid wanted to say "I don't know, the cat's got my tongue" but instead, he said, I don't know, I have a cat's tongue." (je donne ma langue au chat / j'ai une langue de chat) .we still watch bad movies very poorly dubbed into french and crack up over the stupid dialogues.

lol yes! I'll look like such a dork... sometimes in class i think of something funny that happened like, a year ago and start balling out in laughter while everyone is reading or there''s dead air. the teacher is like "Katie, do mind telling me what is so funny?" and I laughed harder.

Yep, another giggler here.
Sometimes when I was young, I could get my sister going also and we'd drive our mother crazy at the dinner table. She'd make us take our dinner to the kitchen, so they could eat in peace. We usually weren't giggling at anything in particular.

But I do this still and if I do it around people, they aren't usually sure what I'm laughing at.
It's worse if I do it when something not so great/nice has happened or has been said.
I come off looking like an insincere person.
