Certainly no offence, but I don't dare, its my opinion and I cannot see how anyone can say or prove it's something you suffer from I really don't. No one saying your lazy ;-) my point is this: all 'symptoms' posted on that list (or nearly all) are just indications of normal human behvaiour. If you could concentrate on something 100% 24/7, 365 then you would be a robot.......
One other thing I did note on this was the following statement.. <sic> "...This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD." Hyperactivity aside.......I say what?! This is NORMAL!!!! Have you EVER been to classroom where out of the 25-30 Children all are 100% focused? No, exactly. The way it targets children as an excuse to further and promote such nonsense is insane. I have two good friends who are doctors - one in Pediatrics and both them agree that it targeting people like this is wrong. Not all kids/adults will The first rule of Psychiatry is to mess with peoples minds.... -----Original Message----- From: Larry C. Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 January 2005 15:21 To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Adult ADD I take it you're a professional in the area who has carefully studied the literature base? Are you familiar with Frostig's research in the 70's through the most recent fMRI research (which btw shows fairly strong support to the MBD hypothesis)? Try looking at some of this research I pulled from scholar.google.com. about 49,000 separate mentions of the term ADHD. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=adhd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Search Now how many of these results can be explained by laziness. Now my rant. <rant> I have ADHD - I've lived with it all my life. I work my ass off trying to compensate for specific cognitive deficits due to it. And you dare call me lazy. You have no bloody idea what it is like. Its the narrow minded stupid reactions such as yours that caused me a lot of pain in the past as a kid. "He's lazy, he'd do quite well if he'd try harder" etc. That is pure and utter bullshit. I would suggest educating yourself instead of spouting off in ignorance. You might end up with a better idea of what its like. </rant> This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Oriel House, 26 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DL, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.
