[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 455351, member: 6557"] I am an adult ADHD. If I only have one thing going at a time I have a tremendously difficult time staying with it. I work the best when more then one project is up. I will write the code for a program while writing the users document, while composing an unrelated e-mail, while the music is going. If you take it away from me I fall apart. Since my concentration breaks quickly it helps to have something else for it to land on. My son also plays a computer game, while watching TV. I read a book while watching TV. I would never dream of making him chose one. Although it is fair to turn the volume down if it gets distracting. Also I believe that the books "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe" is a wonderful test for ADHD. He changes subjects so rapidly it makes ones head spin. I loved it! The only book I ever read that worked like my mind does. My non ADHD friends can't get past the first paragraph. Last thought. I have a friend that gives space hardware presentations to schools. (as in orbiting satellites). He believes in giving the kids things to be productively distracted with. While he gives his presentation, he will have a video going in the back ground, and will pass out about twice as many pictures as there are kids in the room. He all so passes out hardware examples, and might have a demonstration going at the same time. He believes that if the kids have troubles paying attention to him, they should get something out of the video, or picture, or hardware. We ADHD ones get something out of all of it. [/QUOTE]
