[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 564768, member: 11791"] Malika, some days I'd love to cross the pond and shake some sense into you. ADHD is [I]not an albatross[/I]. It is, in fact, a unique niche that (depending on your point of view) was designed or happened, to fill some very unique human needs. ADHD people are adventurers, scientists, discoverers, artists, musicians, composers, dancers... So many of the most valuable contributions to the furtherment of mankind have come from ADHD people. The [I]only[/I] problems with ADHD are: 1) It doesn't "fit" well with modern society, and 2) somehow, you have to learn some extra survival skills so you can make it past age 25. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... now THAT's more challenging, as is Aspie, or any of the MI dxes, or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), or a raft of other "serious" dxes. I wear my ADHD "label" with pride. [/QUOTE]
