Thread Name: BS: ADHD in Adults
Subject: RE: BS: ADHD in Adults
I'm away in the morning, will be back on Monday, email me at INOBU@aol.com... much more on this when I have time, remind me... most people at mudcat have ADHD. over 80% of Pratt Inst. a major NYC art school was so diagnosed. it is not a disorder, it is a genetic adaptaition to a situation where one large group of great apes needed to 1. lead hunts 2. commit war. It can be a virtue when you learn what it is and how to use it, most entrapenuers have ADHD. There is a huge instance of it in the USA, because those who were not content to die in the fields during hard times in the old world came here.
It is not disorganized thinking, it is 1. highly logical 2. strategic 3. trouble with simple sets - the ouch part.
BUT! many many many successful folks were successful BECAUSE of adhd.
Again, must run so email me next week to continue this... it is one reason I can't spell - trouble with simple sets, but is also the reason I graduated one of the top law schools in the US.
Don't worry... we are normal... it is all the rest that... never mind.

=D
