@McGentrix,
Quote: You've repeated the ADHD thing enough that I don't think you know much about it
Well, that fills me with all sorts of evening sadness. (Lets make believe I have enough knowledge to have an opinion). Remember, I was a teacher of college kids and there were many many of that spectra who were Mostly smart to very smart kids whose wiring was a bit fucked up. I spent many hours getting help for my charges and, my biggest challenge was to convince parents ( many sounding like you) who didnt trust a layman's view of a handleable challenge to their kids "mental state". Most of them began by feeling that ADHD had a negative prognosis and was for other kids.. Most parent early on, did not want to recognize the problem.
Trump's on the spectrum. Ill bet he has an IQ of at least 125 yet would bail out of truly difficult problems and is impetuou and unable to focus, hes quick to anger, and must work hard on acquiring certain emotional traits (I think his own emotional shortcoming is a profound lack of a sense of humor)
I can see if I cant get some of my old U shrinks who,while at the U med school, would spend their own research time in personality--learning disabilities.Ill ask whether my lay assessment isnt on the money.
My experience is based Almost 20 years of at least 2 students pr year who were full on ADHD nd ADD spectra.The U made a project out of keeping kids that they amitted who qre clearly on the curve
Is that some kind of new age hippy thing? Or is it that thing where the US pays for everything while the rest of the world complains about it?
