I am happy that it has been helpful for you in some way. =] I'm sure we would all love for you to share your own experiences with Whip's ADHD. and if Whip is on the forum, for a first-hand story. =] Especially interesting, would be what you have found eye-opening, and why.

I get that all the time... and I just sit there, thinking... "What? I don't understand. I was just being straight-forward." I don't like dancing around a subject. Though I often get stuck for words, causing huge rants about meaningless subjects, I make the most to make myself as clear and to the...

Your story is relevant to someone. This is your personal space here on the site, and I hope you are not dissuaded from sharing your life with us all.

Well the site seems to have gone through a bit of a hiccup recently. Something I'd love to get on to more a bit further down. First, though... ... As most reading will know, I've been going through a whole lot of self-change for a while now. Discovering a lot of who I am, and fixing the parts I...

The things you miss out on when away for long periods... Do we really need a mod to mod the mods? =P Thankfully, actions like these are rare. But I feel when they do come about, we should all do our best to be helpful of the situation. Throwing blame is certainly not helpful [not directed at...

Love the Pooh listing. =P I don't know anything about the over-focused type, though. I know that hyperfocus is something that comes and goes in inattentive types. This is where I find my most productive time. and I wish it never ended when it happens. I get a couple of hours of work done to...

I did not know hyperactivity was not one of the most common parts about it. Though I do know that the hyperactivity is really not often to the point of bouncing off the walls. My own hyperactivity seems to only really be a cause of irritability and fidgeting. I'm definitely more on the...

midnightsun: "The studies that were done were small-scale and were done on a group of kids ages 3-8." First link: "children ages 3 and 8/9" Second link: "153 3-year-old and 144 8/9-year-old children" Third link: "children aged 4—8 years who were diagnosed with ADHD" "relapse of ADHD symptoms...

I just assumed, because most people around here seem to be over that way. =] One phrase I particularly enjoy is "Question everything." and I certainly do. I'm never content that something -is-, and have to know -why-. Also "Learn the rules, so that you can know how to break them." This one I...

I don't know about difficult to think. But certainly different. I would imagine people who were born deaf would think in terms of images. and those born blind would think in terms of sound. Those of us who have had access to both, can be all across the range of the two. and those aren't the...

I assume that perhaps you may be from the US or Canada maybe, and that they don't have the same definition of practical? Or perhaps it's just not one you've come across. But as well as the meaning of practical to mean something feasable; is useful... It also has the meaning of hands-on...

My two recent love affairs [=P] have been with Beyond Creation - The Aura, and Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony. Really indulging in the heavier side of things a fair bit lately. Since starting up my own project, I've been getting some great influences from the stuff.

Definitely interesting, thanks. I barely know Lojban myself. I only started learning it a small time ago. But it definitely seems that all things this Ithkuil language tries for, Lojban has done it. I do like the script of Ithkuil though. It looks really cool. Lojban is typically written in...

Very useful for thinking, but not practical, hands on stuff. It is the dog training itself or the science research itself that is the practical side of it. Ever heard of Lojban? It's actually one thing I'm working on at the moment in learning. Again, no practical use to it [yet], but a great...

I find your third point the most interesting myself. Studying philosophy for one. Though it may not have a lot of practical use, it's a subject I enjoy. But the most interesting part, I thought, was arguing yourself into programming. Like, how did you get into programming beforehand? and what...

Guys, please keep on topic for the thread. This is not a debate on food colouring, but on ADHD. I know it's hard for us to concentrate long enough sometimes... :p

People have blamed E numbers for hyperactivity in general for a very long time. I'm not sure on the specific studies you've seen. Perhaps there is new evidence. But from what I know, it's nonsense. Hyperactivity in general, is actually caused by the actions of those around you. ADHD in all...

I got reading some of it. Couldn't even get a third the way through. Very difficult to read, and I couldn't grasp the point being made. Perhaps you could give me a clearer image of why you chose to share it? As for the being called lazy - With my second bit of writing up there, I mention that...

I've definitely heard of exercise being a great help. But for me, it would be choosing something that could keep my attention in the first place. Something I wouldn't give up on after 10 minutes. I think if I could find something, that would be great though. Especially as I hate to medicate...

People are very wary of diagnosing them as easily these days. There are specific ages [I can't remember which] between which, you are able to get accurate answers. But both young children, and even adults, can be difficult to diagnose. Plus more than half of those who have it s children grow...
