  1. But if you have ADHD, like many geeks, then.... by axiom02139 · · Score: 1 · on Navigating a Geek Marriage?

    Having been a SlashDot addict for many years, I expect that many of us here have various forms of ADHD or ADD. You may find that ADHD has interesting impacts on the dynamics of a marriage, most of which are not good. One of the prime challenges arises when the ADHD partner "hyperfocuses" on the non-ADHD spouse during courtship. This is similar to the "hyperfocus" we all have for the "new" game we just bought. In ADHD relationships, that "hyperfocus" usually disappears, right at the start of the actual marriage. The non-ADHD spouse then feels abandoned and betrayed, while the ADHD spouse remains clueless to the challenges faced by his/her partner, and the communications breakdown is exacerbated by some of the other ADHD symptoms. If you want examples of some of the horror stories (and the surprising similarities in many of these challenging relationships), and some great tips for avoiding or recovering from a disastrous relationship, go see the forum section of the adhdmarriage.com http://www.adhdmarriage.com/ website. This affect is so significant and real, that it made it to the Dr. Phil show not too long ago http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/1292/?preview=&versionID=).

    My own TV time has certainly dropped. These days, I'm more likely to be online instead of plopped in front of the TV.

    That is why Dr Phil has episodes like "digital mistakes".

    I'm sure oprah, the soaps, etc, will all mobilize against the horrors of online socializing. It takes time away from watching their shows. Even worse, young people use those services and we have to sit thru the agonizingly overdone expose that anything young people do, is the devil, because they do it.

    Expect to hear a lot more about "craiglist killer" etc from the mainstream media, at least until the MSM collapses and goes away.

    Sure, that is a possibility - but is it common? A young student can falsly accuse her principal of molesting her. The end result is that he loses his job and becomes unhirable after his photo appears in the paper with no significant punishment to the student.

    This type of thing was on Dr. Phil a few times:
    http://drphil.com/shows/show/596/ - "You Ruined My Reputation!"
    http://drphil.com/shows/show/40 - Wrongly Accused
    http://drphil.com/shows/show/612/ - Falsely Accused

    If you want to see a movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377092/

    Even if these situations don't involve flyers, they have the same effect. If you remove one medium (e.g. the Internet), another takes it's place (e.g. Gossip, Poison pen letters, flyers, newspapers, etc.)
