Working with ADHD?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday June 17, 2003 @02:59PM from the keeping-focus-on-the-career dept.

Famanoran asks: "I've recently been diagnosed ADHD^? and am now taking Ritalin. I've found that it helps me rather significantly, but I'm keen to try other things that may help. My question is to the ADHD'ers on slashdot: How have you coped with ADHD, and how have you found it affect your work performance? Do you object to having ADHD? Have you tried natural alternatives such as DPA/EPA (Omega3), 5-HTP (natural precursor to serotonin), and what were your results? Also - How do you find it working in groups of people, either as the only ADHD'er there, or in a group of ADHD'ers? Do you think that your ADHD contributes to your abilities technically, or is it a hinderance?" Previously, Ask Slashdot dealt with ADHD in children, now what suggestion do you have for the grown-ups, with the additional burden of a career, who find themselves in the same situation?

Who modded this as "offtopic"? Did that moderator even bother to find out what ADHD even means? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Hellooooo?

By this I take it if I beat the fucking shit out of you, you'll read and contemplate before opening your ignorant hole.

BTW, ADDers excel at high-intensity activities like martial arts. Let me know when you want me to beat you to a pulp and grant you humility ;-)
