Oh and @conan, get yourself professionally tested for ADHD. Doesn’t cost much for an evaluation and it’s highly co-morbid with dyslexia. It’s something worth checking out as if you test positive there’s a lot of resources that can help, not just medication.
Though the meds can help a LOT with the hyperactive subtype.
No, but it would be great if the guy in the White House had any idea at all what the constitution and the laws of this country say HE can and cannot do. Just because he’s president doesn’t mean he can do whatever the ■■■■ he likes and if it violates the law…so what!
AHDH doesn’t mean you can’t focus. I can sit down and read a book for 12 hours at a go if I find it interesting. If anything I can hyperfocus to the detriment of everything else. If I aint interested though, forget it.
Go talk to a professional at least. Might cost you a bit of money but the payoff is worth it, if i’m right.
I think you are perhaps letting personal bias sway you against the possibility. Give it some thought, please.
This is just ■■■■■■■■■ I have dyslexia, I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, I have a Master’s degree in public and health administration, I read just fine and for the last 20 years have been the director of a program for people with Autism and manage very well a $5million plus budget each year. I once had a school psychologist tell in a conference for my daughter who has ADD, not ADHD…there’s a difference that I couldn’t be dyslexic because I can read. DYSLEXIC PEOPLE CAN READ. THEY ARE VERY INTELLIGENT…USUALLY AROUND 125 to 140 IQ, and the reason many of them go into trades is not because they can’t read…it is because we think in pictures.
It is that picture thinking that allows those in the trades to visualize and build things. It is what allows a Greg Luganus to dive the way he did. He’d visualize the mechanics of the dive and then go do the dive. Einstein was dyslexic. They appear bright, highly intelligent and articulate because they are. And we can read. I’m doing it now.
