Alright, I just thought of a question to post - do you think AD/HD is harder on women or on men?
I was thinking that there are so many factors involved;
How is a man perceived when he does something ADDish (can't find the right words, forgetful, can't focus, ect) around peers and around women?
How is a woman perceived when she does the same thing around peers or men?
How about relationships? Do you think an AD/HD man has a harder time in a relationship than an AD/HD woman? Assuming their partners aren't ADD also.
Do women get away with more foibles than men because they're the fairer sex? Or in today's modern times do women have to act MORE together just to stay on top of the game career wise and judging wise?
Do men get away with more foibles because ...blah blah blah, haven't slept all night again so I'll stop here, you get the point. :D
