Hi,
When I was diagnosed with BPD, I watched a video called "Dark Glasses and Kaleidoscopes". I bought the video and it helped people in my family understand BPD.
Is there a DVD/Video out there that explains ADHD in both Adults and Children that is similar to this?
Hubby is a "visual". He's not much of a reader and he's got a wife and a child with ADHD. "He ain't gettin it, buyin it or diggin it."
Anything out there?

'BPD' as in Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder ?

I don't know about any entertainments movies, but there are definately educational videos out there about ADHD some of which include acted out scenarios of families. Barkley, Goldstein, Phelan and others have videos you can order through www.addwarehouse.com (http://www.addwarehouse.com). One title from my catalog is "ADHD: What Do We Know?" by Barkley-- it is $45 for ADHD folks or parents of ADDers. There are lots of others too.

Whoops,

We posted at the same time -- did you see my post above yours?

theres a warehouse :eek: isn't berkely the guy that made sockets for unix?

....u got me puzzled now, brb gonna check on it....although might concider getting a book on add/adhd

just checked:

Berkeley sockets (also known as the BSD socket API)

what did u call the guy?

Barkleyaaaaaaaaah, nevermind then, i still stand my the idea that i should by an add/adhd book though, may 'enlighten' as it were

Doing your homework? :D

Doing your homework? :Ddefine doing....

oh what that berkeley thing? it's in the beginning of one of the programming books i have, i have yet to get past 50 pages cause i forget and go over it agian and agian and again adn again so i know all the intro stuff about sockets quite well lol.

define doing....


Well....
doing ::= "supposed to be doing..."

At least here, anyway. :)

Just curious.

Just curious.i'm curious about the ::'s......where have i...!!! i remembery, it's C++ :: it's used in header files or .h as were if u wanna go into definitions....speaking of definitions ::'s are used in C++ when a class wants to inherit properties...traits if u will of another class.

and u be correctamondo, i should really be doing some programming work and i kinda am, it depends on ur definition and how much leway there is in it :P

i mean i'm glancing at an example of 'how to make a server application in c using windows sockets' every now and again.

....me needs to play some music to calm me down a lil, i'm in quite an odd mood at the moment lol

And here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus-Naur_form) as well...

oh, didn't know that, so what it's a lil like pesudo code?

ooooooooooh, it's just for note taking?

i was thinking that it was something like operators lol

like

if ( varible = 4 || 3 )
{
do this();
}

u know that kinda thing

|| = or
&& = and
!= = not
== = equal to

that kinda thing

It's a syntax for defining a syntax, hence a metasyntax. To give a realistic example:

Let's say I wanted to formally define what an integer literal looks like in C++. Integer literals are like 0, 1, 255, 0x32, 032, etc, but I need to specify the pattern so that I can implement a pa rser (this is not meant to be an exaustive example, as I omit octal and type specifiers here)

I could say that a DIGIT is defined by:

DIGIT ::= ('0' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '5' | '6' | '7' | '8' | '9')

And a hexadecimal digit are those characters, plus a-f, A-F
HEXDIGIT ::= (DIGIT | 'A' | 'B' | 'C' | 'D' | 'E' | 'F' | 'a' | 'b' | 'c' | 'd' | 'e' | 'f')

A series of decimal digits and hex digits could be defined by:
DIGITSERIES ::= (DIGIT | DIGIT DIGITSERIES)
HEXDIGITSERIES ::= (HEXDIGIT | HEXDIGIT HEXDIGITSERIES)
(* Notice the recursion above *)

So, if I wanted to define an INTLITERAL:
INTLITERAL ::= (DIGITSERIES | '0' 'x' HEXDIGITSERIES)

( "|" means or, like in c++ )
And so on, defining other rules for strings, identifiers, expressions, etc. It's important to see the hierarchy here. This is something is taught in a compiler construction course in a computer science cirriculum because it defines the grammar rules of a language to be implemented.

oh right, i getcha now

glad someone does! ;) Boy did you guys get technical!!! :eek:

I guess we derailed this thread a bit.... please, proceed with the topic. :)

yeah, just a tad think i should look at the startin post again, i've forgottern what it was about

I guess we derailed this thread a bit.... please, proceed with the topic. :)Just a bit! ;) And you're a moderator too! You should be ashamed! ;) :eek: :p

Sorry I can't help with a movie, I don't know of any...

Missythats the original post, sry for the derailin, totally my fault, i apollogise.

Just a bit! ;) And you're a moderator too! You should be ashamed! ;) :eek: :p

:: Pouts in the corner.... ::

Will I ever be forgiven? :( Will I be spared?

HF,

I've been *looking* all over for you !!

I was just about to PM Stabile, and ask his help with sending a search unit, to help find you !!! I just missed your posts on here !!!

Hope you had fun where ever you were !!!

Well, I hope my stay on Europa is no more (* It's cold here anyway *).... being an illusion in which my mind has been operating upon lately... (* Or is Earth really the illusion? *) I've been here (I'd say physically but that's not really true, now is it?) electronically, but not mentally. I realize that I've been very underactive here lately -- something that I hope to change. Just hangin' out on planet H.F.....

I don't think a search team could figure out where I am at anyway...

Missy -

PBS has an excellent documentary on ADHD, called "Misunderstood Minds"
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/misunderstoodminds/intro.html

It's not a movie, but there is an exercise to get an idea of what it's like to be ADHD
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/misunderstoodminds/attention.html

when at the link, go to the "Experience Firsthand" activities (visual, auditory and attention)

OH!! I forgot about that!! My teacher helped create that! It is wonderful!!!
