What system do you think people with ADHD use to accept or judge each other?
Do you think the priviledged people with ADHD have a group? Do you think the level of hyperactivity puts some people in a shunned category? Do you think there is a pure group that makes an effort to listen and always be kind to stop the cycle of acceptance vs. nonacceptance in the social lives of other ADHD'rs?
How does that make us in relation to non AHDH peoples treatment of ADHD people?

X-Man :rolleyes:

I think I am confussed at your question. Can u explain

I'm confused too.

What do you mean by 'priviledged people' and 'pure group' ?

X-man- Does this analogy explain what you mean>

Are there classes among people w/ADD? The upstairs/downstairs thing, or lower, middle, and high income groups?

I sure hope not. Have you observed anything like this?

RADD

Do define this a bit better X-Man. I am just a simple Changeling and must revert to my normal state while you solids carry on typing...now where did I leave that bucket?

Night to all,

Crazy :faint:

I think I get an idea of what you mean?? I think people with ADHD are a LOT less judgemental to everyone...but..sheez...that could just be me..

I Dont think that "gifted" adhd people are in special groups but they are accepted more by the general public (and by pure people u meant nice people). And being gifted doesnt mean anything when you still may not feel accepted to most people without disorders.

Hyperactivity may categorize people but so does just your thinking process linked to your social skills (which add can have an impact on). Like RADD said u meant social heirarchy... you have to learn to abolish those questions... because after certain years of experience living life youll learn that there is alot more things to worry about.

"pure" groups are just nice people that dont care about the social class thingy... they are probably least likely to have any mental issues concerning feelings toward social standards and whatnot. Like i said the ability to care about superficial things diminish with age... Young people are all caught up in it...so when someone seems weird to others its because they themself are against what many unwise people think is so right and normal...Being rich and extremely social is just a plus in what i like to call our "pysical world". Its good to be socially accepted but not everyone is just that... most people have to work at it and people with add alot more.




Well i misread your post i believe...but yea thats how people with adhd see the world and the world sees them as...basically bleh

If I understood the question, yes, I think out in the regular world, there are "classes" of normalness (but then, who wants to be normal?). But, in the ADD society, for example, here on the forum, I think we are all individuals, I don't really think there is a hierarchy. I think sometimes it's easy for us to misinterpret how others view us and, due to that, we should try to remind ourselves of that when we get touchy.
Did what I just wrote make any sense? :soapbox:

YIKES....
BIKES....
and YOWSERS

think the priviledged people with ADHD have a group

Do you think the poster could have meant high functioning ADDers

Do you think there is a pure group

with out co-morbid conditions . . .

just a non-bias possibility of the initial post!

BTW - we are the "priviledged people with ADHD" we seem to have a group going. :D

I carry no preconceived notions of people when I meant them I have no expectations of pre-set behavior or mannerisms. . . I rather take people as they come. . . .is there another way?

I respond according to how I am treated, but I do not have an "auto people box" if that is what you mean.

These questions create a model for how ADHD’ers interact as a group. There is a psychological question of whether environment or genetics play a bigger role in the behavior of people in society. What about environment added to genetics? People with ADHD have been treated like they are only out to draw attention to themselves. They get titles like “Know It All”, “Show Off”, “Big Mouth” and many other painful adjectives. The truth is that they have an enormous amount of information that is and has been bursting to get out, and when the opportunity arises the flood begins. Do we have subgroups within the ADHD group? Are there degrees of the “H” factor that are tolerated in different ways by some of the subgroups? How many levels of learning are there in the processing of information related to invention and genius. When is the actualization of the special abilities and practical application finally combined to introduce solutions to events in our world? Evolution is the changing that occurs due to environmental influences. So to evolve to the highest level as a person in a group with other ADHD’ers would be to accept other people with ADHD unconditionally, and lead them in their journey using experience and the caring that is prevalent in our nature.

It would be interesting to start think tanks on certain problems that we could try to come up with solution to. The ability to see situation as a whole gives us a unique perspective to analyze events in our world. Small suggestions are accepted sometimes that can make a big difference in certain situations. One example is a suggestion to FEMA, the white house, in an email where I suggested assistance for volunteer fire departments. The president came on television the next day and stated he and FEMA would be giving these funds to these fire departments. No big deal for me as far as the suggestion. It was more important to me to see the people be helped in their generous efforts.

Hi Guys,



Time for some black eye remover.The volunteer fire departments in the fire areas are having a hard time keeping their heads above water. Be the hero, pump them up with funds and windy guarantors of help. Little money, large kudos. Looking good at a grass fire, pretty cheap advertisement.

Oh, bye the way, fire the dumb *** that is figuring things out for you.



Wake up,

How do you see our ADHD society?



X-Man :confused:

I just thought how I worded the email part in the above thread. The email is the one I sent. Don't resend the email. It is just a picture of the one I sent. The FEMA address is there if you wanted to sen some of your own thought though.

So to evolve to the highest level as a person in a group with other ADHD’ers would be to accept other people with ADHD unconditionally, and lead them in their journey using experience and the caring that is prevalent in our nature.Um, certainly!? Do you think we miss that mark somehow at ADDF?

Crazy

I thing all of you are wonderful. I just wanted to figure something out that someone might reply to. To bad we can't all get together so we could pick at each other in person. Can you imagine what this group would be like after a few kegs of beer and some good barbeque.

X-Man

As long as I get to skip the beer and get to hippy-dance to some fabulous music, sounds like a fab idea to me X-Man.

Crazy

I thought that was the only kind of dance there was. I don't drink right now either. It's too fattening and makes travel impossible.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could have group video conferences with hippie music and dancing from around the world?

X-Man

Good luck to ya'll in getting members together !

It's great in theory, but it's similar to herding cats, LMAO !!

You sound like some one from Texas beer and berbeque, like chicken fried steak man . . .there are some who do not know what that is btw.

I don't know about one big huge get together some of those who live up north already do know eachother in person they are closer together up there as compared to us here in the south. Most from Texas on here seem to be from Houston. . .they do have those meet ups in larger cities which is good for those who do not work evenings.

Oh you are in luck just answered this ten minutes ago in another thread = good not much more typing needed to answer this question.
