no really...I couldn't have.
This is a very good, well stated slide-show about ADD. You may have already seen it, but I hadn't and feel compelled to share it.

I love this video! It shows ADD in such a positive light.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that Bman. That really was a great slide show. I won't pee on it with my usual pessimistic negativity.

EXCEPTIONAL!! Thanks for sharing.
Each of us has an obligation to talk this one up to those who have ADD, and just as importantly to those who don't!
I don't like it.
To not be an asshat I should explain why... I'm so frustrated with trying to explain myself to people and their complete lack of seriousness to the subject. I just don't tell people anymore. My critical and cynical facaulties, which could be used for good, have instead turned inward into bitterness with the world at large. This will prevent me from succeeding...oh well.
It was pretty good; glad I forced myselft to watch it wince the beginning was way too boring and slow. The part about ideas and achievements...it hurted you know.
@ Mincan
I have only explained WTF to my closest friends (the ones who I know will understand and support me) and to the Doc and the PhD dep at my school (you know, drug tests).
I'm not thinking in telling everyone my disorder and trying to explain why I've always been the way I am, and no, your ADD is no reason for you to not succeed.
Oh no, I don't think my ADHD will prevent me from succeeding, being bitter will.

I can understand that Mincan. For me though, I am at a point in my life right now where I have no choice but to try and beat down the cynicism with anything I can get my hands on.
