Hahahahahah yup we can write reams and reams at times....but ask us to read anything more than 2 lines.....oh forget it! lol

Lol yes, they do that on purpose so they can say whatever they want about ADHD...they know that none of us will ever read it!

LOL You bettcha!

Oh come on! It's really two pages!

And 21 pages of people that agree with the statement.

If you could just concentrate, sit still, and do your reading, you'd be fine.

Or maybe what you really need is a little discipline from your parents.

Just a bunch lazy and unruly people, I deeeee-clare.

*:D*

FWIW, I didn't read it either, but I have a tendancy to scroll though .pdf prior to actually tackling them...

Maybe in the hopes of pictures & diagrams.

Dang, Grafter, you beat me to it. It's a good short read. Thanks for posting the link.

See- I'm NOT lazy!:)

Actually,.. i cheated... I didint read it,.. but I heard it...

One thing I like about this document is that it has a wealth of references to read more about the scientific bases of the disorder. thanks a lot, tsurg1dj for posting it.

Peace.

That's not cheating, that's thinking outside the box....and smart.

Especially if you process information better aurally.

I seem to , yes... the sound adds ... a visualazation, which in turn adds colors for me...

As the tone changes, so do the colors....so it doesnt seem so black and white.

I process almost anything better orally...:D
Oh...
AUrally! Oops, not me then - my bad!:rolleyes:
