I take ADHD as a gift. we tend to be faster than the regular person , but we are able to focus, only on thing that we are interested. The type focus is called hyper focus . we could focus more than the average person.

Now, I like fishing, not a lot people like fishing, how is it that I could stand there, and wait for a fish and not be bored as hell because I like it. I don't need drugs. You just have to like what you do. when it come to careers you have to love the career.

don't listen to this shallow tripe, I can tell it is BS just from reading the description. ADHD is not a learning disorder. It is a a biological variation in the human brain. ADHD kids can learn anything that they want, but the problem is they often don't want anything that society wants, and do not fit any particular social mold.

Thumbs up if you had problems paying attention to this video lol!! This guy was killing me. I read every video title in the suggestions column to the right during the last 3/4 of the video.

Look its easy to say that you just need goal and something you enjoy to get through ADD/ADHD. But not everything in life is going to be that easy. I want nothing more than to experience collage to the fullest. But this means I need to do the classes required. And guess what. I'm not going to like every class I take. So this whole just pick something you like is crap. We all have things we don't want to do. ADD/ADHD makes it that much worse. Look at the positive side of it. And get help if needed

I was in the same boat as you. First, go make an appointment with a dean as soon as possible if it's not too late. They can bend the rules for you. Second, make sure you have some sort of medication. Not for everyday, but just for when you need to spend the day working. Third, make yourself accountable to other people by the hour. Plan out your day, and make a deal with a close friend to hold you accountable during every hour.

We aren't faster than the regular people, and the hyper focus thing is not true. Adhd is seriously impairing because it is an executive function disorder. 2/3 of us have some sort of co-morbid disorder too. If we want people to take our condition seriously, we need to stop calling it a gift. There may be some of us who are able to have successful careers and relationships, but it's never because of ADHD.

It is a known fact that everyone has an opinion and they are based on fact or fiction. That seems to be the case with negative comments regarding ADHD and ADD. It has been proven that children with it have a smaller frontal lobe, other countries do know of it but are slow to except it and it can be managed without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Notice I said managed not cured. If anything I have said was confusing start looking things up for yourself. Ignorance is the same as stupidity.

I don't want to give up but I don't have any support, my psychiatrist is a drag, I don't have a legal job (I work my ass off for $5 p/hr [IL min. wage $8.00p/hr] & my work skills isn't good enough because my Superior yells at me that I'm too slow, too fast or forgot to do something or that i can't pay attention) & I have a baby due in June 2011. my wife can't work & I can't find a Job no matter how hard I try! my ADHD is so bad that my med's aren't effective anymore! :( I really want die!

I have ADHD, and I'm not able to take medication because of epilepsy. Ok, I'm Screwed. SO! What ever . Yes, I'm weird, but who gives a fck . It's not like they are going to publish it in the news paper " Cdcg19 has ADHD" . I live life how it is, and don't care what other people say.

When choosing major , choose a major that you might love. Like graphic design or entrepreneurship. Do something were you can have as much flexibility.

@dihle12 Your ability to write coherent statements is crap. Adhd is a serious issue, I understand how one could see it as a joke. I used to say "oh everyone has ADHD nowadays it's a load of shit" but once you begin to realize you actually have it, it becomes a lot more serious. It's easy to dismiss something that you don't understand or experience for yourself.
