Seems like it usually used to put males back in the box when they are designed for exactly what you describe (successful ones, anyway), being dropped into a hostile situation and coming out on top (or alive).<BR/><BR/>Different place and time, it would be a different story - but - just wondered. Lotta kids diagnosed and on meds, and you can't ask them, or they can't articulate how it makes things different or better - or not.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393866247037231950.post-89040458560341464772007-10-29T04:10:00.000-07:002007-10-29T04:10:00.000-07:00Wonderful post!Wonderful post!Rambling Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761868041273738681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393866247037231950.post-25129487441320585612007-10-28T22:33:00.000-07:002007-10-28T22:33:00.000-07:00Geez...how to respond? Hadn't even thought about i...Geez...how to respond? Hadn't even thought about it.....<BR/><BR/>I am in full blown Wizard mode right now, having taken the entire weekend as a Muggle patch Holiday.<BR/><BR/>The difference in my thought patterns was absolutely astounding the first couple weeks.<BR/><BR/>It's mellowed quite a bit from there, but I suspect that the "Newness" has worn off.<BR/><BR/>My ADD is, according to the Doc, probably trauma induced. Two pretty severe fractures causes interesting changes, I suppose.<BR/><BR/>What I do know is that my meditation helped my focus quite a bit, but then with the patch.....<BR/><BR/>Here, imagine a TV with "picture in picture". That, for argument is the "muggle" brain. Main thought is Mr. Ed in reruns, But the pop draws your attention away to the Red Sox game. You watch it a bit, and then....Right back to Wilbur.<BR/><BR/>Wizard mode, then, is having SEVEN pops, and they're all the same size, and each one is equally interesting.....it's best summed up by..."Now What was I doing?"<BR/><BR/>Hard, sometimes impossible, to get back to your main focus. A real life example.....OK, it's fairly obvious that I am a realatively Prolific, if not good, writer.<BR/><BR/>In the last twenty years, I have purchased and started close to twenty Journals. Each has precisely Two entries, and I was distracted by something else to do.<BR/><BR/>Now, I can't Stop writing. I don't let other things get me off target.<BR/>I love it, and to Finally answer your very astute question, Yup, I think it's correct.<BR/><BR/>Now don't get me wrong...ADD in many ways has been a Major boon to me. Drop me into a hostile area, and I'm the go to guy, six or seven plans and backups and adaptability up the wazoo.<BR/><BR/>Emergency situations, high stress immediate reaction problems are my bread and butter.<BR/><BR/>Relationships, though? I think that if it's accepted up front, and I continue treatment, meds or just meditation, stay away from too much alcohol.....I can be a pretty darn good life partner.<BR/><BR/>Kinda like this goofy litle "Glitchin the Matrix",(copy write pending). If you Know ahead of time that it's gonna be quirkey, it makes it more enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>"What am I in the mood for tonight?" Don't know? Bipp on over to Wollf's place.....there'll be Something you don't expect.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, when off the meds, and on Holiday, I tend to ramble, can you believe it?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Rose<BR/>Wollf<BR/><BR/>PS, I noticed the thread finally died at 72.....sheeshWollf Howlsatmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13326431237011861478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393866247037231950.post-29656191431822591492007-10-28T22:03:00.000-07:002007-10-28T22:03:00.000-07:00Do you agree with the ADD diagnosis?Do you agree with the ADD diagnosis?Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.com
