Ha! When my daughter and son were diagnosed, I read all about it and realized I am also AD/HD! Was actually wonderful to finally understand why I couldn't pay attention to sitting and being bored all day in school! I'm ADD, not hyper. I would daydream to escape the boredom. I'm a fast learner, intelligent and artistic. But felt like a failure in school.
While meds can help, seems like schools with more hands on or a more rapid pace would be so much better for ad/had people!
While it is t a 'disease' or disorder - it is people's brains functuning differently! Seems ADHD brains make great explorers and risk taking type jobs in life. And since society in general seems prone to sitting and repetitive jobs, is harder now.
Read lots and learn! There is some garbage as well, but also good info! Positive reinforcement helps way better with ADHD than 'punishment'.. the therapist I took my kids to for help with ADHD recommended the book 1, 2, 3 magic. Was a huge help!
