Remember how we all laughed a couple weeks ago when two major networks, eager to report the Supreme Court's decision regarding health care reform, got it completely wrong? We could just imagine some eager beaver sitting at the 'puter impulsively hitting the wrong button.

Anyone might use this tip successfully, but I'm sharing it here with particular thought of those who work with ADD Adults. Ettus' book includes wisdom from lost-objects expert Michael Solomon, who suggests that lost items are usually somewhere in the vicinity of where they should be (and not hanging in a tree as in the photo above). |

A reader of a recent blog postat PsychologyToday offers this comment about formal ADHD diagnosis:
The ability to pay attention is a sliding scale and not binary. Unlike pregnancy, you can be more-or-less ADHD depending on how you live your life.For example, someone who might have a little difficulty focusing can decrease their ADHD potential by meditating.
This is such a good point! Because the DSM is a medical-model approach to mental health and developmental disorders it makes use of an "either/or" (binary) approach to diagnosis. |
