We has a meeting last week, and two people from OWS came and told us they thought the group was good.. We never ask for personal info, so we don't know their identities.....
If anyone in down there in Zuccotti Park has ADD/ADHD, Please visit our website for our schedule of meetings..... As A POI... We are Not subsidized, so we ask for a $5.00 Contribution per person at our meetings...
Please visit our website for more info.. and... our website has NO ads.. (Google: Manhattan Adult ADD Support Group)
I have ADD
I have ADHD Its been a bitch, but am now self employed and work outdoors, is better, but still have gocus issues, but not as bad as when working in an office, that was pure punishment,
I didn't expect to get the kind of response I've gotten.. but... If anyone has any questions.. Please visit our website (No Ads, no charge to visit site) http://maaddsg.org I have tried to put info on the site that will help answer questions which some of you have posed....
Iv seen kids with ADHD. Not overly diagnosed ADHD. Those kids are in pure he'll you can see it. I think there are a lot of people who are diagnosed that don't have it. But many who do have it are not diagnosed. I seen a child tear his skin on his arm trying to sit and listen in class. I luv that kid but he was miserable. The drugs made him sad and unresponsive. I hope that there are more advances made to handle this disease. Keep fighting guys.
Trolling at it's most insidious.
are these meeting an attempt to explain OWS and camp issues
in a clear and coherent manor?

Neither of those exits, your trying to cure thoughts. Idiot. And your charging? Rediculous
There's a simple cure for 90% of ADD/ADHD: get rid of your TV!
Hello again sudoname! I fully agree TV is an evil, but you make false assumptions about the nature of ADD. We have a very good neuro-chemical understanding of it and saying fixing it in adults is simply a matter of turning of the TV and some good old discipline, is simply not true . We know it has a very strong genetic component. The good news is that we also have very effective pills to take care of the chemical component so people can fix the behavioral side.
Why does it seem like there is much more of it nowadays? Many reasons. Part of it is indeed things like tv that aid it's development in kids. Partly it's because things like juggling school and work is exactly the sort of thing people with ADD completely suck at. Part of it is that the science is fairly recent. And yes, part of it is over-diagnosing and victimization.
... I swear I'm going back to topology problems now!
