The greatest thing in the world would be to just naturally be marketable without having to change anything about who you are. I held out as long as I could – beleeeeve me! But, alas, starving, homeless and to unable to make it to gigs reliably anymore, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming by a fellow musician to the restaurant job for a meal and a paycheck. No diagnosis, no disability – just insults thrown my way, self esteem crushed, and total devastation. I didn’t believe I could be rehabilitated, but somehow I managed to make it to the lowest rung and find other survivors to huddle with. I tried to make my own rules, but unfortunately the physics of concrete, rainstorms and arrest warrants had another thing coming. Without the kindness of other people who had survived before me, I wouldn’t be here, or be the success I am today. (Other undiagnosed ADD’ers who found whatever bizarre ways to cope?) I think this website is an example of social evolution – I wouldn’t have gotten help for ADD any other way… Keep evolving Filmbuff
