Re: I expected better from them

LOL – well said, kc5jck.

I saw a video put up by an ordinary ADHD person who explained how that the correct meds helped (often, keep in mind, not all ADHD bodies react to meds nor all all symptoms helped in all people) and if you didn’t have ADHD, it could actually make the symptoms worse, but in any case, meds didn’t “cure” or even help at all if there was no ADHD. Like you said – you just had a lazy stupid…. etc person on speed. HA.

>>I know ADHD is a real condition. And because I know it, I can deal with it for myself, without having to convince anyone else.

I know it’s real, too – all too well…….. just ask about my youngest son, my mother, her father………. and this existed and was defined even BEFORE the big bad evil drug companies existed. (get real, even drug companies are just groups of people attmepting to make money by selling stuff – it’s a shoe salesman the same thing, only smaller? And if the stocks don’t do well – don’t the stock holders hang the board and director and get new ones who will make stock values higher? Get real – do you want your IRA, 401K, etc to do poorly and maybe make only 1% while your other investments do 5% or better – and you’ll get angry at the fellow running the company making only 1% on their stocks? OK, then – let’s get real as far as who is doing what, and WHEN this actually began.)

I also dislike the “right” or “left” – when it comes to ADHD, politics don’t matter, they can all be jerks, and they can all be helpful.

Guess what – I work in an IT department where almost ALL of the staff is what some of you would call “conservative” or on the “right”, and guess what we do – help folks with disabilities, and we bend over backwards to do so, even asking for MORE money to do it.

I”m sorry, and not meaning to “offend”, but you can really totally leave politics out of this, and I know, working for the government – for an agency where our sole purpose in life is to help folks just like me, and you, and other forums memvbers here, get training, jobs, computers, etc. – and we do it with a passion and caring…….. and our department pretty much all “leans” one direction.

This thing knows no politics.

It knows no educational levels.

They can be left, right, or dead, smart, dumb, PhD or high school drop out, and they’ll either believe you and want to help, or they’ll deny it exists regardless.

In my experience, growing up in the family I did – I personally saw no coorolation.

As far as made up by drug companies – a bit of research shown to the nay-sayers will show it was being found and diagnosed before my parents were even born and drug companies all went over to the dark side and abandonded the force.
