I have watched that one and the CADDAC one on YouTube. Dr. Barkley’s interpretation of ADHD resonates with my own experiences and what I have seen in others. On the other hand, some family members whom I recommended the video to found his language somewhat negative, his outlook a bit bleak, and went balistic about his use of the word “retarded,” even though it was used in its proper medical context. Granted, they were in the “ADHD is a gift” and “ADHD people are more creative” camp. I should note that neither of the people I asked to learn about Barkley’s perspective have ADHD.
