All type A positive in my family and more than 5 individuals with ADHD.

You might be interested in this archived thread http://www.addforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-91251.html concerning Barkely’s dismissal of Thom Hartmann’s evolutionary theory of ADHD. I am not a Hartmann supporter as he grossly generalizes ADHD traits and tries to pair them up with what he thinks would make for a good hunter, when many of the same traits would be a detriment to hunting. It is a nice metaphor, but only that. He is trying to put a positive spin on a set of behaviours. The fact that ADHD is a spectrum disorder also suggests that it is not just one gene at work and that it does not represent a single type of human, who is different than others.

I have yet to see any double blind scientific support for the blood-type diet. It strikes me as similar to astrology, we see what we want to see in it.
