Re: International ADHD Consensus Statement

Oddly enough, i agree with all of the posts here, we are talking about different aspects,

and different experiences of something called ADHD.

Barkley and others suggest that the name needs to be changed.

WGreen is quite correct in the magic of naming .. if we know the

thing’s true name, then we know it’s nature .. or something like that.

Trashman is delightfully on the money there.

I think we are like the blind wise men trying to discover the nature

of an elephant by touching its trunk, tail and legs .. different but not wrong.

Give Barkley et al another 12 years or more and they may well have a good

name for what we have, and a better understanding of its complexity.

I think Matte has something interesting to add to the ADHD understanding.

He says stuff that sounds like Toofat talking about his sons’ ADHD and

how they came out ok.

Remember how left handed kids were treated in 1955? Not the same but..

Trashman, I try to speak to 2 strangers each week .. cashiers or waitresses or

anyone .. it helps to make connections. Don’t you have a cat?

happy weekends
