@admin can we remove Barkleys email address? He’s gonna get spammed.

On the point, science is the belief in ignorance of experts. We don’t learn new things by taking received wisdom for gospel. The fact that there is no peer reviewed scientific study that analyzes the benefits of ADD literally proves nothing. There is also no scientific study that proves add has no benefit. We could talk all day about what scientists haven’t studied and it would get us nowhere. It’s no surprise that scientists have studied the harm first. You put out the fire before you mow the lawn.

Arg1, the difference between hearing loss and the traits we’re talking about us that normal people also suffer from hearing loss in the same way.

A lack of dopamine means you can remain more calm in a crisis, when everyone else is losing it.

Hyperactivity can mean high energy that can be focused.

No inhibition means your thoughts are not restricted to the norm.

If everyone could do these things, we would be no different. If everyone thought outside the box, there would be no box.
