Re: Rick & Dr. J's Feb 27th Workshop

Hi All,

First of all, I think the video may be confusing people. I wasn’t speaking as me, Rick. I was kind of playing a character–the ADHD everyman. I have some of those symptoms, but certainly not all of them. For one thing, I’m only on my second marriage. (And trust me, this is it) And gambling in casinos and poker, never really thrilled me. I have the worst poker face and I forget what beats what.

So I was trying to show the spectrum of symptoms, impairments and behaviours that Adults who have Undiagnosed and Untreated ADHD can experience. On the other hand, yes, a lot of it is stuff I know first hand.

That said, thanks for the kudos about the courage it took to make the videos. It was actually not that hard. Once I got present to the costs of not speaking up it was kind of easy. I’ll write a Blog about it.

Looking forward to seeing people! Yes, the listing has disappeared from the Events section of the website a number of times. We call the service provider and they put it back up. And the whole site has gone down a couple of times this year. Frustrating. People who know about this stuff are working on it. I’m not one of them. Thank God!
