    Sorry, Vegan is TERRIBLE for ADHD. Lectins, phytates oxalates etc are TERRIBLE for us. I did the experiments, raised vegetarian. The opposite is true, butter, meat, high qality fermented dairy (if tolerated) animal fats, cheese, organ meats. I DID THE EXPERIMENTS AND CHANGED MY LIFE. yes I am literally type-shouting. Our btsins need cholesterol. Please limit Veg and Fruit and increase butter, animal fats and meats. Try it for 6 months and watch your childs life change. I didn't discover this until my mid 40s. A big Eff U to the plant based lie I was tortured with since conception. I couldn't think at all as a vegan/vegetarian. I couldn't remember anything long term or short term. And my body was in excrutiating pain because I apso have EDS. I am so tired of bad dietary advice ruining lives. Otherwise, this interview and information was fantastic. But NEVER EVER make a child go vegan. It is abuse.

    The kid who is struggling to hand in essays and assignments needs SUPPORT. I had incredible teachers who helped me learn how to finish things. It helped I was studying what I loved (art/graphics). Rewards are the best for me, I refuse to be paid in full for creative consignments, because I need a reward at the end. A dopamine hit. If the reward for even trying to start is punishment if we don't get it right by neurotypical standards, then we WONT DO IT AT ALL. Diagnosed 3 weeks ago at 51. Oh the stories I could tell.

    Brilliant. Thanks for creating and sharing your wisdom. Searched all my life what it was in me why some things were hard or impossible for me to do, despite being reassured of intelligence in school and at uni. I became a clinical psychologist but not much was taught about ADHD, and as a sufferer ‘you can’t read the label from within the jar’ - and it took another 20 years to follow the right track and finally got the diagnosis confirmed. Do you want to know how I found the track? I rented a room in an ADHD clinic. How coincidental was that? I tick all the boxes! Finally everything I had experienced in my life before now makes sense.

    For years, I've tossed a lot up to me just being naturally lazy and a procrastinator. My husband would always say I'm just lazy whenever I'd tell him I think I have ADHD. It wasn't until I was on an OTC cold and allergy med that I realized something neurologically (outside of my epilepsy) was definitely going on that made me seem lazy and made me procrastinate because that particular med had me staying productive. I was able to get everything at work caught up within a week (about 7 months' worth of work). I knew my dad was diagnosed with ADHD, and I finally decided to see my doctor about whether I had it or not even if my husband didn't agree with me. Sure enough, she determined I have ADHD. Ever since I've been on my medication, I can tell a difference with how I am at work...how focused I am without hyperfocusing or being easily distracted, how I can prioritize without getting myself overwhelmed or doing multiple things without finishing one, how I don't get tired nearly as much as I used to, etc. I can tell my brain is still running a lot, but overall, I've definitely noticed a difference.

      I hear you. I was diagnosed 8 months ago at 60. I didnt realise there was a grieving period. For a guy my age its difficult to just burst into tears in the evening when the meds wear off. Yes things could have been much better, but i can have a better future now i know what to manage. Yes it will always be a challenge, but according to Dr Halliwell i can capitilise on it. Which is what im counting.

    The problem here in the UK is children with a diagnosis only a minority who have structure of parental and teachers mentoring, but at school leaving age this abruptly stops. So all the hard work both the child has achieved maybe still lower than their peers due to the stigma alot of teachers unfortunately label children "naughty or disruptive and excluded" LOST AND IN TURN, as they become young adults especially here in the UK, they are lost in the system and I have been a parent of a child with ADHD for 28 years now. That's how old my son is now, and I am now trying to get him the support and help he needs, including his medication (restart -prescription) and not prescribed with an anti depression medication.... I have studied, researched and kept my own files from various "TRUE" sources. This channel being 1 of reliable means of information and I have found myself quoting from my sources, to provide the relevant information, which the UK will not tell you, if you don't ask... They would rather you didn't ask! I feel I must prove my knowledge.

He says they are safer than Aspirin. What a complete and load of utter bullshit. Hallowell says 15% of the US have ADHD. It is 5% according to the DSM. He diagnoses in six questions live on TV. He said he diagnosed and drugged an 86 year old. He tested a boy with an IQ of 69 and after two months on Ritalin his IQ was 140. He claims Edison, Edgar Allan Poe and Einstein had ADHD.

We had done balance exercises with him for a couple of years and he has been clonidine since second grade. We never increased his dosage and more recently we have been struggling with him immensely (seriously!!!). I wish I would have tried the Concerta sooner.

I was first diagnosed at the University of Miami in 1994 at the age of 44. Dexedrine spansule capsules and Wellbutrin were prescribed. It was amazing for me. It was as if I was in a dark room and someone turned on the lights enabling me to see and be aware of everything in the room around me !! The University tested me for several sessions and told me that I had an IQ of 132 and that I was in the 98th percentile and a very creative thinker. I was astounded by the experience and the information that I found out about myself. Previously, I was always told there was something wrong with me especially by my family. I had terrible reading problems dyslexia, spelling... and I had a small library of very interesting books that I read a few pages out of each. I used to be very introverted and sickly when I was a child... allergies to everything, asthma and almost died at 2 years old in the hospital. My over-aggressive father took out an insurance policy on my life of $2,000 for my funeral then. He kept paying on it and when I was 67 a man knocked on my door who told me "we've been looking for you for a couple years now".... and gave me a $2,000 check and told me what it was for. My mom knew about my ADHD when I was in high school because the woman who worked for her in our family Delicatessen had a husband and two sons who all had it. She gave me two Ritalin Tablets and told me to take them that weekend when I studied to be able to answer the questions at the end of my 10 chemistry chapters...and "no matter what never tell my mom that she gave them to me or she would get fired"!! I would have failed and got left back if I couldn't do it. So I did what she said, I took one one day and took one the next day and I answered all the questions. To my amazement they were right in the book and I could find them. I've had an interesting life but I never got married. I really miss the company of a good woman in my life and I love children. At 18 years old I remember the day that I thought that I should never have kids because if I did I might turn into the monster that my father was. One of my girlfriends had two children and we were together for several years ....some of the happiest years of my life 💗!! Today, people would say that I'm fairly gregarious. I live in a senior building and I'd like to have a girlfriend who would enjoy sharing this beautiful world together. I still enjoy sex and I love massage and I'm a really good intuitive massage therapist. I hope I can find someone congenial.💞

    This Ferrari brain better be real because you are not helped much if ur only problem is your brain is too great 😐🤦‍♂️ and there are also different severti levels so maybe some just have mild adhd and think the symptoms are because they are too smart when they could be happyer/better without that problem. To say evolution is perfect and it cant be that some systems get caught up and malfunction would seem to be on shaky ground to me. I mean we do t do research on how good people are thats useless in the context of mental helath and illnesses. But yes i understand what mr hallowwell might mean. In terms of human beings being algorithms adhd might be a kind that is better in some circumstances but having consumed adhd stuff for years i dont believe so at all. Seems to be more in line with the people dont wanting to get bothered but using indirect means to archive that goal. Downplaying. “There are no gay people, they are devilish, decadent or can be treated by conversiontherapy” to name an example of extreme form of downplaying. Milder would be “it only came up in our society” and ignoring points like: well we havent looked/documented or shunned before and now police protects you if you say ur gay. Or society (countys) are richer so they become more inclusive and caring. But in medival times when everything is shit you will be a lot less concerned about philantropic actions.
