I’ve been reading blogging by Scicurious (formerly of Neurotopia at Science Blogs, now at a blog called either “Neurotic Psychology” or “Scicurious”, I’m not sure which. She’s a post-doc in neuroscience, and she has posted in the past about various psychoactive medications and how they work. She writes about the two major classes of ADHD drugs, [...] A few weeks back, a feature recently ran in the Shelby Star in which a reader wrote in asking about whether the Feingold Diet might work for her son’s ADHD. The columnist, John Rosemond, replied that while many mental health professionals believe that the diet is ineffective because of, you know, insufficient evidence. But, [...] I just spent an hour and a half getting four cavities filled. All of them were between my teeth. These are in addition to the three that I had filled in December. If you missed that post, let me fill you in (ha!): thanks to my ADD meds, I had seven #%$^ing cavities at [...] Princeton freshman Diane Metcalf-Leggette is suing the University for their refusal to accommodate her learning disabilities by granting her extra time to take exams. The student suffers from several learning disabilities that effect her visual and language processing ability, requiring her to check and re-check her work several times while she’s writing. Metcalf-Leggette was [...] I’ve blogged before about the seasonal aspects of my ADD. Unsurprisingly, things have been even worse since the return to Standard Time (ptui!) and the loss of another hour of light in the afternoon. I’ve been more tried, more hungry, more spacey … and paradoxically, less able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. “Attention” [...] Last week over at Well-Ordered Chaos I wrote about perfectionism and ADD. I had spent 20 hours writing a lens for a Squidoo contest, even though I deliberately picked a topic that I thought would be easy and quick. Well, my perfectionism was not in vain, because I won the contest! Yay! You can check out [...] Yesterday I hung a light in my art studio. Just an ordinary shop light, soft wired, hung from basic ceiling hooks, with daylight corrected bulbs instead of standard florescent tubes. It’s the kind of thing that should take half an hour. Once again, I need to say that Google Voice rocks. I love getting transcripts of voice mail as e-mail and SMS. I hate answering the phone, because it’s such an interruption, and because if I need to write anything down I have to find my computer and type it up somewhere … so it’s ten [...] Yesterday at <a href=”http://www.wellorderedchaos.addaptabilities.com/?p=318″>Well-Ordered Chaos</a> I blogged about heading out the door, needing to catch a train, and realizing literally at the last minute that I needed to set out donations for a pick-up. Even though I was successful — I set everything out, taped signs to it, and even made my train — I [...] I overslept this morning and didn’t have time to eat breakfast. I had to gulp down a nutrition bar on my way to the gym. A nutrition bar with lots of sugar. Nutrition bars are a good thing when you’re out hiking and you need energy. They are not a good thing if you have ADD [...] |
