Pfft.

Carts before horses much? It couldn't possibly be that ADHD people tend towards adrenaline rich sports & careers, and periodically lose the ability to think and walk at the same time? (Boom! ...I'm okay! I'm a ninja! I meant to do that! Nothing injured but my pride! Gravity storm got me. Look out for that speck of dust. Ouch.)

& Im sure that has absolutely nothing to do wih pre-existing shit-for-impulse control.

I wonder if I can jump all the way -LEAP!- down this <insert flight of stairs, roof, balcony, cliff, very large rock, bookcase, ravine> -CRASH! ouch- ...without hurting myself. Huh. Maybe should have gotten a rope.

Some of these studies really piss me off. Have these so called researchers ever actually spent any time with ADHD kids & adults? Maybe even in our natural habitat? (Aka, the ER)

Also... "Symptoms of ADHD" applied to hypofocus :rolleyes: is about as spitting-mad as "Symptoms of PTSD" applied to anxiety. Disorders have constellations of symptoms for a reason. :banghead: (oops. & there goes another TBI)
