  I think the &quot;but he/she has no problems paying attention to videos games&quot; phenomenon (*see also TV, Sports, music, legos, etc) &nbsp;has done more to keep kids from being diagnosed by well meaning parents than probably any other thing. &nbsp;<br><br>It really is a bummer they call it attention &quot;deficit&quot; disorder instead of something more accurate.

  I think my “giftedness” is what has been saving me from being absolutely useless the whole life, like thanks to my intellect I can achieve at least something like a normal human being

  I got chills all over my body when she talked about people talking about your wasted potential and assuming it’s a moral failure. Thanks for saying it out loud!!

  I was beaten almost every day when I was a kid because I couldn&apos;t focus. &nbsp;Unfortunately the last time gave me a brain injury so now I have terrible memory problems. &nbsp;I hope and pray for anyone that needs help, that they receive it.

  The idea that hyperactivity isn&apos;t always physical was really reassuring. It also explains my entire childhood.

  The phrase &quot;It&apos;s either NOW or not-now.&quot; hit me so hard. I use to procastinate on so many things until suddenly at a random moment I have the biggest urge to do it NOW! RIGHT this moment!<br>If I don&apos;t it will take ages or never happen...
