Why Call It ADD?
- The name is so wrong. ADD stands for attention deficit disorder, and ADHD adds an H for hyperactivity. I use the former, since I don't have the H thing.
But a deficit of attention? I think most of us with ADD would agree we have more like a surplus of attention. And a disorder? That leaves out our strengths.
Still, I use ADD because it's a widely understood term for a useful concept. When you comment on this site, feel free to use whatever term you're comfortable with.
Sharing
- If you have ADD, you’ve probably heard plenty of criticism over the years—including from yourself. Enough of that! Here are my requests to those who comment:
Don't criticize others, give advice, or speculate on others’ motives.
Do share your own experience, strength, and hope!
New to ADD?
ADD is not just about wiggly boys. It’s a constellation of traits that’s hard to capture in a few words. These links will help you get started:- Excerpt: 'Delivered from Distraction' : NPR
Chapter 1 of the book Delivered from Distraction is a good place to start. It gives a great overview of ADD in all its complexity. - ADDvance - Is your Daughter a Daydreamer, Tomboy or "Chatty Kathy"?
About ADD in girls. - Article: Suggested Diagnostic Criteria for AD/HD in Adults
On ADD in adults. - Sari Solden- ADD & AD/HD Women's Checklist
On ADD in women. - ADDvance - Special Issues for Women with ADD (ADHD)
Another on ADD in women. - ADDvance - Does your Gifted Child have ADD (ADHD)?
On giftedness and ADD. - Article: The Positive Aspects of AD/HD
The positives.
You Can Meditate!
- Links to Online Guided Meditations
Research suggests that meditation might help address the symptoms of ADD (and a lot of other conditions). But if you have ADD, you might find it hard to meditate. I compiled this list of online guided meditations. See if they help!
