- trollied 3y agoThere is absolutely no need to name call like that.
- bilekas 3y agoOh i thought we were just throwing out assumptions. My bad.
- ilyt 3y agoWell if we assume someone is doctor or moron with no state in-between like you suggest, how would moron like you notice the difference ?
- bilekas 3y agoLike the "in-between" of ADHD and dyslexia? I'm being facetious to make a point.
- DragonStrength 3y agoBeing skeptical of the sudden rise of "everything is ADHD" when the end game is access to stimulants following years of relaxed regulation on prescribing those drugs is perfectly reasonable. It's amazing how every symptom became ADHD when unscrupulous VC-backed startups took the pandemic as an opportunity to start marketing and prescribing ADHD medication online.
- bilekas 3y agoI feel that's a separate topic though and I won't assume that the op for example is misdiagnosed. I can only take what is asked at face value really. I will say though it's interesting how in the US ADHD seems to be as common as hay fever whereas in the EU seems to me that it's very rare to be prescribed for ADHD.
- sph 3y agoFWIW, dyslexia and/or dysgraphia are common ADHD comorbidities.
- maleldil 3y agoYes, because all mental illnesses fit into perfectly neat boxes.
- DragonStrength 3y agoNo one is talking about mental illness here. ADHD and dyslexia are not mental illnesses.
- noisy_boy 3y agoI don't have any significant experience about ADHD or Dyslexia, either in professional capacity or as a layman to make diagnostic statements. However, just going by definition of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, continued focus is an issue. When you have code like below where a bunch of attention/focus might be needed to just to parse it/keep it all in your head and those things are biologically in deficit, I can imagine it won't be smooth sailing: trait Processor<'a, 'b, T>: 'a + 'b { type Output: 'a + Clone + Debug; fn process<U, V>(&'a self, item: &'b T, other: U) -> V where U: 'a + Clone + Debug, V: 'a + Into<Self::Output>; } PS: for rustaceans, this is made-up code to make a point so please don't try to optimize it.
- eyelidlessness 3y ago> ADHD doesn’t affect your ability to read That’s a very strong negative claim that deserves citation.
