I do get a little sick of this ADHD thing Back in the mid 90's I hardly ever had a client/patient who claimed to have ADHD. Then as if by magic the ADHD disagnosis started to spread outside the school gates. Parents and teachers concerned about their disruptive, uncontrollable, taughty children. NORMAL CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOUR suddenly became something we could diagnose and prescribe unnecessarey powerful medicines to children. YOUR NATURAL STATES # I’ve found I personally have three states of being… Hyperfocus, where I’m deeply focused on one thing and phenomenally productive. Physical, where I have lots of energy, but little mental focus. Burnt out, where both my mental and physical energy are low. Three things that, as a "common o garden" introvert, I struggle with almost every day and I am not a ADHD card carrier. There should be NO! card carrying for ADHD. HYPERFOCUS # Just yesterday I spent a lost 5 hours learning a new song on my acoustic guitar. I of course was extremely focussed to complete the sing and give me some pleasure. PHYSICAL # Like every human being on the planet! BURNT OUT # It’s not uncommon for everyonwe to feel burnt out. I used to manage a full time job, Volunteer as a therapist three night each week (for 10 years), engaged in constant continued professional development training, managing my family and friends. WOW! I got tired sometimes. ALL THESE COMMON HUMAN EXPERIENCES ARE JUST YOUR EVERY DAY HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
