Blame it on the A.D.D.

Grow the fuck up.
I got it done, so harsh man. I cite my A.D.H.D, cause excuses and such. I've got a full ride to college waiting for me and I work 40 hours a week, I'm at least a 14 year old.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
You can blame it on any made up brain disorder you want. I don't buy it.
I wouldn't say it's made up, especially considering proven functional differences of certain substances between an ADHD mind and non ADHD mind. Regardless, my attention span is ****, but I'm doing just fine in life, just thought I'd post a thread and try to get people chatting! By the way, I'm a fan of your trolling, but my Jimmies will remain unrustled. Haha, good day sir.

 
I was the same way back in college, bass vids, tutorials, box construction, reviews, demos, etc... Hell i'm still doing the same thing still. Used to be into gaming and computer stuff but after getting a strong gaming computer, i've lost all urges to play games. One of those "if you dont have it, you want it, but now that you do have it, you lose interest" sort of thing. Totally different with car audio though, this shiet is worse then crack.
Couldn't agree more. Haha, endless cycles!

You have any proof of these studies?

ADD and ADHD are two different things. There are a lot of people that are diagnosed when they are younger with one of these disorders and it's not because their brains function incorrectly. It's easier to prescribe medication to a kid then to be a **** good parent and make them pay attention to ****. It's sad but that has become a reality for a lot of individuals and it bothers the **** out of me. I'm willing to bet that you don't have ADD or ADHD, you're a normal individual but you can't focus on homework because you don't want to. It's not because your brain functions differently.

You make a good point, and I'm sure I could find some but mostly it's from living it and hearing of it. My grades have always been good so I've avoided medication, gladly enough. But my older brother was not so lucky, they gave him adderal. For him adderal was a way to focus and it shut off his personality. For the average person, adderal is speed and does the opposite, that's some proof. For myself, my experiences are mostly just observations that I then looked up because I was curious as to why I was "different" per say. I could drink soda before bed and still fall right to sleep when I was younger regardless of caffeine. As I've grown older I've learn to love coffee, and I realized that coffee chills me out and helps me to focus rather than stimulate me and make me hyper. I can drink a double shot of coffee and go straight to bed, hell, I'll drink one sometimes to help me sleep. It's strange, but I know I've looked up studies stating this, and that was after I realized the effects so I don't think the idea was put into my head and that's why I think it does that to me. I dunno, I'm not a genius, but it's my life and I definitely feel that I have reason enough to think I've got ADHD based off of the things I've read and effects I've observed.

Here's a few random ones I've found with citation and a sound set of references, indicates a difference between the ADHD brain and the normal. As well as the different effects of Amphetamines and other stimulants in the mind of an ADHD person.

You're examples of "living with it" are asinine. I don't have ADD or ADHD and i've always been able to drink monster/coffee/mt.dew and go to sleep. That proves absolutely nothing. If you're self diagnosing yourself with ADHD, i guess that's fine, but you have no proof of this statement. That's like someone stating they're an introvert when reality is they are ******* weird and no one wants to talk to them. ADHD is mostly a made up diagnosis that is given to younger people because their parents don't want to deal with their ****. Don't assume that you have some disability or disfunction all because you don't want to do something. You're just focusing on a different task or are lazy.

Is it cool to tell people that you have some kind of disorder? Did I miss this meeting or something? I've never wanted to tell people that there was something wrong with me but maybe that's what all the cool kids are doing now. Too bad I don't want to be a cool kid. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Did you really just do a google search on caffeine effect on ADHD and post the first 4 links? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif You posted wiki.answers as a credible source. Holy hell dude, i'm dying over here. You might as well quote WebMD while you're at it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif This is not proof. This is a quick search and all of those "sources" were someones opinion. A medical journal doesn't have "like us on Facebook and comment on what I said in this blog". Would you quote ca.com on sundown audio sub t/s specs? No because ca.com is a forum where people post ideas. You want the facts you'll go to the manufacturer's site and get the information directly. Yes, some posts have facts to back up their comments but most are individuals opinions. Do some actual research and let me know way you find. You may surprise yourself by finding out that you are just like everyone else and nothing special. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Edit- Just realized you were in high school. It'll serve you well to do some actual research on topics before you speak because if you try to succeed in college or life by bullshitting your way through, you're not gonna do well. I'm not an extremely smart man but I can see how little you know about this topic. Don't screw yourself over and talk about things you know nothing about. I'm not gonna attack you or talk down to you, and I apologize if I came off that way, but you might want to know a little about a topic before you start talking on it.

Don't know what got you so worked up but dude, your opinion is your opinion. I'm not on here to start fights. I posted some links, you look at them? I'm not self diagnosing, I've been diagnosed, but I don't need the meds because my grades are really good. Plus, I'm not really strutting it like it's a cool thing, I just mentioned it as an excuse. I'm not a cool kid, I'm weird as ****, but I don't and never have wanted to be cool. Even if I did I couldn't manage it. Regardless, you seem just a tad bit too frustrated by a thread in the dome that was not created to be taken seriously. Chill man!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Dude, this thread was made as a goofy thing, not a "I'm an expert on ADHD and this is why" thread, it's a bullish*t thread with no purpose other than to express my addiction of this crap. Of course I just copied and pasted the first few links, I don't really care to do more, nor should I have to considering this is a damned car audio forum. Believe me, I don't care if I'm not special, I'm not trying to be different. I understand quite a bit more than you seem to think and I apologize that you are annoyed that I didn't post a scientific thesis when I dared to mention a reason as to why I can't focus. Anywho, it's fine, no hard feelings. I'm really not stupid, but I'll search and find super great sources when I'm writing a research paper and not posting to a car audio forum.

 
I'm here responding to this thread so, I guess I have something in common with most of you guys. I'm on the treadmill at the moment if that's gives anyone a clue that I also have an addiction:( ironically, I'm an Addictions Counselor! Ha ha ha!
