My OCD helps me make sure the things that can go boom are all turned off. If I was going under the knife, I’d prefer a doctor with a touch of OCD. Knowing which body part is going to be addressed is key when you have a right and a left.

I have ADHD but was never diagnosed when I was younger/a kid. I've learned to live with it but have never taken any meds for it. It has it pros and cons but I've learned\taught myself to limit the cons. I have to put certain things(phone, keys, wallet, etc.) in the same spot everyday. I have to remind myself to stay on task and finish what I'm currently doing. If someone ask me to do or get something while I'm in the process of doing something I ignore them or tell them to remind me when I'm done. It's been very useful for all the years I spent in management believe it or not. It allows me to multi task at a high level as long as I can stay focused on the final result. I try not to start to many projects at the same time because they can take way to long to finish each one. For the idiots that suggested beating or discipline. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!Would you beat and or discipline your blind and or non-verbal child? How about an autistic child? Probably why you self medicate. With your anger issues and nonstop drug use, it's clear you lacked boundaries as a kid. Of course you would change the subject. Autism isn't related to kids with focus and discipline issues. But I'm sure you want to be lumped in with them to feel better about your own issues. Autism is another diagnosis on the rise. Vaxxes? Processed food? Fast food? Environmental changes?

Glad to hear you’ve found ways to overcome your issue without medication (at least prescribed ones).🤣 Disagree with you though that disciplining a child is a bad thing. Disciplining them is not beating or otherwise abusing them. Done right, it’s helping them learn to be responsible.

There's a lot of ignorance on this thread. Out of ten grandkids, 2 are on the spectrum. Both are extremely bright but you deal with them differently. You are correct. A lot of ignorance in this thread. We also put him in Taekwondo a little over a year ago and he just received his blue belt last week. This has helped him as well. This was a good choice IMO. Jiu-jitsu could also help him with focus / concentration and confidence. I have no idea how so many people have ADHD these days. I would not discount big pharma for causing a lot of ailments that otherwise would not exist in humanity, yet I still take mine every day.

I have a friend that was diagnosed with ADHD but hated the way the drugs made him feel. He started smoking pot and it calmed him down enough to do rely well in school. He is now running a paving company and still smoking and doing well.
