Sorry about not posting as much lately, but I started another blog I am trying to get up and running.

I have also been debating about posting my personal issues, thoughts, and struggles with being ADHD instead of trying to be more professional or educational. I am now thinking that these insights might actually be educational for some parents.

So my wife saw a commercial the other day that had mentioned ADHD as being a positive. Man I started to get excited, thinking wow finally someone is listening. My wife found the website and sent me a link HERE , but if you look down at the bottom it leads to this site HERE. Yeah I know pretty slick marketing, huh?

So I was thinking about this and it kind of makes you wonder…. If these drugs were good for you child and if your children really needed them why would they have to spin this and make a fake site? And if they truly believe that your child is special and thinks different than most children why would they want you to drug your child? So I guess what they are saying is “your child is intelligent and can disrupt the norm and could possibly be brilliant”, but until society accepts this,  you need to drug your child and make them a zombie or at least strip them of their natural brilliant ability.”.

I wonder who the idiot is that came up with this commercial. Some idiot in marketing saying “Oh wait I got it, lets play on the parents love for their child.” If anyone knows who is behind this marketing campaign or does the marketing for Shire let me know.

Just makes me question the people, company, and drug behind this effort. I guess the snake oil salesman is still alive and kicking. Its funny in all the old western TV shows you always hated the snake oil salesman and could see him coming a mile away, but yet society today doesn’t see it this way in real life.

I have started to alter the direction of my blog. From now on I will only be posting content that relates strictly to ADHD or ADD, I will no longer posting about innovation or society as a whole. With this blog, I hope to help those individuals or families who see ADHD as bad accept the gift (I know this term is overused) that they have been given. I have a working theory on ADHD and hope to someday be able to publish my findings and share my experience as an ADHDer with others. It took me 34 years, but I have finally figured it all out. Life is patterns.
