3 virtues as laziness, procrastination and hubris? great sense of humour. I’m not into programming but if i was sounds like a cool book.

It says the three virtues of a programmer are laziness, procrastination and hubris, and sprinkles through the book explanations of how those are virtues (but also situations where they're not so good, which the book calls "false laziness" etc.) Quite humourous, and serious at the same time. “the most laziest way to do it”: that reminds me of the book about how to program in the Perl computer programming language http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596000271.do with a picture of a camel on the cover.

I am 29 years old, live in the smallest town in the world (in Brazil) have recently dound out about about ADD, read TONS about it on the internet and I´m sure I have it! there aren´t many doctors around here and I´m seriously doubting I´ll find one who´s even heard of ADD, plus I think my whole family might have it! sounds extreme but if I had to bet (based on what little I know) I´d say my husband and my son have ADHD and I and my daughter ADD, of course l haven´t been diagnosed yet, this is all based on us, our lives, our household chaos, and everything I´ve read so far, I´m going the doc´s tomorrow to book an appointment, for next week, it will probably be a long, tough road to diagnosis and treatment for me (and maybe my children) meanwhile, would you care to talk to me? kill some of my curiosity about this? maybe I´m a good case study, research, whatever, maybe you can help me long-distance. Is it possible for a whole family to have AD(H)D? I also think my dad has it! I´d really like to hear from you, I´d really appreciate any help. Thank you so much, Denise I need help!

Used to be known as the smart kid in school but then couldnt understand how people caught me up, but now I know, I write childrens books, I'm a musician and a singer in a band, I'm an amateur personal trainer, but in work I can't remember anything and I make the most rediculous mistakes, but when I look at some of the office procedures I can see how long winded and non-sensical they are so I think i'm gonna try to streamline them.. Oh God I can feel a hyper coming on... ZOOOM bye! To Christina, yes exercise will defo help the stress levels, I’ve just realised I have ADD woop..

I am SO IMPATIENT to tell my son about it!! ha ha....I am absolutely in LOVE the idea of finding the LAZIEST way to do something haha. I have so often described to doctors and therapists that trying to teach my children responsibility, consistency and organization is like a person with no legs trying to teach her children with no legs how to run! I had to write to you on this one though because if there is a SHORTER ROUTE to get something done you can BEST BET that I am going to FIND IT! And if i am in a situation, where people REFUSE to do that because that is 'the way it has always been done' I have the same exact thoughts as you. And what blows my mind, is how many people really are too lazy to figure out a shorter way or work out the details FROM the big picture rather than letting the big picture fall where it may. AND MAY I SAY that louisiana USA has to be the place in the world where anyone with ADHD may go the most insane! (ha) Reading through all of this has REALLY made me see why I am SO OFTEN IRRITATED with people and feel that they are idiots ha! What is a huge effort to THEM really is obvious and common sense to me. I have raised my son to celebrate his differences and strengths as an ADD child, whereas I was treated shamefully although I'm sure my parents did the best with what they had.

I have a thirteen month old son, and I am only 19 myself. I've always felt like I wasn't the best mom I could be, thought it was because of my age, and just recently (today actually) thought that it may be the ADD I was diagnosed with in the 2nd grade, and haven't been treated for since the 5th or sixth grade. Everyday is hard for me, but I am determined to become a better mother. Decided to do some research and have loved the couple articles that I've read so far. You had an article about ADD parents raising AD/HD children, are your views the same about ADD parents raising younger children who haven't yet been diagnosed with AD/HD? I live on Guam, so it's not surprising that nobody has formed an ADD support group here yet. Would love to read your link "26 Ways Pete Can Help ADD Adults," but can't get it to open. Thanks so much for you time, and for this blog, hope to visit frequently. Hi. I have a thirteen month old son, and I am only 19 myself.

I guess it depends on who they're rude too. Everyone's rude sometime, even non ADDers. If they're rude to me or other ADD coaches, we usually won't want to deal with them. I guess the person would have to learn that their behavior is unacceptable and get out of denial (i.e., "he made me angry") and take responsibility for their behavior and start changing it. Coaches are human and most humans with good boundaries won't deal with people like that, perhaps some therapists might, not sure on that though. good question John.
