Thanks Dave, wow didn’t know you worked with Paul Orfalea. Cool.

Yes a big part of dealing with ADHD is acceptance, until you do that all the rest is pretty hard. Once you do that and get rid of or reduce resistance to reality, you’re in a better position to discover what works for you and adapt your life to it.

Indeed with your coaching, ADD’ers can turn this condition into an advantage. I worked for Paul Orfalea for a few months and found him to be a genuine good guy who realized and accepted the way his brain worked and made the best of it.

Hi Mark, officially there’s the hyperactive impulsive, the inattentive and combined type (which combines the first two).

Not everyone even within one type will all have the same problems, we’re unique and we may have ADHD that does not totally define us.

Some ADDers are extroverted, some are introverts some are more visual, some more kinesthetic, some are very disorganized, some have learned to be very organized, we all have different talents etc.

You might want to check out Dr. Ed Hallowell’s book Delivered from Distraction for a good overview on ADHD

Coach Pete Quily
I noticed ADHD 31 on the left bottom front page corner of the Georgia Straight newspaper. I read the article. I connected to many of the issues but disagreed with some of the points. I thought to myself } Coach Quily and i must have a different sub type of ADHD. { Still I really enjoyed Coach Quily’s point of view. Thinking about what to reply, to the Straight. I clicked to Coach Pete Quily’s blog. I agree, I would agree even more with the article in the Straight. With your corrections. Gail Johnson’s article is accurate and very informative. In fact, some of my disagreement, could be fact to a different person with ADD. I am a good driver, never had ticket or a accident, I would rather take the bus though. I am a great forklift driver. Hard on the back though!
SKILLS vs ADHD,
LIFESKILLS vs ADHD
SKILLS vs ADHD LIFESKILLS
TALENT vs LIFESKILLS
TALENT vs ADHD LIFESKILLS
Different SKILLS same ADHD.
or
Different SKILLS different ADHD

Any thoughts? About Subtypes of ADHD?
The CADDRA Website, you recomended, answers, many of my own questions ,that i have wondered about in a proper diagnose
Makes a lot of sense and i would agree that the guide lines are much more advanced than i know, and am looking forward to studing CADDRA website closer. It’s taken me two hours to write this page. Pure torture, Ha! I’m going to polish some stone. Mark
