Attention Deficit Disorder Test By : Michelle Bery In the world of childhood diagnoses, not many disorders have gotten as much wide spread attention as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Suddenly, the symptoms that parents were witnessing in their children had a name and these children could be tested against a medically defined checklist. The Attention Deficit Disorder Test is ordinarily performed by a medical professional in a clinical setting. However, many parents, when assessing the need for such a test, may decide to ... Adult Add: Why Can't Somebody Else Do It? By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank When you're bored, and you have ADD, you procrastinate about doing boring things and become frustrated, and well... they just don't get done. There are many things that you can do. We’ve already really beaten into the ground the fact that, as soon as you can, you need to start outsourcing and delegating them one at a time to other people. However, when you have to do the boring tasks—when you’ve got to do the dishes, take out the garbage, or some kind of accounting if your... Adult Add: The Outer Limits By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank We have definite ideas about ADD and the place for people in the world who have it. We think they're lucky! They're generally intelligent, creative, and dynamic. But ADD does present certain limitations. Our thoughts on that go like this: People with ADD think so fast and move so fast that a lot of people can’t understand us. We’re a minority of the population. The majority of the population has such a step-by-step, linear-thinking approach, and what is exciting to a p... Joining An Attention Deficit Disorder Support Group By : Michelle Bery Living with the effects of Attention Deficit Disorder can be overwhelming and enormously demanding. Everyday activities that are barely noticed by other people take on a whole new set of challenges when you have Attention Deficit Disorder. The impact on one’s daily life can really only be understood by those who have also experienced it. For this reason, many who suffer from this condition often find participation in an Attention Deficit Disorder Support Group to be enormousl... Understanding Attention Deficit Disorder Symptoms By : Michelle Bery Attention Deficit Disorder can be defined in three ways – inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and a combination of both. New and better treatments for Attention Deficit Disorder are being developed every day. But prior to treatment is the obvious step of diagnosis – which can be the most difficult stage. Learning to understand Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms is the first line of defense in tackling this difficult condition. Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms manifest them... Adult Add: Will You Make Money? By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank We've talked about ADD and money in our last couple of articles. This time, we're going another step further. Once you have your money organized and you have excess, meaning all of your bills are paid and you’re out of debt, then you can have something set aside for messing around, having just fun with. We’re going to talk with you about an ADD-friendly system that will help you to do just that. When you’re down to the wire, when the money is not there and you don’t kn... Attention Deficit Disorder Without Hyperactivity: A Growing Problem Among Children By : Dr. April Davall Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the most commonly talked about disorder in children today, attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity is just as much of a problem. ADHD is more easily diagnosed because the hyperactivity is easy to see. So it is important for parents to know what to look for to determine whether their child has Attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity. Learning the Symptoms Attention deficit disorder without hyperactivi... Adult Add: "hey, Doc... Sorry I Didn't Make It.--add." By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank Are you someone whose whole existence is rushing from one thing to the next thing, constantly apologizing, “I’m so sorry I’m late. What did I miss?" Or do you run from meeting to meeting or miss appointments with the dentist? (Or ignore them, because you know you won't make the appointment anyway.) Do have ADD, and is that your life? Do you feel incompetent? Stuff like that can wreak havoc on your self-worth, especially if you have ADD. You begin to feel that the image y... Adhd After School By : Patricia Williams Most forward-thinking teachers and instructors understand how to meet the special needs of children with ADHD. Unfortunately, many parents don't. ADHD is an acronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Children with ADHD struggle with attention problems, as well as hyperactivity. Teachers are trained to help ADHD kids deal with their personal obstacles and meet their learning potential. However, parents can often find it difficult to keep children safely occu... Adult Add: Stop Add Impulsiveness Cold By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank With attention deficit disorder, we get an impulse, we want to go act on it. So, ADD people buy things at full price, and pay more than they should for products and services because of this ADD impulsivity. But, the cool part is that you have a choice. You can choose to be impulsive and say, “Oh well, I have ADD and that’s just the way I am. I guess I’ll just be stuck spending more money than I care to for the rest of my life,” or, you can say, “Okay, I know I’m impuls... Adult ADD: Using ADD To Make More By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank In our last articles we discussed finding a way for you to get more money and how this works when you have attention deficit. But number one, you’ve got to know how much more money you want. It’s not okay just to say, “I need more money.” How much more money do you need? That way, you can figure out whom you’re going to target to get what you need. If you’re in a business where you sell a product, or you sell service by the hour, let’s say if you need $1,000 more dollars a... Adult ADD: Battle Of The Bucks By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank Do you have the frantic mindset that people get around money when they don’t have enough? Many times you will hear, “Listen, before you focus on making more money, you need to focus on really organizing your money properly.” People just can't adopt that mindset when they were really, really, really hurting for cash. Maybe there are some ADD people out there who’ve done it, and if you can do it, more power to you, that’s awesome! But most of the time when ADD people, or eve... Adult ADD: More Delegation Tips By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank Why don’t we talk a little bit about the delegation process, especially if people are just starting with delegation? You either have no experience or maybe you have some experience, but you haven’t had either good or effective experience with delegation. Part of the problem may have to do with your ADD. It's sometimes hard for ADD people to let go because they like to be in control. That's okay, but you can really get so much more accomplished when you delegate things y... Adult ADD: When One Does And The Other Doesn't By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank Do you wake up every morning in a great mood and immediately start wanting to talk about all of your great ADD-induced ideas? Are you full of energy and ready to leap from the starting blocks? Many of us with ADD are. But maybe your partner isn't quite so lively in the morning. Does he or she wake up in a quiet mood? It's not that they don't like mornings, but maybe they're just not ready to hear about the exciting ideas you have planned, until he or she's had coffee. Y... Adult ADD: Relationships And ADD By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank Many people include the word “relationship” to mean only a boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse. But when you go into business, you'll find that people use the word “relationship” in many different ways. Think about relationships this way: You have kind of a hub and spoke; think of a bicycle wheel. You’re the middle of that bicycle wheel and everybody that you communicate with and everybody that you work with or have a relationship with—that could be your spouse, your signific... Adult ADD: You Control The Horizontal; You Control The Vertical By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank So, you have ADD, right? Do you ever find yourself fidgeting? Like... foot tapping, your whole body might be moving, your fingers tapping--that kind of fidgeting? For ADD people, this probably indicates stress of some kind or sheer boredom. In fact, if you have ADD, you're probably constantly moving around. Most of the time you may not even notice it. You can be shaking your leg a million miles an hour, not notice, and get mad at someone else for the same kind of repetitiv... Adult ADD: Tackling Time Mastery By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank When you are dressed up really, really nice, like wearing your best suit—when we say nice, we mean business nice, not out on the town nice necessarily. We're talking about something you’d wear to go present at a conference. Do you feel like you can harness the power of your ADD to get more done? Well then, (and this is true for people with or without ADD) if you're having a difficult time or whatever, shower and shave or fix your hair, then put on your suit and crank. You’... Common Signs And Symptoms Of ADHD By : Sue Perkins There are three major categories of ADHD, established through years of research and study: the inattentive type, the hyperactive-impulsive type and the combined type. Each classification has its own signs and symptoms, and to be considered as having an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, a person should show at least six of the signs. The signs and symptoms vary from one person to another, but the general indications of ADHD are: difficulty paying attention, difficul... Take Control Of Your ADD By : Jennifer Taylor For people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), using positive thinking to overcome frustration can be a challenge. But there are ways to turn everyday difficulties around, develop a more positive attitude, and take control of your life. Positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder do not necessarily go hand-in-hand. Many people with ADD develop negative thinking patterns. They become frustrated by daily challenges and often feel overwhelmed. This negative outlook ma... Adult ADD: Are You A "Fire" Fighter? By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank In business, we refer to the word "fires," a lot of times. These are “fires that happen,” not literal fires, but things that need to be taken care of. A fire could anything that someone else thinks is really important and they come to you, and try to throw it on you as your problem because when you have ADD, you're probably good at putting fires out. You may say, “Oh, let me go take care of that” because when you have ADD, you have a tendency to want to control things. But... Important Information On ADHD By : Joshua Wills ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This is a rather common disease that causes people to be over hyper and get easily distracted. In order to make a diagnosis of ADHD you must go to a trained doctor who is aware of how to detect it. A lot of the symptoms that people get with ADHD are parts of other diseases and disorders. Some people believe that ADHD is more of a problem with the mind that you just have to learn to get over. While there is usuall... Adult ADD: Flex Time And How To Manage It By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank When do you want to see clients? When do you want to return phone calls? What do you want to do in your business that’s not so structured and when? Setting up your "time zones" is very important for someone with ADD. But when thinking of this kind of time that we call "flex" time, remember that it's one of the three types of time--focus time and free time being the others. Choose a specific period of time for flex time, just as you would with focus time and free time... What Causes ADHD? By : Sue Perkins Parents of children with ADHD often blame themselves for it. But studies show little evidence that ADHD is caused by social factors or child-rearing methods, indicating instead that genetics and neurobiology are to blame. Environmental factors do not give rise to ADHD completely, but only influence the situation and level of impairment the person may experience. There are six possible causes of ADHD-like behavior: learning disability, a sudden change in the child's life li... What Is ADHD?

You may find that if you just cut loose when you're ADD-driven, the next thing you know, you'll look around and say, “Oh, my gosh, where did all this mess come from?” When you realize that it's all yours, you'll probably feel horrible. ADD people really do like to have things tidy. So, if you create a system to deal with the messes you inevitably make, you'll know where everything g... Adult ADD: ADD-Friendly Systems For You By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank The whole reason for having a system is if you’re frustrated with certain things in your life or certain things keep happening and it’s just not okay with you. Then, you are perfectly ripe and ready to put some kind of a system in place so that you don’t have to have that kind of frustration. Systems don’t come naturally to a lot of people, especially people with ADD. It’s something you learn. Does everyone you know tell you that you do something different every single ... Tips For Living Successfully With ADD / ADHD By : Tara McGillicuddy Structure Yes, I know we all hate structure. If the world was perfect place we would not need it. It may be one of the most important things to help us survive in this non-ADD world. We also need the correct amount of structure in our lives. Too much makes us rebel or feel trapped. When we don't have enough structure we lose track of the world around us. A schedule works well for both children and adults with ADD. Make a plan for each day. Make sure you give yourself or... Adult ADD: One Quick Way To For People With ADD To Control Time And Avoid Distractions By : Tellman Knudson And Stephanie Frank People with ADD are prone to distractions, even more so than people without ADD, though everyone has them. If you work at home, mundane distractions can be frustrating and very hard to ignore.

Knudson We’re in an informational age. Information is more available now than there's ever been in the world. More will be available tomorrow. Unless the entire Internet crashes, I predict that’s going to continue for a long time. So, the question isn’t, “How many opportunities are there?” or “What is the best opportunity?” because there’s no such thing. There’ll be a better opportunity tomorrow than the one you’re working on today. When you have ADD, it’s a blessing and a curs... Adult ADD: Secrets For A Carefree Mind By : Tellman H. Knudson Do you suffer from ADD? Does this sound like you? You can’t remember where you’re going because the time and place are on a sticky note, or you put the information on a note card, and then lost it. It’s on paper, but you can't find the paper! You definitely need to plug into things that work for you based on how your brain works when you have ADD. Don't be a sticky note person. If you have ADD, you probably have issues with cluttering things up. Try making things rea... Adult ADD: What Everybody Should Know... About How To Focus Attention By : Tellman H. Knudson Focus is a very interesting thing. It’s kind of confusing for a lot of people. Sometimes people have focus when they don’t know that they’re focused. Some people just can’t seem to focus. Some people find that they’re focusing on the wrong things, and not the things they want to focus on. It’s difficult to measure. Focus is a concept. It’s very difficult to say, “I’m focused" right? Versus, “I’m not focused,” because it’s very, very subjective. Where’s the focus scale? How...
