Must master every little iota of it. Can't let other things get in
my way in the mean time. Once I hit the terminal, I drop it like a rock."Oh yes, John! Very, very ADD.
> > "...commenting that in adults addiction to
psychostimulants generally manifests symptoms of ADD,
particulartly people who abuse cocaine or speed."Yes, again I agree. That's not to say if you don't abuse drugs, you're not ADD. I took meth once, & once only. I felt SO good & SO normal. But the attraction was so powerful, it scared me, especially as I saw other friends get addicted. Caffeine does nothing for me. I can take Wake-Up pills & sleep on them, but maybe I'm very UNsensitive to caffeine.
And lastly John, I don't get bored easily either. That doesn't mean you're not ADD. I can stick to something & finish it, specially if I'm hyperfocusing on it. I hate being stopped in the middle of something. The two things that have held my interest consistently through all the years is animals & growing plants. That's why I figure I need to find a career in plants. Another reason for the interest in plants is it's impossible to learn everything about it. It's a constant learning process in the science behind all of it.
