    A case for ADHD/ADD diagnosis

    https://mylessonsinreality.com/2016/12/06/a-case-for-addadhd-diagnosis/ I wrote this article is in response to an e-mail written by a close friend of mine who is an ADD/ADHD denier. At 32, I've decided to start taking Adderall for the first time to manage some of my symptoms and the response by my friends has been more judgmental than I anticipated. I think that average person is not versed enough in the new research to understand that attention is a cognitive function that can be impaired enough to make small every day tasks burdensome. I synthesized some scientific research to make my case. Please feel free to provide feedback and to share your own experiences.

    Allow me to introduce myself....Hi! I'm Sandra

    Hi Snapzu Community;

    My name is Sandra. I'm an ADHDer with a penchant for chocolate, coffee and sarcastic eye rolling. I was born in Argentina and live in San Diego California where I work at a renewable energy re-enacting scenes from the movie Office Space, except without the rebellion and flair. Right now I sit next to one of five ferns around the office, although there are rumors that I might be relocated next to the printers and across from Liz - a hypochondriac Mormon mother of three who has at least one relative a month die. Basically, I can't ask her how she is doing. The answer is never good and I've had to learn this the really hard way. Anyway, fingers crossed for this sweet spot!

    I started a blog at the beginning of the year to entertain myself at work:

    Writing helps me brainstorm and gives my thoughts focus - something that is hard for me to do with ADHD. I'm hoping to use Snapzu to engage in a community of accepting folks, gain new perspectives and maybe be inspired. My interests are all over the board. I love learning about all kinds of topics - art, literature, science, technology, music, ect. I'm one of those people that knows a little about everything and can schmooze a room of rocket scientists as well as stoned out surfer dudes. Hopefully I'll find a niche here.

    It's great to meet ya'll. Feel free to reach out and engage!

    This is a blog I started to avoid a mental breakdown at work as I waste away at my cubbie.
