Very informative, I actually learned something new Lol

I also read an article that you might find interesting as well. It explains how the frontal lobes of the brain in ADHD people are smaller than average. Although about 30 minutes later trying to look for it I can't find it. Should have bookmarked, oh well.

You're welcome. I didnt think that anyone would reply to this

I reply to everything I read, I swear it's a form internet OCD LoL. All kidding aside though, I've found that this forum is alot more helpful than any of the others I have been on.

Sorry If I didn't make much sense. I just woke up

Internet OCD? - Hmmm, i'm surprised that some 'quack' hasn't come up with that and made it into an official dioagnosis! Look at my post count though... ...would you think I have Internet OCD?!

YES!! I think you have Internet OCD. Kidding. And some guy better not steal that, I came up with it all on my own hehe

You know, you can register new words/phrases with the Oxford English Dictionary.

Wow, I didn't know that Lol. Might help I have tons of words that I just randomly come up with some times

I think"internet OCD" might fall under the "cyberchondriac" category.... though technically, a cyberchondriac is one who looks up medical conditions a lot...

That is interesting Chucky! I do have a maturational lag, but not in the area they specify.. but then again, I also have more than ADHD going on... but I am similar in that I do have a relative Alpha power excess which could be the result of an improper response to dopamine...

What is interesting? - The dictionary thing? You can suggest the new words but it's no guarantee at all that they'll be accepted. Words that have recently been added include 'quango' and 'poopyplip', or something like that. Of course, the word 'Google' is now a verb. Basically, they said that if a word is to be added, it has to have genuine usefulness and is used by a reasonably large group of people regularly. They also remove words from the Oxford English Dictionary too. These are words that no-one used anymore, typically ones from 1600s, 1700s, etc.
