Comments4/11/2007 12:39:43 AMNipa Dutta said: This is a great tip. I am from India. In my country it is difficult to find such motivated parents who try to encourage the strengths in their child and do not keep nagging about their weaknesses. It is really great to know that a mother is so motivated and spirited about her child. I think every mother should be so. 4/19/2007 10:43:22 AM Sciencedaydreamer said: I wish you would stop giving people false hope with statements like this. There is no evidence that any of these people actually had ADHD. You are merely making an assumption that is totally baseless. Where did you get this information, from Wikipedia? The suggestion that Albert Einstein may have had ADHD is just ridiculous. If Einstein had ADHD, we would never have heard of him and there would be no Theory of Relativity. The fact that Einstein excelled in Mathematics from an early age and had superior powers of concentration proves your statement false. ADHD sufferers (like myself) do not excel in mathematics. Furthermore they are disorganized, forgetful, and prone to procrastination and tardiness. They are best suited to the arts and writing. If I didn't have ADHD, I would probably be a University professor with a PhD in Biology right now instead of struggling to find work as a secondary science teacher with just a BA in Anthropology. ADHD destroyed my most cherished dreams in life and I wasn't even diagnosed until my thirties. I wish you would stop giving people false hope with statements like this. ADHD is a serious disability which cannot be cured and can only be treated with medication. By suggesting that ADHD is somehow beneficial, you may be doing as much harm as those people who claim that there is no such thing as ADHD or that it is behavioral and not biological. Shame on you. 5/2/2007 1:36:44 PM Albert Einstein said: How did he utilize his creativity 10/26/2008 10:41:18 PM Brian said: While it is indeed speculation that these famous scientists had ADHD, it is not out of real of possibility. I am a scientists with ADHD, and I agree with Sciencedaydreamer that ADHD has made my life very difficult and caused me to re-think my dreams. However, I think Sciencedaydreamer is wrong in his analysis of Einstein. Many ADHD suffers excel at mathematics, so that does not disqualify Einstein from having the condition. Furthermore, Einstein was notorious for being "disorganized, forgetful, and prone to procrastination and tardiness," as were many of the other scientists mentioned in this post. I sympathize and relate to Sciencedaydreamer's frustrations with life, but I disagree that ADHD has to categorically be a hindrance to success. It can be a powerful tool to achieve great things if harnessed properly since we can an uncanny ability to hyperfocus. The challenge is making your brain focus on the right thing when you want it to! 12/11/2008 1:36:00 AM Jon said: I would say that Sciencedaydreamer must first tackle their negativity. Only you, Sciencedaydreamer can free yourself. You have a long journey ahead of you, but you can release your self-limiting thinking, but at some point, perhaps in another lifetime, you will see the wisdom in living from a positive perspective. You can lay your fear down... it will be O.K. (sobbing heard in background) Next.... 2/11/2009 11:44:41 AM Blade Smith said: As a response to Sciencedaydreamer's previous statement, you are false in your assumptions as well, I to have ADHD and im 15 years old, I am pretty well with math and can concentate when I need to, Just because you suffer doesnt mean you are able to justify how the rest of us view and interact with life, you just said we are mentally ill people if we have ADHD and I stongly disagree. We have hope of being brilliant individuals just like everybody else, but just like everybody else, it all depends on our mind sets. Please dont act like you know how all ADHD people react to life, and finally, what evidence do you have to back up the idea that Thomas Edison, Albert Einstien, Alexander Graham Bell and Benjamin Franklin "DIDNT" have our condition? Just think about it before you decide to put us in the idiotic category of the world, we can be smart to. 2/11/2009 11:45:00 AM Blade Smith said: As a response to Sciencedaydreamer's previous statement, you are false in your assumptions as well, I to have ADHD and im 15 years old, I am pretty well with math and can concentate when I need to, Just because you suffer doesnt mean you are able to justify how the rest of us view and interact with life, you just said we are mentally ill people if we have ADHD and I stongly disagree.

I have ADHD-i and was very good at Maths. People called me AryaBhatta in school. In 5th class I started doing Maths of 12th class, and I got a top 100 rank in IIT-JEE 4/25/2009 1:00:45 AM amhealy said: Shame on Sciencedaydreamer. I have ADHD and I became my most cherished dream in life: I'm an attorney. 7/9/2009 8:48:52 PM NotEinstein said: I'm no Einstein but I'm not dumb. I agree with Brian, it is difficult to have ADHD and do sciences and math. Math is something I'm actually very good at, I just hate it because it takes me so long to do the problems (due to having trouble concentrating from boredom). Science I'm good at in theory, but have major problems in lab when I'm forgetful or don't follow the directions correctly and have to restart with no time. I have Bs in science because of that, but that's my passion so I'll keep with it. I hope to encourage anyone that wants to go into science that it's just going to take more time. I have to write up all lab directions in my own wording and make it shorter so I can actually follow it. If you take the time to make those necessary actions that no one else has to do, you may be frustrated but you'll get it done. Follow your dreams no matter what your difficulties are. 7/22/2009 7:25:22 AM Arron said: I have ADHD and I am just finishing my Ph.D. in Biophysics and have a degree in Molecular Medicine and a Degree in Management and Civil Engineering. Science daydreamer is talking rubbish. I take 108mg of Concerta and 200 mg of Modafinil daily to manage my symptoms. Their procrastination is clearly evident in the fact that they wrote that well constructed and articulate paragraph! ADHD makes me a better scientist. I have to work very hard to understand the mathematics but it is possible. I use the jumbled thoughts (which can be a hindrance of you are too weak to control them) as a way to make unusual connections in my minds eye. I see links that normal people just cannot imagine. This takes discipline and training. This person wants to blame their own failings on their condition. Get over yourself. You have the power to change your life - no one else. You are just lazy and looking for an excuse. I didn’t find out I had ADHD until I was 25 and worked in a factory with no GCSEs or formal qualification I am now 31. Please don’t lose hope and believe this crap. Its hard enough as it is without having this in the back of your mind to distract you!
