My Top Ten Books List

My Top Ten Books List
on: October 9, 2007 by: Bryan Hutchinson 2 Comments ...

Many of you have written me asking which books I have found to be the most helpful in dealing with my ADD ADHD. And some of you have been extremely surprised when I respond and give up my list. The usual response is the question “Why not more ADD ADHD specific books?” –The answer is simple: I haven’t read too many ADD ADHD books which I have found to be useful, not yet anyway and to be quite honest, I haven’t really read that many or I have started and never picked them up again and it’s usually because I simply can’t get through them. I have only read 1 ADD ADHD book from cover to cover and it is listed here. I learn best from stories, life stories and experiences and I suspect this is the same for most of us Adders and that’s the reason I wrote my […]

Oct 2007 Hello everyone and welcome to Adder World, it is a fine Sunday morning and the sun is shining brightly outside—at least in this part of the world. Yesterday my wife and I had a unique and wonderful day in Frankfurt, Frankfurt Germany! We went to Frankfurt for a reason, a very special reason and I am going to tell you a little about that and I am going to tell you of a few things we discovered in Frankfurt which related perfectly to my Adder nature and how things just seemed to happen that I wanted to happen, but I wasn’t really thinking of happening—at least not in Frankfurt Germany. Ah, the Law of Attraction with Positive Thinking and the Power of Optimism does incredible things and it works. If you have been reading my Blog, then you know what I am talking about. This is going to […]

It is amazing what 20 or 30 years can do! When I was a kid ADD ADHD was relatively unknown to the common populace. There is an ever growing awareness of ADD ADHD and studies are finding many children and adults are going undiagnosed.

Positive ADDer Quote of the week

Positive ADDer Quote of the week

     _______    “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill Winston Churchill is one of the greatest men to have lived in the last century and he persevered through great personal difficulties and low self esteem—which was often described as an ‘ego’ problem that made him appear overly secure. Winston Churchill is also considered to have suffered from ADD ADHD; however, his diagnosis at the time of his life was lisp (speech problem) and later also thought to be cluttering (speech/communication disorder). With the information we have today

Sometimes it’s for our own good

Sometimes it’s for our own good

   I knew I would have to get around to this article and I have tried to put it off as long as possible. This article is about doing things that others ask of us or rules we must follow: compliance, conformity and obeying. I tell you what, and I think (“I think”) I speak for all of us when I say; we Adders detest those 3 words! Okay, maybe detest is a strong word, but the emotions we feel when we must comply, conform and obey are strongly distasteful—they even have a nasty aftertaste that lasts for days! We Adders

Hyper focusing is the most profound advantage of ADD ADHD

Hyper focusing is the most profound advantage of ADD ADHD
on: October 1, 2007 by: Bryan Hutchinson 3 Comments ...

In my last article I presented my thoughts on why we miss subtle human communication cues and promised to talk about why we are so wickedly intelligent, intuitive and just understand certain things in an astonishingly perceptive way.  I don’t claim to be a scientist or a doctor of any sort, but from experience and a bit of research the answers seem obvious to me: Our ability to hyper focus gives us a profound advantage over those without ADD ADHD…
