It's worth a shot. It's not a cure and takes conscious effort to apply, but it does help, for me at least. I still have the behavioral issues, basic self-care, being on time, ect. But I work on those everyday, but I work in international freight and processing shipping documents is incredibly boring and repetitive. But I was the top performer because I was able to apply the concentration techniques I learned during nerofeedback, it took some trial and error, but eventually I found podcasts and audiobooks helped distract the busy part of my brain just enough to let me focus on my work.

Best of luck, and feel free to ask any questions if you have any.

I could see that. My doctor was against using meds until other methods were tried so I didn't have the parental fear of medication. He actually got my mom's permission to use me in the neurofeedback study for ADHD that helped the practice become accepted. Neurofeedback was a lifesaver for me, thanks to that I've never had to take any meds. Obviously results vary and others may not have the same results but I always recommend it when someone says their kid has ADHD or ADD.

What gets me is this claim that Russia or China is going to take the island. First of all the U.S. has the strongest military in the world, stealth bombers that still can't be caught, the largest Navy, the best logistics, and you know all those nukes. Add to that the fact that we're (at the time of writing) a member of NATO and if Greenland was attacked by Russia or China it wouldn't be just the U.S. it would also be all NATO members. The whole argument is just a dumb as the mouth they're coming out of.

And yes I know it's really about controlling future sea lanes, drilling for under sea oil, and mining minerals.... and satisfying, maybe for a day, trump's greed.

It's been a while since I saw the interview but Malcom Nance said something along the lines of, I'm not saying trump is a Russian asset, but he sure is doing everything a Russian asset would do.

and it gets conservative panties in a wad.

No need to single out Lindsey Graham, I'm sure it upsets all the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" snowflakes.

I really hope the coming crash (stock, lending, the dollar, ect.) wipes them out, since most are rich only on paper.

Actually we're long overdue, the time to dismantle the DHS was the same day it was created.

That's not a European Union, this is a European Union.

I know it's not totally accurate but this got an audible laugh out of me.

TIL, I always knew it had something to do with farming but a little digging revealed that it was to allow farmers to extend their work day and to conserve fuel during WW1.

Well it's been over 100 years since that war ended, I think we can safely remove daylight savings time now. I doubt Franz Ferdinand is going to be on any tours and I think The Kaiser is no longer a threat.

That sucks, I didn't realize how lucky I was to have a parent who accepted the diagnosis and worked to help me. Sorry it was so ruff for you.
