Anyone else here have ADD or ADHD? How has it effected your videogame playing? Many people with ADD and ADHD have slower reaction times than people without it for example. It also seems to make it hard for me to finish a videogame before moving on to something else.
I just started getting medicated for it for the first time in years and I am hoping it improves my gaming hobby.

Kill yourself you fucking gentic failure

I'm pretty sure I have it. I can barely play vidya now, when I do. It's in short bursts.
I'm playing Zeldork, Breath of the Wolfknot. I played it for a day or so, but I got frustrated trying to find the third and fourth shrines so I dropped it.
Though, about 3 months later, I picked it up again, now I'm getting bored again

Now I'm gonna double down and apply for social security to drain you of your precious tax dollars :^}

Being autistic isn't much better, user

Also, I dropped out of high school. And even had some trouble with continuation school. Fuck me.

Outside of my ADD or got great genes. Literally every one has a few genetic defects. Also ADHD seems to be caused not burn genetics but being pornographic too early or other complications

You mean *by?

Oops, yeah, not burn.

sage

Explain your reasoning.

I got diagnosed when there was a big kick to put kids on amphetemines.
I don't think it has applicated my abilities to progress cognatious thunk.

Shitty mobile phone. Born to early, not pornographic.

You say "but", not " burn".
Well. That's ADD for you hahaha.

Please don't user, if I get another down vote I won't be eligible for reddit gold!

Oh, so it wasn't "but" or "burn", but " born"

Oops.

Ritalin works by burning you out, that shit will have consequences long term. Increased inbalannce in many a way.

Don't trust me though, loot at those side effects and then look for the experiences of long term users.

Should be burrito

Wait, genetics born pornographic too early? That doesn't make sense guy

This. What I do is masturbate to the things I find hottest, exercise until I almost pass out, or lift.
Exercise is amazing at helping you focus.
Too bad I'm garbage at all three.

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

I don't know, user. I discovered porn and masturbation pretty early and I was an ADHD cringefest throughout Middle School.

Hah! I discovered it in elementary. I started masturbating when I was 9. I was also chubby and had a near microdick. I wonder if that's why me penis is so small.. .

I was sexually woke by age 4 or 5. I tried to have sex with girls my age back then but had basically no luck. Didn't discover masturbation until I was 8, but I had a really primitive way of doing it. I'd rub the top of my dick on my belly and it felt pretty good, then when I was 10 I just rubbed it on my lap. Didn't start "fapping" until I was 13. Discovered porn at age 10, stupid little me didn't know how to clear the browser history so my dad found out and gave me a good talking to for an hour and took away my laptop.

I was always hyperactive as shit, but I'm telling you: 5th-9th grade were some crazy fucking times for me. I run down the halls screeching and faking muscle spasms because I thought it was funny.

Cutfags or no?

...

Nope. Uncut, I have hair growing on the shaft. Search "penoscrotal webbing"

Dick fixation strikes again!

may as well be a cutfag

cutfag confirmed :^^)

I plan on trying to get a script for adderall soon. Pretty much just because I like to take it and play Planetside 2 or Starcraft all night and have a really fun fucking time.

Same, I used to scream like a screeching retard monkey when I saw tits on TV. I desperately wanted to fuck, the horny man inside him desperately clawed and wanted to fuck. Link also made me feel funny and may be what enabled my homosexuality other than my first kiss.
I used to hang out with this weird kid named Rickii in middle school, and now he's a trap, he's chubby but has a really nice ass. It's funny that I met him again about 2 years ago, because we had a fall out in middle school. We use to make jokes about this fat chick and called her Godzilla behind her back. Then another friend tiptoed behind her, poked her sides and screamed "GODZILLA!". We laughed so fucking hard. Middle school wasn't perfect, but the memories I have of it are fond ones.
That was just the first year. The middle school got shut down and I had to transfer to another where I met friends from elementary. Then in high school. It went downhill

Le dyslexia face

demotivation=/=ADHD
shit lifestyle=/=ADHD
lack of nutrients=/=ADHD

Please post pics

tl;dr

That's a made up bullshit condition, like being transgender. Your parents failed at discipline and chose to fall for the ADD meme.

You might be autistic but at least you aren't full autismo liketge SU fans

Awful

Speaking of ADHD, what the fuck is up with this fidget spinner bullshit? Toys as some kind of "therapy"?
Do teachers have to let half their class spinning fucking tops during lecture or they'll get triggered to death?

I was a spastic fuck up until high school, then depression set in and I calmed down. I'm doing fine now, but what's been bothering me is my lack of focus. Funnily enough, I had a much easier time getting lost in drawing during the worst period of my life, but now that I'm feeling okay I get distracted extremely easily whenever I try to sit down and draw. Still can't figure out why.
It's not a problem with vidya though, if I have fun I come back to it. Now STARTING a new vidya is another issue.

I don't buy into the whole prescription meds shit. Hasn't helped me, costs too much and I only got side effects from it. You're probably best off ditching them.


Autists love seeing shit spin and it's a dumb fad. It's gonna die out within the year.

They were a toy made for children with attention disorder but I think that the patent expired and now everyone is producing them making it cheaper and more accessible to people without autism

Don't know what SU is but did the kid shout the spoilers outside this guys basement window? If someone posts some shit on the internet and you choose to read it, it's your own fucking fault.

you should stop taking those pills immediately
they aren't good for you, and if you can function without them you should

You aren't ill, you are just a fucking retard who never learned how to concentrate and compensate that with expensive meds. ADD is a made-up disease and its discoverer admitted so on his death bed.

SU is Steven's Universe, a show about alien lesbians trying to convert a little half alien boy into being a flaming homo

Outside of finding it hard to concentrate in school and having to fiddle with something when i'm still for too long, I don't really have any problems. I get some nice uppers though, so it's not that bad.

...

We can literally see that people with ADD have different brain chemistry

So do alcoholics' and smokers'. Doesn't mean you should start chugging expensive drugs on a daily basis.

That reminds me of all those bullshit images saying that Charles Darwin said evolution was a lie on his deathbed

Totally trust worthy. It's not like ADHD is a known disorder or that we understand how it works or anything.

fuck off codemonkey

In the sixties, it was the US psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg who leveraged the clinical picture under a new name. In the evening, he played with his kids at home; at day he treated difficult students - and tried ataractics on them. In the beginning he experimented with dextroamphetamine, later he prescribed methylphenidate for lunch break. And behold: The drugs changed the behavior; sultry children became docile.

During a WHO seminar in 1967, Leonberg [Eisenberg, probably a typo] and his colleague Mike Rutter fought to add the brain disorder as its own disease to the catalogue of psychiatric afflictions [this might have a different English name, not sure]. For the rather psychosomatically embossed physicians, this went too far, but Eisenberg and Rutter didn't give in - and came out on top. In the DSM, the "hyperkinetic reaction of childhood" appeared in 1968 and found a place in it, by now under the common name ADHD.

Thereby, a disease that suited many was planted. The idea that ADHD had genetic causes and was therefore inborn relieved parents. It could not be the fault of parenting if the child did not function as intended. Thus in Germany every elementary school class contains a child with an ADHD diagnosis, statistically speaking. So that Tobemarie and Zappelphilipp [fictional characters who can't hold still, used as a descriptive name in German] become more docile, they receive drugs like Medikinet and Ritalin. This delights the industry: The usage of the contained narcotic Methylphenidate reaches a new peak every year. While in 1993, 34 kilograms were sold in drugstores, it were 1760 kilograms in the last year [2011].

A look at the USA shows that there is still leeway. Every tenth ten year old boy takes ADHD medicine - daily. But of all people the scientific father of ADHD observed the explosion of prescriptions with horror. Leon Eisenberg took over the direction of the renowned Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and became one of the most famous neurologists. In his last interview, seven months before his death from prostate cancer at the age of 87, he distanced himself from his youthful folly.

A large, scraggy man with glasses and suspenders opens the door to his apartment at Harvard Square in 2009, invited to his table and served coffee. He never thought, so he tells, that his invention would become this popular. "ADHD is a prime example of a fabricated disease", Eisenberg said. "The genetic component of ADHD is completely overrated."

Instead, child psychiatrists should investigate the psychosocial reasons that can lead to behavioral disorders, says Eisenberg. Are there fights with the parents, do mother and father live together, are there problems in the family? Questions like these are important, but they take up a lot of time, says Eisenberg and adds with a sigh: "A pill is prescribed more quickly." The ADHD spirits that he called, Eisenberg can lose no more.

I have ADD.

I rarely finish normal games, but I put hundreds of hours into fighting and rhythm games.
