ADHD??

[cotton]

Somebody said on another website that they think Jim has ADHD. Is this true? He does seem to be very hyper.

What is ADHD? Attention Defecit Disorder? Or some form of dyslexia? You'd be surprised how many people have those diseases. Neither make you stupid or incompetent, it just makes them harder to read or retain knowledge.

ADHD is Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder.

tell me some incidents when he was suffering from ADHD??

He acts like it in some of the talk shows he has been on. 1 Example is the David Letterman interview(The new years eve one) another example is any interview in which he joins the band. I have seen some interviews where he is kind of calm but when he is on talk shows he is hyper. Plus ADHD people often risk their lives and according to some of the things Jim has said in the past it sounds like he does too. Like swimming with sharks and stuff like that.

Jim seems to have an incredible ability to focus. That's the main thing about having ADHD. I don't think Jim actually has ADHD. He may have symptoms of ADHD but he doesn't actually have it.

I'm in the same boat as he is. I suffer from symptoms of it and all, but I haven't been diagnosed with it.

I don't think Jim has a learning disability. ADHD is a learning disability. Jim has always been an attentive learner. He doesn't strike me as one who would have ADHD.

hmmmm..... Thats strange cause I know people who have been diagnosed with it and they don't have learning problems.

I have symptoms of it too, but I always excelled in schoolwork and jobs and such, I think it depends on the person

[thecablegal]

I have some symptoms of it too

Wow, I didn't realize how many actually have this sort of disease. I remember reading about it as well. Robin Williams also suffered or is suffering this disease.

I thought DYSLEXIA was in there somewhere too!
