Music or NPR a must I find it bothers a lot of people .

@Wisterious With ADHD and strabismiss a vision disorder prevent me from being an effective reader . NPR news and ideas especially on week ends Moth radio hour hidden brain among many others .

@Wisterious What bothered me the most was I did very good on aptitude tests up in the high 90s with mechanical and spatial relations so they always thought I was lazy . I was in remedial reading every year except 12 grade when they put me in speed reading which was a joke when the put on the reading machine . My mom took me to reading specialists at Hoffstra college weekly during third grade . I graduated high school with a 9th grd reading level . I went to Methodist college in NC where I was kicked out for admitting to the dean to having smoked pot with another student who was busted that day . Now here's the kicker . 4 yrs later I went back to school , married with child working nights and days that I didn't have class , smoking pot before every class and every test , I was a A-B student deans list and one year Phi Beta Kapa compared to C-D student in high school . It took care of the ADHD It was a community college and something that I was interested in , Marine Tech . I took a writing class where half the grade was class parceptation being a introvert I never uttered a word in class . I would get an assignment , smoking a unfinished joint on the way home I'd have my idea for what I was going to write . I'd turn in the paper get it back rewrite it turn it back in and do the same several times for every assignment . At the end of the course when the professor was interviewing me as to grade me , He said you haven't said a word all semester , but you've worked so hard and then asked if all the papers were all my Ideas Yes they were . and said I have to give you an A .It really boosted my self esteem . ADHD was unknown at the time , 20 yrs later , a friend of mine was describing his sons behavior and I said that's just how I was , and even said it seemed like he did better when he was smoking pot . Bingo . We had just gotten a computer and read about a woman was treating her son's ADHD with pot and was being prosecuted for it . Now I'm not saying people should be giving pot to their ADHD kids but there's something to it that should be studied . After all they give them adderel which is a time release amphetamine . I've been a 24/7 marijuana user sense I was kicked out of college . Mostly working self employed with more work than I wanted and still working at 69 yrs because I enjoy it . At present time I'm not using because I've developed CHP which is canabinoid hypermensis ( sp )where I have pretty bad abdominal pains and have to detox for a month . Before they knew what that was , they took out my gall bladder but that didn't help . All in all I've had a good career and life Tonging clams on Long Island for 13 yrs boat carpentry for the remainder and that's my story , happy , introverted and ADHD .

@Wisterious I would try the CBD if I was you a lot of people swear by it for many ailments .The human nervous system has cannabinoid receptors for a reason . I don't because it would aggravate my CHS and I prefer the THC which relaxes me ,increases my awareness and creativity also helps me sleep when the gears are turning in my head

@Wisterious If you do , take it easy don't take edibles until you know what how you react to it , smoking and vaping you get immediate results , edibles take a hour or so and last much longer . Some people get paranoid or anxious , most others laugh a lot and zone out at the wonders of the world . Best not to do alone first time . You really do like to writ a lot .

@Wisterious It depends on the situation and the people involved. Hence the duality...

@Wisterious It took awhile to get use to working the correct way in a band and since it was my career l needed to get it right and learn to enjoy that part of it. Other than that l have never been in a group effort, and there have not been many, that l did not dislike very, very much. I can work with one or two people at a time if l really like them. I probably picked that up learning to work in bands.

@Wisterious I'm autistic. (Asperger's) I have no innate social awareness. I need to learn rules.

@Wisterious I usually refer to myself as an "asparagus". That's a tasty version of Asperger's!

Same here

Yes it does
