Speaking on a Panel
Feb 12, 2012 - 1:29 AM - by pooka

Feb 10, 2012 - 5:34 PM - by Eilert
One of Dr. Russel Barkley's main points seems to be that ADHD is an inhibition-problem. Is this really how ADHD works? It seems that the core problem in ADHD is not that one is forced off the track by distractions. But instead that the track is hardly visible.

If one doesn't feel the track, any other track feels equally meaningful.
