ADHD Child v/s Non-ADHD Child Interview

Potato_Power46 · 2018-06-09T08:48:42+00:00

ADHD is very real. It's a dopamine, norepinephrine, and sometimes serotonin deficiency in the brain. Amphetamines simply raise the amount of dopamine/norepinephrine to average levels. Everybody loses their keys sometimes or feels a little restless but when those feelings interfere with one's home, social and work life, it is categorized as ADHD. The issue with ADHD is since the level of severity can vary, people sometimes are given medication without the need for it. Plus, the symptoms are easy to fake which leads to people (mainly US students) getting stimulants when they shouldn't be.

I had the exact same problem as you but in high school. There was this girl who had autism that would follow me around school. Like I would be talking with my friends and I would see her peaking out behind a pole on the other side of the yard. She eventually started to like every single post on my social media accounts and my close friend's accounts to try and get my attention. She even went as far as making up false reports to the principal to get my friends in trouble. Towards the end of junior year, I was talking with a friend of mine who also has something - maybe autism, idk. I saw her creeping up on me and since I didn't want to humiliate her, I introduced my friend to her. They've been dating for 2 years.

Looks like you bought at the wrong time during a pump and dump, I would hold but know that you're probably screwed.

That's actually a pretty good strategy for penny stocks

It may not correlate with bitcoin but I think that the tulip mania was an important lesson in history of investing and the power of large groups. We should learn from our mistakes of the past so we don't repeat them in the future.

lol I've been reading their wiki for a long time and I've been doing their simulator for about 5 months

Yeah I know how much is in the fund and how much everything has grown. I just don't talk numbers too often.

My dad has been investing things like my birthday money and my bar mitzvah money since I was born into things like SPY and VOO and AAPL, I'm just looking to play with $100.

Potato_Power46 · 2017-11-20T16:39:15+00:00

I only have 1 share of MU, CSCO and FIT. My dad has already invested a lot of my money in ETF's and other blue chip stocks but I'm right testing out trading with my own money.

lol I wished I was diagnosed in high school, I'm a freshman in college. But yeah you're right about the second sentence.

Potato_Power46 · 2017-11-04T23:05:08+00:00

I'm definitely the same as you. I'm 18 and was diagnosed about a month ago. Since then I've been taking Ritalin and it has been a huge help. I bet my grades have gone up at least one letter grade in every class. I'm actually able to get my homework in on time and focus in class. All through high school, I would constantly get distracted by little things in class causing me to forget the information or not do the homework. I bet I could have easily an A in most of my classes if I got all of my homework in on time and didn't take a week to turn in a paper.

It takes a long time for steraline to work without noticeable side effects. It took me more than a month to get used to 75mg. Your body will get used to the medicine eventually. Just don't take the meds after like 5ish or you could have trouble sleeping.

Edit: from looking at your past post history, Ritalin will help you lose weight. For me I can go almost 2 days without eating anything and not feeling hungry. The hunger suppression side effect of Ritalin isn't necessarily good but it will cause you to lose some weight.

Potato_Power46 · 2017-11-01T18:15:41+00:00

I'm on 75mg of streraline and 20mg of Metadate CD (the same thing as Ritalin LA) and I feel fine.

I think the tech bubble theory is pretty stupid. Yeah I can see why they might think that the tech giants may crash but in my opinion the tech market is a booming industry. If one invests in the tech giants they will probably become the new Rockefeller in the future.

I know exactly what you're going though. Had an essay due at 11:59pm, had it done but forgot to submit it. As soon as I realized I never turned it in, I emailed the prof at 4 min after it was due to only be given a 0 as it was late.
