  • Not really, though. Rigid structure helps with ADHD, but only when someone else is enforcing the structure. Prepubescent kids with ADHD aren’t typically capable of maintaining their own structure. They aren’t neurotypical, it’s more than distraction and energy, they have a functioning issue. They can’t tune out all the stimulus that normal brains do, and because of it they miss a lot of social cues that help with development.

    My son has ADHD and no amount of reorienting our family environment would help him - he could (and has) literally be in a bare concrete room with nothing but his thoughts and get distracted and slam his hands together making exploding/punching sounds for hours, where a typical kid would get bored in seconds.


  • I’ve been out of town for the last 4 days, so I didn’t get much reading in. I did finish reading All These Worlds by Dennis Taylor however. I’ve also read about 50% through the 4th and final book in the series Heaven’s River. This one is quite a bit different as it focuses more on the personality of the main character and forces some self-reflection on ‘him’ and his clones.

    I was also able to finish listening to:
    [Audio] The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, narrated by Martin Freeman. It ended so abruptly, and didn’t really seem to have an overall plot, it just sort of meandered until the auther was like ‘Alright, I’mma head out’… I’m not sure I liked this one, honestly. There was a lot of abruptly stopping the story progression to examine some random topic in detail.
