    A very nice hour lecture about current concepts in ADHD. First topic is a nice discription of 'What is working memory?' about 10 minutes in.

    I watched the first part of this the other day but didn't get a chance to post a comment. It is really good, the part I saw. It's also nice to see that a real effort is being made to define what adhd truly is. Very interesting!

    I liked the idea that ADHD kids aren't percieving the world differently than ND kids. I know that my DS was taking in lots more information from the environment and that the information was making lots and lots of connections inside his mind. I wonder if this is why little gifties are often misdiagnosed.

    I am no "doctor", but I think this is a BIG reason they do!
