Great and lamentable inventory. I’ve never been diagnosed with adhd. When I was 8 or 10 my folks took me to the university of Miami for some testing. This was light years ago before adhd was even a thing. As was the norm back in those late fifties early sixties my parents never explained why I took all those tests. I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t add it up. We were there taking weird tests because I was the chronic clunker. I knew that. All the things you described about yourself Sean, well slap my name under them too.
There were no drugs back then. Zero. Cylert for you surprised me as many years ago American or nazi pilots were given it to stay alert on attack runs,. Jesus.
Someone read stuff on hdhd and assured me I have it in spades! Still, at73. How’s that work?
Good thing is it seems like you’ve done ok Sean, more than ok and this deserves a resounding bravo. As a social scientist and human analyses you should take solace from the huge fact that through your writing you have favorably influenced countless. Be glad my friend.
Now if you could just explain to me how I might be accepted into the damn Partner Program. I’m both Guatemalan and Irish. Citizen of both. As a Guat person medium will not pay me pennies ever. Someone said with my Irish I could get an account in the US through WISE, (like PayPal?), plus I’d need to submit a w-8 tax form. But as I’m an old fart I haven’t the first clue how to go about this.
I mean I need to think of my last chapter and a few extra dollars would be so important to me.
Are you aware of a service who could for a fee do this for me?
Tom
