@alice @autistics Another thing that leads me to take a second look at formal diagnosis of #autism is that the recognized experts on #ADHD — #Barkley, #Hallowell, #Ratey — appear to be spectacularly clueless about autism. And I absolutely DO want formal diagnosis of my ADHD, since it's the only […]
I've returned safely from a virtual diorama of #extravert hell — otherwise known as Chapter 4 of "ADHD 2.0" (#Hallowell and #Ratey 2021). Its title is "The Healing Power of Connection", and it's even worse than that title makes it sound to #introvert ears. I had already decried the […]
@autistics Until I read "ADHD 2.0", I would not have expected that #ADHD would predispose someone to #depression; still less, that the concomitant presence of ADHD would be an indication for a different approach to treating depression than the #CBT used in neurotypicals. But now that Hallowell […]
I've now finished Chapter 2 of "ADHD 2.0" (#Hallowell and #Ratey 2021). I've had some hard things to say about this book so far: its #extranormativity, its tone of pontificating certainty, its overconfident reliance on dubious #fMRI findings, the appalling glimpse of support for #ABA in a […]
I'm now starting Chapter 2 of "ADHD 2.0" (#Hallowell and #Ratey 2021). This is the one where they introduce the supposed neurological underpinnings of #ADHD. I'm noticing a jarring contrast of tone between this book and the autism literature I've read so far, such as Wenn #Lawson's "The […]
Starting to read "ADHD 2.0" (#Hallowell and #Ratey 2021). At first it seemed perfect, a real breath of fresh air after "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" (2nd edition, #Barkley 2022). Both authors of "ADHD 2.0" are ADHDers themselves. There was great emphasis on the positive potential of #ADHD — […]

I went to Hallowell to watch the sturgeons jump out of the water (no one knows why I guess) on their way to/from spawn. A burgeon of sturgeons. #hallowell #maine
