Dr. Ned Hallowell on The Jane Pauley Show today

Did anyone see it? As much as I know and live ADD, I was glued to the screen. Dr. H has been taking a dfferent spin on ADD, showing how it's not all doom and gloom. That's not to say that living with ADD is a bed of roses for many, but I like what he has to say, ie that with the right kind of treatment, one can access one's gifts and creativity. I agree with him when he says that most people with ADD are creative.

The research doesn't show this (has it even been done?), but I sure see it in my work with adults. It's like they are drowning in creative ideas! With the right supports, those ideas and dreams can come to fruition.

This was probably the best show I've seen on ADD. No sensationalism. No devil's advocate. Just plain ol' good information and a positive message. What a breath of fresh air! You can get Ned's new book, Delivered From Distraction HERE.

Later,

Terry

Have to ditto your comments on Dr. Hallowells appearance .
It was a great insight to the positive side of ADD- the guests were also insperational.
This was a great counterpoint to the "Dr." Phil types!

Should be required viewing for all educators- spouses -and employers of ADD ers!

I did not see the show but talk about it has been furiously doing the rounds of the ADHD community. You make a good point about how nice it is to see some positive stories about people with ADHD. I've been feeling weird for years since I both have ADHD and successful relationships/career.

I really need a copy of Jane Pauley's program on ADD of Feb. 15th! The Pauley Web site didn't reply to my request. Any info would be deeply appreciated.

Hi Bruce,

have heard from many others who have been trying to get a copy of that show but to no avail. They said that the Jane Pauley Show does not offer copies of it. My only suggestion would be to either go to eBay and see if anyone is selling it there, or post on the various ADD bulletin boards to see if anyone taped it and would be willing to send you a copy.

My forums are at www.addconsults.com/forum

Regards,
Terry
