I can’t even tell you how excited I am to bring you this podcast. Ok, to be honest, every podcast is pretty exciting for me, but this one is really something special in my mind. Dave Warlick, the same person who has brought you tools likeCitation Machine, PiNet Library, and Blogmeister, agreed to do a joint podcast with me about something quite personal that we have in common; we are both adults that have been diagnosed with ADD. There is a stigma attached to ADD. It is by many to be an affliction, or a disability. Parents whose children have been diagnosed as ADD are often concerned about the impact it will have on their education and future endeavors in life.
In this podcast, Dave and I provide our own thoughts on the matter. We discuss our own personal experiences and attempt to shed some light on the situation that ADD children face in traditional public schools. It may sound a bit biased, but keep in mind that the thoughts and ideas being expressed in this podcast are coming from two people who have had a lifetime of experience with it.
I hope that you enjoy this podcast. It was certainly a pleasure creating it. And I’d like to publicly thank Dave Warlick for participating in this discussion with me. I look forward to the day when we actually meet face to face and I have the opportunity to shake your hand and thank you in person!
Enjoy the show!

Wonderful show! As someone who has lived with ADD for many years, I found myself nodding along to many parts of your show (as I also browsed websites and otherwise multitasked at work!). I think the multitasking of searching and reading while listening to podcasts is one of the things that I like most about the concept.
Thanks for the comments on meds to “assist with” but not “cure” this condition. I love the way I think…like David said, “random thinking” can be powerful for finding different solutions. More on this can be found in a Wired article on Asperger’s Syndrome (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers.html).
Again, great collaboration!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for pointing out that article to me. I haven’t seen that one before.
