November has come 🐈

[Russell Barkley, PhD @DrB4ADHD]

Putting skill training ahead of taking medication for ADHD is not as virtuous or effective as advocates contend. Let's see another reason why in Part 3 of this 4-part series.

This is part 2 of a 4-part series examining why teaching skills vs. taking pills is not a helpful distinction.

You think ADHD is just procrastinating things you don’t wanna do?

Well, guess what?

I PROCRASTINATE THINGS I *DO* WANNA DO

[Russell Barkley, PhD @DrB4ADHD]

In this final post of my 4-part series, I continue discussing the false distinction between teaching skills vs. taking pills for managing ADHD.

NEUROLOGY BABY 🧠🔥

@Gspathway Didn't get to look into it, but I assume they exhibit the neurological features of ADHD and autism...
Like ADHD rats have a smaller prefrontal cortex and ASD rats neural pruning is less than average? 😬

上腕二頭筋は、回内の状態で伸び、回外の状態で収縮します。自分の腕で試してみると面白いです。

@Gspathway I know what my afternoon is going to look like

[Abdul-Rahman AL-Atawi @AtawiAbdul]

@Gspathway صح!؟
It's always been funny to me when I read something about ADHD rats or autistic rats experiments 😭😭
I mean I kinda get asd rats
But how are they deferentiating between neurotypical rats and ADHD rats it's crazy XD
also do they breed them or test random rats

Here are some rapid fire answers for ADHD!

[Russell Barkley, PhD @DrB4ADHD]

YouTube CHANNEL HIJACKED AND DELETED!

On Thursday evening of October 22nd, my Gmail account was stolen through an act of fraud that then blocked me from access to the account and my channel. Very soon thereafter, my YouTube channel of more than 500 videos and 230,000 subscribers was corrupted, taking down the entire library of my videos on ADHD and replacing them with football streams. This lead the YouTube algorithm to automatically take down the site due to copyright and other violations. The channel has since been deleted. This destructive action by a technically sophisticated band of hackers appears to be the work of people who oppose science based views on ADHD and want to cancel public access to such information. I have had to deal with these sorts of attacks periodically throughout my career, especially as I rose to prominence. Such attacks come not just from social critics of ADHD and of my work, etc., but especially those aligned with Scientology and like minded people. It will take awhile to get YouTube to repair the damage and restore the channel. Know that I am working with their support team to try and restore the original channel and content.

Meanwhile, as a back up for my video library, I have begun posting these videos at Facebook, X, and TikTok and other platforms so as to have alternative locations for this value archive of ADHD content. In doing so, I hope to thwart future efforts at cancelling of access to science based content on ADHD. Expect daily postings of videos here. I hope you find them informative.

Thank you.

Now that October has ended, I hope we keep educating ourselves and advocating for understanding, not just of ADHD, but of other misunderstood conditions.

I’ll keep adding to this thread, and I hope you’ll revisit it to learn about a disorder whose impact is often underestimated.
