Sharing my story for the first time

First of all, I just want to mention how cool it is that any member of the site can contribute to this blog. Moving on though, although I haven't yet met most of you, my YouTube video about ADD (apparently now called ADHD with different predominances, but I can't keep up,) was posted here a few months ago. I paid a quick visit and read the incredibly kind comments you had left, but didn't join until recently. That's because, and perhaps some of you can relate, my diagnosis has always been…See More

AJ Ginther commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"This is great stuff. I can totally relate to the simultaneous arrogance and inferiority complex. I had an ex girlfriend who mistakenly insisted that I was a pathological Narcissist (it's not even close to true) But I can see how she made that…"

Dr Charles Parker commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Ashley, Your consternation about what-to-call-it is shared by so many who simply disdain being locked down in to a diagnosis that derives from appearances, not brain function, as Carol so correctly documented. No one wants to be labeled, reduced to…"

Bryan Hutchinson commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Well said and put together Carol, I enjoyed reading. The ultimate fact of the matter is that ADHD is a diagnosed disorder and no 'professional', even a teacher, professor, has the right to second guess or even, alternatively diagnose.…"

Candy commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Ashley, I am amazed you are so willing to share your deep insights, accompanied by the obvious pain experienced living with ADHD/ADD in your school years and beyond. It is neither psychosomatic nor a personality flaw, but a documented…"

Bryan Hutchinson commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Hi Ashley, Thanks for sharing your story with us. I absolutely enjoy your style of writing – the flow, the common sense approach and finally, the way you articulate so clearly and smartly. Let me start by saying that you do not merely seem…"

Ashley Carey commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Riri, I agree totally! My boyfriend was just teaching me something about programming, and he couldn't understand that I need to be holding the keyboard to learn, haha =) I suppose its not so easy for those who have never experienced it to…"

Riri commented on Ashley Carey's blog post Sharing my story for the first time

"Oh, God! There's still another disorder? What was that again? Academic disorder what? Seems like people keep on inventing and trying to name every single difficulty down to the tiniest one (eerr...do you understand what I mean?). While I agree…"

Ashley Carey replied to DressyFemme's discussion ADHD and Unemployment Survival

"I havent been working a steady job for a while, but I just insisted my way into a marketing internship I managed to turn into a paid job, and with the help of my Adderall XR, I am able to be a lot more pushy and insistent than usual and do…"

Ashley Carey replied to Dana Arcuri's discussion DO YOU EXPERIENCE REBOUND EFFECT ON MEDS?

"With Adderall XR, the medicine is effective for a solid twelve hours, but there is a small time right in the middle of that where I, too, feel the same rebound effects. I am suddenly a very unpleasant person to be around, and I have to ask myself…"

Ashley Carey replied to Zoe's discussion Playing a musical instrument with ADHD

"I think thats great. I play a lot of instruments, but none of them at a mastery level, because I cant seem to finish learning one without moving to the next, haha. I took piano lessons for a combined three years, french horn lessons for six years,…"

Profile Information

About me & Relation to ADHD?: I have been diagnosed with ADHD since I was seven years old, but only began taking medication at the end of high school, by choice. I am currently struggling to complete an associates degree, but I hope to one day have a masters degree in one of my many intense fields of interest.

I made this video about my struggle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rybVzoKOwWA

I am so glad to learn that its helped so many of you. It was really a blessing to find this site and the wonderful things people were saying after facing a lot of criticism and insults for uploading the video. Ive finally found my people!

I like to be goofy and entertaining, and I want to do 100 different things for a living.

You have some great ones that can relate very well to our discussions and the way many members feel. In August NING will be taking away the video upload capability, unless I pay an insane rate (which I won't be doing right away). I will still be able to put videos up in certain ways, but for general uploading that won't be possible anymore. Just wanted to give you a head's up because you have some great videos out there.

Have a fantastic day!
