Joan Hutchinson replied to DANA's discussion 'BYE BYE BARBIE!' in the group GIRLY GIRLS BEAUTY GUIDE

I had several Barbies when I was little. In fact the first Barbie I received was Ballarina Barbie that I received after a ballet recital in a bouquet of roses. The doll was a gift and a celebration of my dancing accomplishiments at the time. From ...

Profile Information

About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?

My husband, Bryan, has ADHD. He is an exciting, caring and brilliant human being who never rests and is always striving to do more for the ADHD community. At times it is overwhelming to keep up with him and his ADHD, but to have someone who cares so deeply for others, especially me, is worth so much more than I have ever had from a companion. I used to have another opinion of ADHD before I met Bryan and knowing him, his sensitivities, his insights and his passion has made me realize how special ADHD really is. So many suffer and yet they have so much to offer.

Attention Deficits That May Linger Well Past Childhood
By ALIYAH BARUCHIN
In Brief:

A November 2007 M.R.I. brain-imaging study showed an average three-year lag in a brain maturation process in children with A.D.H.D.

Affected areas of the brain are involved in executive functions like focus, attention, working memory and control of movement.

Despite much evidence for A.D.H.D.’s biological basis, a current of skepticism about whether it is actually a valid medical condition persists.

Dream on Commander Mart

Dream on Commander Mart
Flow into a violet cloud of calm
Seal off from the universe constantly
Clicking on off on into mind, into senses
Firing crimson streams of chaos, burst…still
Breathe, hold lowered eyes, shut out flashpoint orange noise
Smooth the sine waves slithering neon between ears,
Tangling behind a pensive, cool yellow stare…still
Breathe, let them recede into lush azure vibrations,
Gently enliven imagination… still
Dream on Commander Mart
Fly to your felicitous emerald world
Sown w… Continue

Magical Mystery Tour

Magical Mystery Tour, Life with my ADD ADHD partner

Life with my ADDer

By: Joan F. Hutchinson

Itʼs definitely like being on a magical mystery tour when you live with a person who has undiagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD. ADDers like Bryan desire constant excitement, positive reinforcement, and acceptance for their extraordinary talents as well as their limitations. At first living with Bryan was both scary and exhilarating; it felt like driving at high speed into a glistening, dense… Continue

I'm also a French author who's writing a book about the good sides of ADHD and I'm particularly searching testimonies from people who can see the positive traits of ADHD in their life. So, if you are interested to share your experience with my future readers, please contact me to my personal address :

I’ve been using the player more than I thought and need tunes for the most part with the same tempo as my mind. It’s very nice to meet you. Bryans a lucky man to have a wife with such an exquisite taste in music. Ramstein is hard core! I always have a soundtrack playing in my head. (sometimes it’s Dora though LOL. Swiper no swiping!) Hate TV really.
