I have autism and ADHD ------- and dyslexia ( not a problem within IT ).
I have started retaking coffee ( caffeine ) again to see if that helps the ADHD. Might make no difference.
have u any tips on controling add/adhd ?
Hi to be honest I don’t know. I have ADD, I practiced meditation for 30 years. I was informed it is not in itself concentration but that it would help develop concentration. It has been useful and good in ways but my ADD is still the same. Some say that types of medication can help.
yes thats the one things i found very useful --- i do a range of meditations
walking (25% of my meditation time approx)
breath counting (35%)
thought labelling (20%)
mantra(15%)
focusing on an object ( "candle staring" ) 5%
what do u use ? just curious.
we have a lot in common i read Zen ( where mindfulness comes from ) stuff everyday and recognise everything you just said.
The last sentence is me for sure.
"still learning still not getting it right" but i am continuing on my path where ever it takes me
It has mostly been mindfulness. I have practiced all kinds of stuff though: breath counting, visualisation, focus on stuff gradually taking into account all of its form, edges, light and texture etc. I live by nature so walk each day. I can focus on a twig up in a tree then expand to more of the twig then it connecting to its branch and many more twigs etc. I once did path-working where you visualise walking in made up scenery. Also Buddhist stuff where you focus and realise how all is co-dependent and linked to causation. As well stuff like burning pieces of newspaper while focusing on it to realise impermanence. As well in the 80s I had experiences of oneness of stuff which made me value life in all its forms more. Even so called mind and matter were not separate. I am still learning though and still a naughty boy sometimes.
