Hmmm, lots of good thoughts. Well, for me at least I respected my mother (single mom) without needing to be punished because part of her parenting style was making sure that I knew she was doing certain things with my best interest at heart. Sensitive people need to know certain things and have the support, but if neither parent has a similar behavioral profile they are most likely not going to understand how to deal with it. I am getting tested for broad spectrum disorders, due to the fact that it might be autism or something rather than ADHD. Things just overlap too much to make a definite distinction, but I am working on a differential diagnosis by using medications and seeing which neurotransmitters (or types) are involved. This requires a bit of research on method of action of the drugs and intuition at times. Of course, none of the doctors in this field try to do it systematically like that, they just experiment and take the first "acceptable" drug. There needs to be an improved treatment standard on the medical establishment since most people who have these range of problems don't have the skill/patience to research and control their medications in this way. I totally support home schooling these days, as long as the parent has their s--- together. For this reason, I tend to believe that couples who need double income to survive aren't financially ready for kids - someone needs to take the time to educate them because the school sure isn't doing a good job. It's a delicate balance with "different" children especially to discipline but show the support. I know that personally I can't handle a child, probably ever (due to my own struggles), so I had an operation to eliminate that possibility. There are other reasons of course, but most kids aren't as lucky as I have been, and I wouldn't want to have a child that then suffers due to a disability. Later in life I can always adopt if I so choose, but not until I would stop expecting to make my child "as smart as me" because that's too much of a burden; children must become their own adults. I know I am not mature enough to do this, so I have prevented an accident from occuring.
All these exotic diseases are being used by liberals to excuse all types of deviant behavior. In the good old days, a kid went off the rocker, you took off your belt and gave him a good spanking. Problem solved. These days, a mass murderer is put to hang. Liberals start raising hell saying the murderer has mental issues. In the good old days, we hanged them and other deviants with "mental issues" never dared repeat the same crimes. A child-molester gets convicted for raping kids, liberals whine about how the rapist was abused as a child. In the good old days, the rapist was hanged. Other deviants learned not to repeat the offense. All these exotic diseases are cropping up because society has become pussified. These exotic diseases are convenient excuses to justify aberrant proclivities.

I understand that, but people with mood disorders are typically anxious/insecure most of the time; thinking independently is more difficult when you have doubts about your own thought process and its validity because of this, which makes it difficult to be around other people at times. I know that I can easily be wrong about something, but having people question it constantly has made me stop discussing most things with most people unless I am in the mood to reprocess/reconsider something. My non-linear process is difficult at best to explain to people, and it's like comparing apples to oranges in terms of its logic. Others who understand my process see the relationships and make more productive statements to criticize it.
Thanks for the clarification. --------------------- I know that I can easily be wrong about something, but having people question it constantly has made me stop discussing most things with most people unless I am in the mood to reprocess/reconsider something. -------------- This must be frustrating. Interesting comment re having doubts about your thought process. Since I have chosen to study the markets, I actually embrace the challenge of changing my thought process. Granted it may not be the same thing but in the past I enjoyed a certain amount of confidence in my thought process but each time we do something new there is always the learning curve.
binary,your here for 80 years maybe, more or less,thats a spec of the human historical lineage, the only difference your going to make, lest your einstien and a few others,is with the people you touch,trust that god gave you a few gifts and share them with whomever comes along and leave it in his hands,he's the judge ,not you or your neighbor,i always have 2 of me,one down in front and one seeing things thru his eyes,trust his omnipresence,and free yourself of the burden of judging and being judged,80 years is not a long time,but to many it's too long to get the hang of it,thruout history there have only been a few notable world changers,you might be one ,he'll make that happen if thats his plan,you need to stop the backseat driving and enjoy the scenery
In reality kids have really easy life nowadays. "Howard Dully was just a typical, difficult kid â oversized and ungainly in his movements, messy in his habits, rambunctious with his brothers, a misbehaving clown at school, and in constant conflict with his parents. But Howard wasnât grounded or sent to private school. Howard was sent to see Dr. Walter Freeman, the neurologist who invented the âice-pickâ lobotomy. Two weeks after his 12th birthday, Howard became one of Freemanâs youngest patients. Abandoned by his family after the surgery, Howard spent his teen years in mental institutions, his twenties in jail, and his thirties in the bottle. It wasnât until he was in his forties that Howard began to pull his life together. But even as he began to live the ânormalâ life he had been denied, Howard struggled with one question: Why?" http://www.charlesfleming.com/work1.htm
