Aims, from way back
Although some of it might be mitigated if the parents used any sort of discipline at home. From an outsider's perspective, that is.
ODD makes discipline in the traditional sense counterproductive.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A while ago the Post magazine had an article about women with ADD - I kind of skimmed it, didn't think about it much. Yesterday, they had two letters in response: one from a woman with ADD saying that they didn't give women much hope, that there was no information about the kinds of resources available; the second from a woman who's seen children with ADD/ADHD and commenting that they eat huge amounts of sugar and watch a lot of TV and why can't that be considered as a factor.

Study: Diet May Help ADHD Kids More Than Drugs
According to Pelsser, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Researchers determined that by starting kids on a very elaborate diet, then restricting it over a few weeks' time.

Thrive to spite them
I have a job interview tomorrow. It's a part time receptionist position at a vet's office and it's not full time, but it's here in town which is a big help.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
According to Pelsser, 64 percent of children diagnosed with ADHD are actually experiencing a hypersensitivity to food. Researchers determined that by starting kids on a very elaborate diet, then restricting it over a few weeks' time.
My gluten-intolerant gut is intrigued.
Although I question the methodology of a "double-blind" study whose treatment is diet, where one group is on a severely restricted diet and the other can eat more or less whatever they want (although, yes, they were counseled on healthy eating; still not the same thing as saying "Here are 8 things you can eat for the next 5 weeks"). Because I think the double-blindedness is shot to hell on day 1, when the group that can only eat 8 things figures out they're probably the treatment group.
The study group was very small, too, so I take those results with a grain of salt. Assuming salt doesn't cause ADD.
