It's unfortunate how ADHD (misleading name), known since the late 1770's and the most researched disorder, yet this Executive Function Deficit Disorder, a better name suggested by Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D., is one of the most misunderstood ones.

Not only by the general public, but by a large portion of the medical profession itself and, very unfortunately, by the education sector as a whole.

While the caffeine and D-Amp are kicking in, can we all commit to reining in the constant feedback nagging that is infecting all software in the past few years?

People's time & attention are precious, often as much or more as their money, especially #EFDD folks. If you desperately want feedback, please keep in mind that you are setting yourself up to be ignored, told off, or worse unless you are more respectful of your users' time.

You do not need to prompt for feedback on every interaction.

Re-watching Dr Russel A. Barkley's excellent UNC Learning Center presentation makes me hope we can move past ADHD as the misnomer for EFDD: executive functioning dysregulation disorder: https://youtu.be/NUQu-OPrzUc?t=138

It is not an *attention deficit* disorder.

His interview on the Ologies podcast made the rounds earlier this year. It's staggering to me how much knowledge & research about this disorder he manages to disperse so clearly.

Postie just delivered this trash from the EFDD.

I'd be making the two fingered salute the other way round.
