ADHD/ADD

ADHD/ADD is generally thought of as a medical condition (illness or defect) that requires chemical intervention to control.

But what if ADHD/ADD was a response to wildly fluctuating perception? Visual spatial learners have learned to separate their imagination from their real eyes and can use their mind's eye independently from their real eyes. Other types of learners have trouble doing that!

If a person could "see" with their imagination at the same time as with their real eyes so that everything was seen from two places at once, they would have really skewed perception of themselves and of the world. Compound that with an imagination that is out of control and whirling around at 4000 images per second. Is it any wonder that they can't keep their attention on any one thing for very long. It isn't that they don't have attention. They have too much attention and it is divided among hundreds of things.

When we give an ADHD person the tools for controlling perception, they discover that they can control the behavior that drives everyone around them mad. Giving them control over their perception and imagination provides the same centering and calming effect that medications do.
