I'll look into that, do lots of reading & see if it may be applicable for me.
I've seen PET scans of people with ADD trying to concentrate vs ordinary brains. What I've never seen is a PET scan of an ADD individual who's hyperfocusing. I'm curious to what part of the brain is activated there. I know that when I do hyperfocus (not something one forces but just happens with some subjects one is intensely interested in), everything comes together so smoothly & quickly. Though it doesn't necessarily stay in my memory!
About your driver's test, have you considered (I'm sure you have) taking a tranquiliser & a stimulant together? They don't counter each other but will complement each under what I know can be very stressful conditions. Where do most driving examiners come from - the depths of Hell & then some? I've never met such a scowling, unfriendly bunch before - designed to make a professional driver quake in his boots.
