There's reputed to be a few on this board! (I'm one of them- I admit it- you name it, I've got it. I NEVER go for any of these tests women should have- I'd rather not know!!! Well- I work with students with Dyslexia and ADHD..etc.. as you know. (because I'm always mentioning it!!) Our staff tend to think we've got all this stuff because we had to read the criteria for our Post-grad Certificates. Yes- well- I'm impulsive- and I've got a low boredom threshold- definitely ADHD! I get highs and lows- oh, dear- that's Bi-polar disorder. I don't like getting stuck in lifts or tunnels- oh, mega-panic- that's a symptom of Autism!!! (Then you realise you have to have at least six of the "symptoms" to qualify!! BUT- ADHDs can be very, very talented people, when their energy is channelled in the right direction. We could do with some ADHDs in the squad- they've got terrific energy.

Pauline do you think Jags had ADHD? - He had lots of energy and was always running around sadly it was rarely properly channelled and more often than not he resembled a headless chicken

Very possibly!! Lukey could have it- he's certainly on a short fuse in every sense of the word!!! (Have you seen "Shrewmania!!") (And that's one of the symptoms!) But- When he's focused, he works like crazy. Rioch's badly co-ordinated definitely Dyspraxic!!

There's also a disorder called DAMP (honestly! It was "discovered" in the U.S- of course!) It stands for Deficiency in Attention, Motor-Control and Perceptiom. DAMP is what everyone gets if the ball goes anywhere near Rioch- they wet themselves!! ODD Oppositional Defiance Disorder- Jimmy sometimes gets it- he defies us, anyway!! CD- Conduct Disorder- O'Connor's known to have it. And it's a wonder we haven't ALL got Bi-Polar disorder the way our squad has us up one day and down a few days later! ARB- Absolutely Raving Bonkers- that's what you have to be to support Shrews these days!!
