Reply to comment by Groftsan in Humanoid robots using cameras for eyes will likely experience issues and accidents around spinning objects such as propellers, due to frame rates by scarronline

When I did my ADHD testing there is one test you have to listen for a cue and watch for a cue and then hit a button when either happens for 10 minutes. I did moderately okay for the first 3 minutes and then you can see where I stopped paying attention because my accuracy went from 70% to 4%. So yeah, I agree with you. I would be propellered meat

I did the opposite. I kept an accuracy rate of 90+% through the whole test. Doc "oh that's a hyperfocus if i ever saw one" but I'm also the person who falls over when they're trying to stand still for longer thzn 15 seconds so who knows

Oh yeah, that's a thing too. When you stop paying attention to the balance muscles and they forget hot to work

You focused so hard on standing still that you inhibited your toes and feet from balancing your body

It’s almost like getting tested for adhd almost guarantees a diagnosis

Nah, when you're testing for a disorder that affects how well you can control your attention, you expect to get stuff at both extremes.

A normal person will get distracted (because the task is boring), then think, "oh! i'm supposed to be doing the thing", and then go back to doing the thing.

A person with ADHD will probably have the same thought, but no amount of effort can guarantee that you can go back to doing the thing.

With ADHD, whether the distraction happens is unpredictable, so both hyperfocus and getting distracted and unable to recover are indicators of disordered processing.

“Whether you get distracted or not you have ADHD”

I hope in the future humanity is able to see the barbarity of modern psychiatry as we see all of the history of psychiatry: based in brutality, pseudoscience, and often the violation of human rights.

This guy watches a documentary and still thinks modern psychological tests are the same as from the 50s

Or, you know, reading stacks of books and endless articles and studies, but sure. I watched a documentary.

Well why read a whole gunky stack of shittily compacted information when you could read a tiny little kidz bop magazine of all the best stuff right from the brink of your porcelain squat chair

"Both a difficulty of attention and a tendancy to hyperfocus on certain tasks is indocative of ADHD"

Its literally the name of the disorder. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder. People with ADHD can struggle to pay attention to certain tasks or hyperfocus on the task.

If we just gave everyone stimulants I think we'd be happier. Just saying.

That is an incredibly shortsighted view. Stimulants are not good for the body, especially daily long term use.

We already have too many old people. Two birds, one stone.

Also people with ADHD take daily stimulants for years. We're getting to the point there'll be people who have been on them virtually their entire lives.

So, so many things wrong with this comment. You're encouraging what is essentially genocide, or biochemical warfare against entire populations.

Also, "too many old people" means you fundamentally don't understand the issue. It's not like people will be healthy forever then just keel over 10 years earlier than average. They'll get sick and feel progressively shittier.

Lol, no I'm not. I guess I should've put /j. But for real, just let people have em. Who cares? Better than street meth.

I didn’t say people shouldn’t have them. Doctors shouldn’t be prescribing them so much and they shouldn’t be treated so casually.

But also yeah if people want them recreationally they should be able to buy them. We just shouldn’t act like it’s a good thing.

If you have symptoms of ADHD and get tested, yes it almost guarantees a diagnosis. Just like diabetes or a stroke. It's a health condition, why would anyone get tested who isn't showing symptoms?
