Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D. All Wrong? (Gift Article) With diagnoses at a record high, some experts have begun to question our assumptions about the condition β€” and how to treat it.

As part of my ongoing, Sisyphean effort to educate the public and even other professionals about the problems of current diagnostic system I present this article. I don't agree with everything in it, but it is generally right on point.

I didn't generate this but liked it... aside from my hair being long it's actually pretty spot on...

My walking #iris is blooming right now because I keep them in my greenhouse over winter. Imagine dozens of these all over. The photo is a focus stack of 30 images taken with my #macro lens. #flowers #purple #canon

My wife loved this poem enough to center our wedding ceremony around it 20-some years ago, and she decided this year to have someone draw up a nice copy of it. I made the #frame. It’s made from #sapelle which I love for its shimmery grain pattern and rich color. #woodworking

Which finish do you prefer? The left #bowl I finished with #shellac, while the right one I finished with #boiledlinseedoil. Try to ignore the different design. The shellac is glossy while the BLO is matte. Same wood. Thoughts? #woodworking

An unusual project for meβ€”Penn State’s herbarium asked me to make a demonstration of how #fern leaves evolved over time as a #puzzle that kids can do. Never made a puzzle before, first time using a scroll saw! #woodworking

Flow (2024) ⭐ 7.9 | Animation, Adventure, Family 1h 25m | PG

On Max and Prime now, it's not a Ghibli masterpiece, has some unfortunate script issues IMO, but it's very pretty and worth watching especially if you like cats. Maybe not the best for very young children.

Sorry, #MitchMcConnell, you don't get to be on the right side of history by only now, at the end of your career, turning against your party and being the sole "no" vote. You helped to create this mess. Now you've lost control of the monster you helped create.

Lawfare Daily: Nayna Gupta on the Laken Riley Act
YouTube video by Lawfare Lawfare Daily: Nayna Gupta on the Laken Riley Act

The Laken Riley Act was opposed by Laken's parents and by ICE, because its mandates actually make Americans LESS safe. In addition, it will cost billions, and could deprive you of needed services. This law is about cruelty, not law enforcement or common sense. Also wouldn't have saved Laken.

My psychologist colleague Dan Warner and I gave a presentation today about considerations for recommending psychotropic medication to children at PA's annual #NAMI conference in Pittsburgh today. We got a lot of support from attendees for prescriptive authority for psychologists.

Mark my words this is just the first step--soon the only legal animals in this country will be dogs, rattlesnakes, and bald eagles.
