Several years ago I developed a short paper and pencil screening test
which, in a small pilot study, discriminated between ADHD, LD, and
control subjects. I recently converted this test to an online test in
order to norm it to a larger population and, subsequently, to make it
available to any one who has access to a computer and the Internet.
The test itself is what is called a substitution test. It has two
parts, both of which are timed for 90 seconds each and the differential
between the resulting two scores determines the likelihood of having a
learning disability or attention deficit disorder. I am in need of test
subjects  and naturally thought of your organization as a referral
source. The test along with an information form is available at:
http://www.adhdtests.com . I think a test like this one is much needed.
A person can take it directly instead of others completing behavioral
checklists or a completing a lengthy program intensive test like TOVA.
Perhaps you are willing to recommend this site and place a link to it
on your website. Also, I need more  kids and teenagers to take the
test!!

Actually there is some research being done regarding a possible link between
people who are ADHD and eventual development of Alzheimer's.

Research and conclusions are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

2 + 2 = 5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

What background do you have to advance this theory?

I believe most caretakers fight posting their changing suspicions about
what  caused of this dreadful disease to our LOs.

One week, its a blow to the head then heredity, lack of vitamin E,  and
on & on it goes..

I wish you luck in your quest  BUT=== why did you not say who is
sponsoring this "pilot study"???

ADHD is relatively recent, maybe 20 years old tops? ADHD is also entirely
subjective, even more so than Az. Chances of proving a link are tenuous at
best and impossible in our lifetimes and its hard to see what you'd do even
if there was a 100% link except say 'tough sh.t'.

Too true.   My son, who is now in his mid 30's was diagnosed with dyslexia
and ADD, which was one of the earlier forms of these kinds of disorders to
be recognized.    There is no way it has been recognized and documented long
enough to make a connection with Alzheimers, as far as I know.

This also popped up on the arthritis NG. Not sure if it's targeted or just a
mass blast.

perhaps ~naturally~  means he's posted it to all disease related groups that
start with A ?  LOL
