I’ll go first…after 10 years of speculating in the market (read: gambling in high risk assets) I realized I shouldn’t ever touch a brokerage account in my lifetime. A monkey would have made better choices than I did. Greed has altered the course of life many times over. I am at an age where I may recover from my actions over the decades, but it has taken its toll. I am frugal and have a good head on me, but having such impulsivity in financial instruments was not how I envisioned my adulthood. Its a bitter pill to swallow, since money is livelihood of my family, but I need to “invest” all I have into relationships, meaningful moments, and fulfilling hobbies.

    What symptoms have you noticed? I’m trying to figure out my own behaviour and would be really interested in your experience

      I took LTO-3 food supplements against ADHD. ADD is thought to be the same mental disorder but with different symptoms, so it worked on me as well, except temporarily, only for teo weeks. Perhaps due to my type of autism of which the types of autism really haven’t been distinguished yet.

      So if you take LTO-3 and you notice vast differences in your own behavior, then you have ADD/ADHD.

      Here’s what I noticed:

      • Vastly less trouble following group conversations.
      • No looking down automatically when walking.
      • No more lazy body swaying due to low energy.
      • Much easier switching to a new task
      • Much easier starting a new task
      • Less ‘mind weight’ making it…
        • Easier to talk
        • Easier to pay attention at board games
      • Having energy left after 8 hours of work instead of crashing down.

      Any doctor, nurse practitioner, etc. should be able to give you a screening test - in my case it was a 20-question form that said at the bottom if you answered Yes to more than 2 questions you might have some form of ADHD. I answered Yes to all but two lol.

        I’ll be sure to have my butler schedule some luxurious healthcare for me.
