Is it common to differentiate between Scandinavia and Europe like this?

#42One of the recommendations, CBT, is inspired by NLP (heavily). I can say that NLP did wonders for me. Site is attrocious :)
That's really interesting that neuro linguistic programming helped you so much. I don't want to inquire into your own experiences as it's personal. But, I used to follow NLP very closely and sort of lost interest over time. Anyway, I felt it was best suited to 'software' changes in oneself - say at level of beliefs about the world, and how our use of symbols and language can affect our experience and abilities. ADHD,…
ADHD, as condition seems more like a 'hardware' thing. It's intriguing to imagine how conditions like that can be helped with a 'cognitive' approach. Perhaps it's used more to help manage things through techniques and strategies.
Kind of like video card drivers that have patches for specific games to work around issues in the hardware.

#43As someone with ADHD this site is incredibly hard to read and navigate (and probably would be for anyone even without it).
If you want this to be a useful resource, please consider:
-removing the distracting movement from carousels or moving the content entirely out from carousels
-removing the expanding sections and instead display all that content by default (no reason to hide it or make it expandable when it's so small)
-maybe the most impactful, adding some more margins and padding to give content enough space to breathe so my eyes can focus on one thing at a time
I tried looking through the accessibility menu but nothing there was able to improve these significant issues in the default styles.

#44I have a feeling that the massive quantities of prescribed amphetamines we've dumped into the population, including millions of children, is going to age about as well as using radium for wristwatches. But I guess we'll have to see the "evidence" for that.
We've had Ritalin for ADHD treatment since 1954.
Ritalin is a brand of methylphenidate, not amphetamine.

By NLP do you mean Natural Language Processing?
For whatever reason, I associate NLP with the pickup artist stuff. Can you recommend a NLP primer that's more, um, wholesome?

I didn't even think about it, I just closed it and went to the comments

The site is atrocious. The carousels aren’t even obvious — people will straight-up miss that there’s content. The little accessibility icon teleports about a second after scrolling, distracting the user and covering some text. (Seriously, just because material design made it cool to float a button right over the content doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea.) A small amount of content fades in the first time one scrolls to the bottom, which is a great way to waste bandwidth and many latency really obvious.
This site gains nothing from any Javascript or display: styling. Keep the overall theme but make it just plain content.

#48What a garbage site, in so many dimensions.
I really enjoyed how the first answer to the question of how people with ADHD can improve their lives is, "take your meds!"
Re: Evidence-based conclusions about ADHD
#49Not much evidence on here, other than “avoid food colourants.”
I wouldn't say there's even evidence of that.
> Widespread public belief that artificial food coloring causes ADHD-like hyperactivity in children originated from Benjamin Feingold, a pediatric allergist from California, who proposed in 1973 that salicylates, artificial colors, and artificial flavors cause hyperactivity in children;[35] however, there is no evidence to support broad claims that food coloring causes food intolerance and ADHD-like behavior in children.

Re: Evidence-based conclusions about ADHD
#50With all the comments about carousels, I just had to look! Is the idea that the site's interactivity is stimulating and thus soothing and attention grabbing for ADHD folks? As being diagnosed myself, I feel like such treatment is disgustingly patronizing.
