Famous Adult ADDers.... | ADHD Information
Dark--VerY dark . Well not that very...but more so then usuall--very off the wall for him, but he does a very good job with it. HEY 4 very's in one reply {not counting this one, which makes 5}
well i would love to, pilgrim, but i am in LA and i have the cronkiest car --- an old Daewoo Lanos tht won't go more than 50 miles per hour. so i think i would be murdered on the freeway/interstate on my way to see him -
anyways i can always meet with D'O instead of Robin Williams (same difference???). he pops down to LA from time to time.
a film developer huh? he's not sappy in it though is he. i prefer him in his roles which are a bit hard and dark but funny rather than cheery and over-eager...
I know this has been mentioned before but I thought I'd bring it up
again...
Anyone know of famous people who have Adult ADD? I know Terry
Bradshaw does and so does the gentleman who owns Jet Blue airlines. So
does comedian Drew Hastings who is on the Bob and Tom Show quite a
bit. Anyone else?
Thomas Edison is to supposed to have had it.......some guy named Einstein.....I'm beting Frank Lyod Wright had it to...
I'm puttin' money on Howie Mandell and Robin Williams.mozart, van gogh, any bleedin genius you can think of. all were hopeless at school, hopelessly uncontained, lost in their own world ---
were never going to conform.
yay for ADDers!
most end up dying an early death though (kurt cobain was he ADD?) or living in excruciating situations of alienation and poverty. some make it to be millionnaires, very successful and all but not all.... not that many.

Once one learns to harness the mass of ideas and creativity that Adders
have, then one can do wonders. Especially if you work in my field o'
graphic design.
Robin Williams he's like ADDhD to the 10th POWer.....There probaly isn't any med that could handle hIM &nb sp; 
imagine a conversation tween Robin Williams and D'O ---- hahahaha brain will implode at mere thought.
i think Robin Williams is great --- he makes me laugh my head off when he is not being all sappy. i don't like the sappy side of him so much.
i like him when he is being nasty and cantankerous. that makes me laugh so much more.
Robins ADD med was cocaine.same difference.
R.Williams lives in San Francisco i believe--why don't ya drop in on him jonesy
I saw a movie of his this yr. were he worked develping fILM...I gave it a 
I love when Robin plays the serious actor. I forget what movie he first did
that in but I remembered not reading that he was even in the movie and
when I saw him I was suprised. He was playing a serious part with no
comedy what-so-ever. That just proves his range as an actor.I believe Robin Williams has said he is manic-depressive (bipolar).

Topic: Famous Adult ADDers....
Hey, I found this one in Who's Who in ADDermerica:
DAvidornadog is an internationally unknown visionary capitalist who buries his creative talents in a wide range of ventures. He is an enormous successfully bankrupt entrepreneur and CEO founder of several enterprises that carry other’s impressions of chaos, impulsiveness’, distraction, and upheaval. He brought revolution to the thinking industry by claiming he was ADHD, and is unquestionably recognized as one of the most globally fascinating business leaders in his own mind. He started his first business selling worms to golfers and golf balls to fishermen while he was still in drammar school in Wawona.

I wonder how long Katie will stay a Scientologist when she finds out she
can't get any pain meds when she's having that baby?
He may be part Egyptian-he likes to hang.out by 'Denial River'....
hope he can swim, then. I think Tom Cruz is..but he's in denial.
