I worked with a client who has a few behaviors characteristic of ADD, but is not really ADD. His main issue at this point was how to spend leisure time at night after work. He works hard with no problems focusing on a task he enjoys, but gets fidgety after work regarding leisure time. Like some ADDers, he doesn’t want to spend more than an hour reading or watching TV; it’s too passive.
As is typically the case, his spouse has an opposite brain style and likes to sit and watch TV or read after work. In general, an ADDer has boundless energy, and often has to engage in a physical activity after work, such as using a treadmill. Or he can sign up for some class of great interest, perhaps a dance class, which his partner might not want to do.
If you are an ADDer and have a problem with leisure time, what do you do?

I had fun reading your article.
I still don't know what the difference between ADD and ADHD is. They look just the same for me. But this article makes a point on what ADD is.
One of the alternative treatments for ADHD is changing your child's diet. ADHD recommended diets are especially formulated to address the problems on ADHD patients. Although the results of diet therapy cannot be seen immediately, long term use of this technique can lead to unbelievable improvements in ADHD patients.
