Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer PRing with ADD/ADHD

No i don't have ADD, but i'm wondering a few thing sjust out of curiosity. If i remember correctly, the accelerative learning state is when the brain waves are at the alpha state (or something like that). Anyway, when we were discussing ADD in health class last week, one of my friends who has ADD was recalling an experience of when they hooked him up to a machine that measures brain wavs. Anyway, he said basically that because he had ADD his average brain waves were above the normal state. Does this mean that someone with ADD would have trouble with the photo-reading step?

I've got ADD and no, it does not cause trouble w/the PR step. In fact, PR works well with people w/ADD because Photo Reading is not a concious act but unconcious act.
The test you described is an EEG.

Learning to enter the accelerative learning state actually has some advantage for people suffering with ADD it helps them to slow their brainwaves somewhat.

People normally think ppl with add are stupid but i hear that they are more than average , they are smarter than normal people but suffer with poor results cause they cant seem to pay attention.
Also i think there may be some disadvantage to them because they seem to doubt that anything will work from my experience.
And just cant go on fully believing.

I don't think people diagnosed with ADD are any smarter/dumber than the rest of us. First off, chances are they were diagnosted because they were normal, though very active people and had trouble concentrating in class because humans in general are not biologically built to sit 6 hours straight and listen. Secondly, its hard to say "people with ADD are smart," it just doesn't make much sense to me.
