"Did I SAY?!?!?! that ADD was CAUSED by using both sides of the brain simultaneously?"
Alright. Using both sides of the brain simultaneously is not a feature of ADD, as you implied. Feel better?
Oh for Pete's sake!
I said that using both sides of the brain simultaneously is ONE STEP AWAY from ADD! I said nothing about it being a feature, component, root cause, etc. of ADD.
I made an analogy - a statement to highlight the similarities between two things: 1) mixing rational, task-oriented focus with emotion; and 2) not being able to focus on the task at hand, as with ADD.
Please, please, please let this clarification end something that has gone on way too long!
