OT - comedian talks about his ADD

[Guest guest]

The following story is not about AS, but will be relevant to some of us

on the spectrum, who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder

as adults. Children with AS are also sometimes diagnosed with ADD before

they receive a diagnosis of AS.

Comic Rick Green talks about his ADHD, seriously

J. White

FEATURE WRITER

While the world saw him as a successful comic actor and writer, Rick

Green was painfully aware of his exhausting struggles – his

distractibility, the unfinished work, the unproductive periods.

Much in his life didn't make sense to him until he was finally diagnosed

with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He was 47.
