Can you join the swat team if you have ADHD?
Joining a SWAT team typically requires meeting rigorous physical, psychological, and medical standards, which can vary by department. Having ADHD does not automatically disqualify an individual, but they may need to demonstrate effective management of their condition. Each case is evaluated individually, and candidates may be required to provide medical documentation and undergo psychological assessments. It's essential to consult with the specific law enforcement agency for their policies regarding ADHD and recruitment.
Is there a link between being a sociopath and having ADHD?
Some websites portend that as ADHD (can) create low impulse control there is cross correlation in this feature. A sociopath doesn't have the impulse control or capacity for forward planning and just acts on thinking. Coupled with this a sociopath does not have a conscience, feelings of guilt or remorse (they could kill their own child without any emotional disturbance if this so suited them). They have an underlying need for power and feeding of this ego and despite not attaching to surrounding people, they can enjoy a persons company and are inevitably very charming, charismatic people.
An ADHD person on the other hand does care about other people just like everybody else. In fact for some ADHD people, as their frontal lobes are firing so much faster than the typical brain it can make some very sensitive to their environments and the people around them so they are very aware of how others feel creating above average empathy levels, as opposed to a sociopath who has no empathy.
So if an ADHD child was severely neglected and not taught social protocols it is possible that their poor impulse control could lead them into a world where they were just acting on their own behalf, deviate into violent behaviors as acting out of boredom, restlessness and/or acting out behaviors they have witnessed (as a coping mechanism).
Adhd is not considered a congenital disorder?
ADHD is a grouping of behavioral or mental patterns: a mental disorder. It describes behavior but not an underlying cause. It’s like how a pain in your leg does not describe the cause of the pain. Is it broken, burnt or infected?
It looks like there are more ways to get ADHD: genetic, environmental and both. We just don’t know exactly what happens. Some recent Dutch research seems to indicate that for 80% of children with ADHD, most symptoms can be taken away by a personalized diet.
Full speculation mode - A big reason might be: The brain of someone with ADHD likes some food or activities too much. When consumed the brain makes so much dopamine that the body adapts and starts breaking it down faster. As a result normal dopamine production gets broken down faster too. On average you have to little dopamine in your brain, which is the stuff that makes you concentrate.

Is it possible for ADHD to go unnoticed until 16?
Absolutely. It is actually fairly common for some people with attention disorders not to notice anything wrong until their adult years (as per my psychiatrist).. Likely due to lifestyle changes and just getting more and more added to your plate as you grow older. I personally JUST found out I've had ADD for the past 20 yrs, and it's really quite freeing to finally figure out what's been debilitating me for my whole life. I recommend that you take a look at your past and cross reference your former actions, attitudes, relationships, interests, etc. with some of the common symptoms of ADHD however, simply because it's very rare to develop an attention disorder throughout life as opposed to receiving it genetically. You should also consider your family history of attention issues, if any, as that will show you whether or not you're more predisposed to the condition. Also, obviously, ask yourself if
it could be something else. Anxiety and depression for example mimic some of the same symptoms as ADD/ADHD, and I personally had such severe anxiety prior to being treated for ADD that I no idea I had attention problems until my antidepressant fully kicked in. word.
Besides Clonidine what other medication treats impulsivity?
Methylphenidate is a medication branded under two very popular names: Concerta and Ritalin. These medications are commonly used for people, especially children, with ADHD (most commonly Ritalin). It can seriously help with impulsivity because it has an effect which slows down the decision process in the brain for more rashional decisions. The difference between the two is that Ritalin is taken as a instant-release drug, which provides relief from ADHD effects on-the-spot. Concerta, on the other hand, is a slow-release medication: meaning that taking it once a day is usually enough to last the rest of the day. Concerta has been said to work even better than Ritalin, although everyone has different reactins.
But, make sure you talk to a mental health expert (psychiatrist, psychologist) prior to starting such a medication. A prescription is required to obtain methylphenidate, so do not ever 'borrow' any pills from a friend or someone you know unless otherwise instructed by a mental health expert. Usually they give you a sample dosage before buying the whole thing, therefore making it and unnecessary risk to take medication not prescribed to you.
adhd stands for attention deficit hyperactive disorder. It can make people of all ages unable to concentrate on all different activities. ADHD is also characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness.

Can atomoxetine help people with Asperger's Syndrome?
Strattera, also known as atomoxetine, is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used for treating attention-deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
It is one medication that can be given to people with ADHD (who might also have Asperger's Syndrome). It can help them stay focused and decrease impulsiveness, which means it might also help with anger management issues. However, possible side effects include suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite, aggression, and others.
It is thought that it might be useful in treating some symptoms found in people with autism spectrum disorders. Thus, it might help some people with Asperger's Syndrome who have uncontrolled emotional outbursts or other impulsive behaviors.
Why does the drug speed have the reverse effect on ADHD patients?
It is because in ADD/ADHD patients there is a part of their brain that is running slower than the rest of the brain.. the stimulants activate 'that' part of the brain so it can run at the same speed as the rest of the brain.
