Hi There,
I have just read your phobia's article and I was wondering if you've ever come across the name for "fear of hi-fiving"??
Believe it or not I have this fear! I get a sense of dread when ever someone tries to give me one and I can't bring myself to do it!

Wussy-ness.
Apparently, it makes a difference if you are receiving a high-five from a person or other:
Homomanualtupentaphobia = fear of receiving high-five from a person
Pennatupteroplectraphobia = fear of being struck by a wing
Ursadynamoinflictophobia = fear of being struck by a bear
And then there is the fear of being hi-fived by someone with less than the average number of fingers.
I can't remember what that is called.
Or the fear of being high fived by someone with more than the average number of hands - something like, toomanythingstopayattentiontoaphobia.

ADD?
Whatever, that's not AD oohh a nickel!
Do you know what the ADD kid got for Christmas?
What?

LQTM.
I have a short attention span, cannot sit still, and have a habit of talking too loudly and too fast. No one will diagnose me with ADD, so I can't take pills to make my mind shut up. Makes me sad.
I had an ADHD child, before the acronym was well known. It was strange, you could not punish him into behaving himself or paying attention. It was like telling a child with one leg not to limp. He ended up in a residential special-needs school that was truly amazing. He has ended up well-adjusted and at University.
You blame yourself as parents at first. Physiological disorders are expected and understood. You understand and forgive the one-legged child for being really crap in the sprint races. But you blame the parents (and that includes yourself if you are the parent) if their behaviour is unacceptable. It takes the arrival of a second child into the household to finally drive home the fact that it is not your fault. It's a cathartic moment, sort of reminiscent of Robin Williams in "Good Will Hunting".
One final thing, everyone thinks their child is hyperactive. Trust me, the real thing is entirely different.
Well, you can't really even talk to people who ARE ADD/ADHD anymore, because nowadays, most everyone is on pills for depression or hyperactiveness. I wonder what it's really like...
And it seems to be the "in" thing for computer geeks to self-diagnose themselves with Asperger's Syndrome, just because they want an excuse to act like introverted assholes.
It has something to do with snakes. Cleopatra was the first person ever diagnosed with it.

What is Asperger's Syndrome? (I'm too lazy to actually look it up.)
Nevermind. Looked it up.

In response to my question about what ADHD is really like, or my question about Asperger's?
That was in response to the Asperger's question
