@Mizmazzle that's interesting, it's definitely something if be conscious of it if had children in the future.. though I fear it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for a parent.

@T4920 I’ve had a few diagnosed students over the years.

Same here. Just finished teaching a class with a student with diagnosed ODD and ADHD combined. He made some wild artwork, but on his own terms.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia is ODD different to OCD, or was that a typo?

[Mizmazzle]

OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder. Lots of repetitive, compulsive actions.

That’s a rough combination of disorders to have I’d imagine.

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 yup what @Mizmazzle said but I was saying ODD & ADHD I'm not sure where OCD was referenced here maybe I missed it.

[popvulture]

Seems there was some mixing up of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Killing in the Name of Disorder.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia it wasn't mentioned, I just didn't know what ODD was, and I thought you might've meant OCD.

After a google search I realise you meant Oppositional Defiant Disorder, sorry I hadn't seen it in acronym form before.

oppositional defiant disorde

I learnt of this recently. It's something I've struggled with my entire life, and it was comforting to know their was a clinical name for it.

Best exemplified by the fact that as a child, if my mum would tell me take bath or brush my teeth, I'd flat out refuse, even if I had every intention of doing these things just seconds before she mentioned it...

It still rears it's head to this day, but having an awareness of it (generally) stops it from impacting my professional life.

but…

[T4920]

Yes, I'm aware of the condition.. but hadn't seen it stylised as the acronym ODD before, so the meaning of what Steve said didn't register.

[Oaktavia]

There are so many acronyms out there in the education field! A lot to keep up with and many change over the years. It can be confusing especially since so many are similar letters and names.

[pechelman]

Want confusing acronyms, come to aerospace
My personal favorites are the nested acronyms.

…and the military

Grabbed a couple 7.5oz tees, haven't tried them before and couldn't resist at that price.

[Kasi]

7.5oz are winners

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 dude you're going to love them! But be aware, all other tshirts become inferior...I converted my entire tshirt collection to 7.5oz IH ones, minus a few band shirts. They are truly amazing.

[T4920]

@Oaktavia just another step towards the all premium Japanese wardrobe of my dreams! Mainly IH, but the recently acquired Flat Head tees will take some beating...

[gazza61]

@Oaktavia not true these guys make some really great summer ts, Utilitees Loopwheel Crew Neck T

[AdamJ]

Great to hear different opinions, Utilitees usurped IHT-1610L as the champion tee in my wardrobe

[Daniel San]

I really like the 7.5 oz tshirts from IH , but they just don’t fit me. tried 4 or 5 but all are too tight at the back ‍️ feels uncomfortable. The 6.5 oz are great and work for me. Flat head Ts are great too !
