TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
WADR to Lisa's good intentions, I strongly advise you all not to reveal
your personal medical conditions on this publicly and permanently
accessible list.
Furthermore, revealing anyone *else's* medical conditions might be
construed as a violation of HIPAA. I am not an expert in HIPAA, and any
input from those who are would be welcome.
Yours for privacy and regulatory compliance,
Dan Goldstein

> A tech writer friend and I were talking about ADD (Attention Deficit
> Disorder) the other day and that several tech writers we know
> have it. For some, it works to their advantage. Others find
> it to be a disadvantage. Is this a trend among tech writers?
> Is it a career that people with ADD are drawn to?
>
> So, this week's poll question is:
>
> Does ADD have an effect on your ability to work as a technical writer:
> It has a positive effect - think multitask!
> It has a negative effect - too many distractions I... oh,
> look at that pretty shiny object!
> ADD?! Everyone has that!
> I do not have ADD
> Other/None of the above
>
> As always, feel free to discuss this poll on the email list.
> However, make sure you keep it focused on technical communication.
