I wrestle in High School.
Greco-Roman is what I want to do soon.
Freestyle wrestling is what I do outside of school.

Does it work in a fight?

I know a lot about Martial Arts, but wrestling is not my strong suit knowledge wise

Actually I thought that was said of people with ADHD of which I am one. I wonder which is worse?

DO NOT KNOW

Of course I am likely biased but Autism is a more complex issue.

Actually I thought that was said of people with ADHD of which I am one. I wonder which is worse?

Also I have never heard that about ADHD

"Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder.[1] It is characterized primarily by "the co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each behavior occurring infrequently alone" and symptoms starting before seven years of age.[2]
ADHD is the most commonly studied and diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children, affecting about 3 to 5 percent of children globally[3][4] and diagnosed in about 2 to 16 percent of school-aged children.[5] It is a chronic disorder[6] with 30 to 50 percent of those individuals diagnosed in childhood continuing to have symptoms into adulthood.[7][8] Adolescents and adults with ADHD tend to develop coping mechanisms to compensate for some or all of their impairments.[9] It is estimated that 4.7 percent of American adults live with ADHD.[10] Standardized rating scales such as the World Health Organization's Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale can be used for ADHD screening and assessment of the disorder's symptoms' severity.[11]
ADHD is diagnosed two to four times more frequently in boys than in girls,[12][13] though studies suggest this discrepancy may be partially due to subjective bias of referring teachers.[14] ADHD management usually involves some combination of medications, behavior modifications, lifestyle changes, and counseling. Its symptoms can be difficult to differentiate from other disorders, increasing the likelihood that the diagnosis of ADHD will be missed.[15] In addition, most clinicians have not received formal training in the assessment and treatment of ADHD, in particular in adult patients.[15]
ADHD and its diagnosis and treatment have been considered controversial since the 1970s.[16] The controversies have involved clinicians, teachers, policymakers, parents and the media. Topics include ADHD's causes, and the use of stimulant medications in its treatment.[17][18][19] Most healthcare providers accept that ADHD is a genuine disorder with debate in the scientific community centering mainly around how it is diagnosed and treated.[20][21][22] The American Medical Association concluded in 1998 that the diagnostic criteria for ADHD are based on extensive research and, if applied appropriately, lead to the diagnosis with high reliability.'

I thought ADHD can be sedated anyway...

Yeah, people are scared to fight me lol.
Nobody wants to get slammed on their neck lol, there is no counter to a technically sound wrestler except another wrestler(or MMA).

I train in BJJ with my wrestling coach also. All of my wrestling coaches are professional fighters in MMA, or are at least knowledgeable in it.

Pankration is a good wrestling style. Albeit Sombo is good also.

BJJ is a bit too sport orientated for me...

really? Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder? You must have heard about ADD right? ADHD is a bit worse than its counter-part ADD. People with the disorder are very intelligent...if they can focus. Many are required to take medication. I wasn't so lucky to have had it diagnosed at an early age like it can be today but I certainly have a history that can prove it. Not like there is an actual test for it.

I have alot of problems now at my age although I am young. I find it hard to concentrate. Luckily I have lived with it without using ay medication. I am scared of what the actual medication does to people. It turns them into these weird robot people.

Ok... But ADHD does not make you smart, if your smart, then your smart because your smart, not the ADHD.

I THINK.....

Never heard of them....
I only know American, Greco-Roman, and Freestyle wrestling.
And ofcourse the fake mainstream wrestling(WWE).

I'm all about the competition.

I could never just do a BJJ tournament though, I would need to incorporate it with wrestling.

And out of the ones you know, which is the most useful.

Because I have no clue how ADHD makes you smart. Makes you hyper I think?

Autism doesn't make you smart either. I have never seen this stated.

Just because there are brilliant people with autism, that does not automatically diagnose everyone with autism as a genius, just awkward lol.
