San Jose, Calif – Part-time radio personality Roland Wilson, recently tested positive for the dreaded mental disorder A.D.D. or Attention Defcit Disorder: a controversial biologically-based condition that causes a persistent pattern of difficulties resulting in such behaviors as inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.

Since being diagnosed, friends and family members have noticed a change in Wilson’s behavior patterns… not all for the better.

“At first he seemed committed to beat this thing and was going for rehabilitation,” says his long-time girlfriend, Mary. “But in the recent several months his behavior has just deteriorated and deteriorated and he’s come to use the A.D.D. diagnosis as more of an excuse more than anything”.

In recent months Roland’s sleeping patterns have become so erratic that they are now virtually totally at random. “We can’t even spend my days off together because he’s sleeping all day usually. He comes in at 5 in the morning to go to sleep just when I’m getting up.”. She says he will disappear sometimes for days at a time without warning and return without explanation.

“Like, we were supposed to go over to Susan’s for a dinner party we had been planning for a week. And he had been pacing around all day and twitching. Suddenly he says ‘I’ll be right back!’ and before I can say ‘where are you going?’ he’s disappeared out the door. He was gone for 16 HOURS. I tried calling up to the radio station, and it turned out he was up there but he wouldn’t come to the phone. Later he came home and there was not a word of apology or explanation or anything. When I tried to talk to him about it, he just muttered something about his A.D.D. acting up. He used to NEVER act that bad before the diagnosis.”

Mary also complains about him ‘spreading his crap all out all over the floor of the apartment and starting 5 different projects that he doesn’t finish and creating a complete mess’. “Well, you know, that’s what people with A.D.D. do,” Wilson says with a smirk and a shrug.

Mary says there have been other incidents.

“Then there was the time where he was supposed to fix my mom’s TV set. My mom’s TV set is very important to her. And he was supposed to be over by 8:30am. And he assures me ‘oh yeah yeah yeah I’ll be ready much sooner than that’. And I’m like ‘how many times have I heard THAT before?’ So of course we wait around for HOURS, just getting madder and madder, finally he shows up around 1:30pm with his sunglasses on and a Rockstar drink in his hand and smoking one of those twist tie Arab cigarettes that he smokes and a smirk on his face and you just want to haul off and punch the bastard right? But you can’t because he has a ‘brain disease’ Aaaaarrrggghhh! Oh God I hate him!”

Mary’s teenage daughter, Rose, who lives with the strifed couple concurs, “Yeah he like leaves his beard hair all over the sink, it’s so grody and he doesn’t clean up after himself. He gets into my mom’s private stuff like some big hairy bear rooting through garbage. He ripped the top off of a whole box of cereal? And he eats food that’s clearly marked for my school lunch the next day cuz he’s ‘inattentive’ right? I’m so SURE, what a PIG. But oh wait but it’s not his fault right, it’s his 'brain disorder' right? Ever since he’s found out he’s had THAT, it’s like he’s been handed a free license to become a total ASSHOLE”.

Longtime creative partner John Stimeson says “Yeah I think with Roland the diagnosis has actually made his behavior worse. We do this radio show that’s sort of semi-weekly and all I ask of him is to transport my disks up to the station so they can be played. All he has to do is make a copy for the show’s producer and make a backup copy for the station in case that gets lost. Pretty simple right? But now that he thinks of himself as an A.D.D.’er, he lets himself get all distracted by all manner of things, and that shit doesn’t get done. And you can’t get mad at him because ‘he has a 'brain disorder’. But before he found out he had one, it wasn’t nearly half this bad.”

Attempts to reach Roland for an interview were unsuccessful.

We scheduled a time for noon on Sunday and waited around for nearly 4 hours with Roland making no attempt to reach our interviewing team. We called around to all his usual haunts during that time, he was nowhere to be found, and wouldn’t return any messages.

We finally gave up, eventually scheduling again for Tuesday evening, but again he was a no show. He did leave us a quick voicemail on Thursday which sounded like he was calling from a bar-like atmosphere saying “Sorry guys, it’s my A.D.D.”

Further attempts to reach him for comment were unsuccessful.
