Boy, am I not alone! My sis told me this summer that when I was young, and to this day, I was a classic ADD. Mom didn't know what to do with me. Maybe there is something about us creative folks that is accompanied by attention problems. No problems at work, deadlines, structure, etc. Another thing, when something is not "just right" I can't continue, must walk away till the solution presents it'self.
My younger son was diagnosed with ADD, by a neurologist, and with medication and ld support, outgrew it. I haven't. When someone starts in on not giving meds to "real" ADD/ADHD, you know that they have not been down that road. Ignoring a problem like that in a child can lead to a child not finishing high school.
I feel much better now, thanks for listening to my rant.
