Re: kids or not

My take on this is that as our knowledge base grows, ADD and other behavioural “disorders” will become easier to treat and deal with, but it all depends on the person. I have moderate ADD. I don’t have the greatest attention span, and I am impulsive to a fault, but for the most part I can manage. I was blessed to be in a gifted class in school, and the parent that raised me was not the one with ADD, and she set an amazing example of what a parent should be. I am most definitely going to have kids someday. I know that I struggled with ADD in school, but back then, no one had the faintest clue what it was. My children will likely have an easier time of it, partcularly since they will have my experience to draw from regarding coping mechanisms. My biggest fear is that the person I have kids with may also be ADD, and we will end up in a “blind leading the blind” scenario!
