Hi CJ – I got tested and found I had ADD after my 20 year old son was diagnosed and I did some reading. At first, I was kind of amused. Then after reading more I was mildly upset and saddened for a few days.

In the movie Bambi, Thumper says, “If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all.” So I’ll not comment on your mother’s election not to have you tested or medicated.

I would recommend the book “The ADHD Effect on Marriage” for you and your wife to read even though I am only about halfway through it.

There is a forum listing ADHD resources somewhere on this site, but I can’t find it.

Russell Barkley has some good you tube videos.
