Hi Gma,

I agree it’s very tricky with family, families have so much history and strong emotions going on. I vote get a copy, hopefully two of the documentary, film, DVD things. It sucks a lot but in so many cases, especially in families where ADHD has caused some or part of the problems, they just won’t listen to each-other. Regardless of how right you are. They won’t hear the truth coming from you. Probably don’t want to be corrected by family members.

Carefully read all the info on this page, and spend some time surfing around this site for more ideas okay?

If it’s at all possible, maybe find a way to help this young dude find his way to this site. Maybe ask a friend of his, or someone not in the family to help him find his way here, without actually getting yourself involved if possible. It’s important to stay on good terms with the rest of your family if at all possible right?. So I wouldn’t risk sneaking around. Ask a friend you can really trust to help him find his way here. I bet you can come up with a way to steer him toward this site. Trust your instincts, you know your family better than we do.

Every case is different, and I could definitely be wrong, but maybe just start out by getting that ADD and Loving it?! film, art, comedy, entertainment, tear jerker, and dramatic action adventure story thing… Maybe just sorta leave it somewhere in the right house where the right people find it?, I dunno, it’s risky business, but this guy really needs someone on his side, like US! how bout dat?. :-)

We’re all rooting for ya, come back n let us know how things work out okay? thanks.
