flourshoppe,
Your story is a meaningful one and, unfortunately, not uncommon. All my life I had been told I was lazy, etc., but I knew there was more to it than that.
I believe that with all the resources available to people nowadays, information for ADD/ADHD is accessible. The only problem is that it isn’t nearly as diffuse as it should be; in other words, people shouldn’t have to research to know. Hallowell and Ratey’s “Driven to Distraction,” and TotallyADD’s “ADD and Loving it?!” and “ADD and Mastering it!” are media pioneers for the diffusion of real ADD/ADHD.
Do follow up on how everything goes; all the best.
P.S. sorry for the blank comment above this one–I accidentally sent it on my other account and couldn’t delete it.
