Bobcat – I echo the welcome!

My first post was (I think) quite long as well, but I have to tell you how good it felt once it was out there! My perspective is a little different, since I live on the “other side” of the the ADD diagnosis. While it does not apply to me personally, it does apply to my youngest son, and we are still waiting for evaluation results to see if this is also the case with my older son and my husband. Yup, I am potentially the ringleader of our very own little three-ring circus as we learn to juggle everyone’s varying gifts! These men with which I share my life mean the world to me, and I cherish their collective quirky humour, creativity, and ever-present curiosity about the world we live in. Think of how boring life would be if every day was the same!

Though we are typically very private people, it was something of a relief to relay our experiences, especially after viewing some of the feedback to my first post, and by providing feedback to others who were/are in similar situation, we felt that we were able to contribute some sense of encouragemen, however small. So far, I have felt nothing but welcoming support from others on this site, and if sharing means that even one person benefits by not having to go through the same challenges, it is worth every word!

I hope your wait isn’t too long, and look forward to hearing from you again soon!
