Dear David,
Our editor/web wizard/jack of all trades Jimi saw your posting and let Ava and I know about it.
Ava just read it aloud to me. I’m sitting here with moist eyes.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Doing videos and a website is odd in a way. We work, sometimes seven days a week, and don’t stop long enough to know if what we are doing is making a difference. So what you’ve written feels like a standing ovation that never ends. I love that you are not going to let anger, regret or frustration over your mis-diagnosis in the past, stop you.
You might, if you find the time and feel strong enough, let your doctor know it’s not onset dementia. That doctor may dismiss you, as most people do, or maybe he will learn something. There are still thousands of medical professionals who don’t get that this is real. And of course hundreds of millions of ‘civilians’ who think, “It’s just a convenient excuse to be lazy.”
Anyway, that aside, I also know that in our quest to find out information about ADHD we ADDers can become a bit self-absorbed, hyper focused on our ADHD, and we forget to acknowledge the people who are helping us find our way.
On behalf of myself, and Ava and Jimi, and all the others who have made the film, thanks.
Rick Green
