Well, Sadona, that sounds disconcertingly familiar. Understand that 20 years ago, nobody knew what ADD was. Even today, many people don’t have a clue—they think it’s nothing more than a propensity to fidget and misplace car keys. If only. Many of us here have seen our lives shredded by ADD. Alas, there’s nothing any of us can do about the past. It’s water under the bridge. But… now we know what we’re up against. If nothing else, your children and our children will understand going forward how ADD affects behavior. They’ll have the benefit of medications. And, as a consequence, they’ll have better opportunities to pursue life opportunities that eluded us. I guess that’s something.
