I love this thread! When I took my son to a doctor at Sick Kids many years ago, the shrink he saw there informed me that there was nothing wrong with Brendan that wouldn’t be fixed if I were a better parent and gave him more structure. Really helpful eh?

@JayBird – I like your mom!

When I took part in an afternoon of recovery stories a few years ago, I said that the usual reaction from people when I tell them I have ADD is to suggest that there’s nothing really wrong with me and I should just try harder. I actually started working on a book called “But I am trying harder!”. It only took me about two years to finish the first page, then lost it to a computer crash. ~sigh~
