My welcome may be a bit late but I have been away from the site for awhile......Despite, I had to give a good 'ol southern "hey" to all of the new members! It's gonna take awhile but its awesome we are growing so quickly! You will love the sight, there are a lot of good, genuine people here and we want to get to know you. Oh yeah, and don't forget to put a picture on your profile if you haven't already.......express yo-self!!!!! Glad to have you!

De votre côté, ne désespérez pas : parfois ça prend du temps aux gens avant de se lancer dans l'action, surtout chez des gens ayant le TDAH ! Ils pensent, pensent et pensent avant de faire un geste et finalement, ils se rendent compte qu'ils doivent agir s'ils veulent améliorer leur vie! En tout cas, moi je suis comme ça !
Donc, oui, je vous encourage à continuer vos efforts en janvier car les gens ont tellement besoin de vous !

J'aimerais vous poser une première question, personnelle, sur votre expérience avec le TDAH :
Comment avez-vous vécu votre jeunesse, en tant que déficitaire de l'attention ? Quels problèmes/difficultés avez-vous rencontrés ?
Je vous remercie à l'avance,
Cordialement,
Véronique St-Martin
Plus particulièrement, je trouve qu'il manque de groupes de soutien et de spécialistes (médecins, psychiatres, psychologues, éducateurs, coachs) en TDAH pour adultes. De même, il devrait y avoir plus d'aide à l'emploi pour nous, les attentionnels, car nous avons un profil d'employabilité très différent de la majorité des gens.
Je vois que vous êtes professeur en éducation spécialisée et je suis moi-même inscrite dans ce programme, que je devrais entamer dès janvier. Je pourrais ainsi venir en aide aux gens qui ont le TDAH.
J'espère avoir répondu à votre question.
Cordialement,
Véronique St-Martin
Thanks again. My challenge right now is following through on one thought and articulating it. I have a lot of things that want to spill out, creates a lot of confusion and anxiety for me. I dislike having to write anything, because that is when all these ideas come all at once, and the min i start writing i am frustrated because i am so mixed up with everything else. I try to take notes and write out what I need to do, and i can't get organized, in my mind or on papers, so what i find myself doing is giving up on a lot of things... I just want to be able to focus on one thing, I know that I am intelligent, but I don't understand why my mind is extremely active and wont let me process things one at a time.
J'ai vecu a montreal jusqu'a l'age de dix ans! Thank you for your comment and offer. What a great thing to be coaching people with ADD/ADHD. Not sure if you read my post 'Undiagnosed ADD', it explains a little why I think I have it. I would love to have a webcam/telephonic coaching session especially since it is very hard to find someone specialized in adult ADD here in Saudi. Frankly with increased responsibility, it is becoming even more important for me to find a solution. I am getting ready to travel on a trip mid december-jan and would love to schedule an appointment for when I'm back.. will do that through your site. Looking forward to it:) Good luck in your work.
All the Best,
Haya
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I have ADD, I am sure it was probably ADHD as a child. I have no control over what my mind wants to do. My biggest problem is focusing on one thing long enough to complete it. I cannot read a page of a book without a million distractions, I have been trying to school, but I am so frustrated because I am unable to keep up with any reading. My mind wants to do a lot of things once in a while. I feel tremendous frustration when I have to ... Ok, I cannot go on right now, I don't feel like writing right now... sorry
