Hi Mary! My daughter has ADD also - she was diagnosed about 7 years before I was LOL... it's awesome though, because she finally feels like someone understands her, and I feel as though I can really help her see ADD as just another part of who she is - not as a disability. Check out the Parenting Group - it's got great resources! Glad you found us here!
Sounds to me like you are doing a great job! Yeah, I do know what you mean about looking in the mirror. ADHD is mostly hereditary. Take your time going through the site, there's a lot of information here and we have plenty of parents who have posted about their experiences.
Please let me know your thoughts on my book book :)
