Hi, Sharon:
Although your son sounds in some significant ways like mine, I know your son may be quite different and perhaps others have some advice that would work NOW.
THE MOST USEFUL ADVICE anyone gave us was that 1) research showed that parents…
Hi Sharon,
I just saw this message of yours. I will PM you when I get a chance, I am on the run right now... well, not that kind of run - just a sec, let me look, nope, not being chased, I just have to be somewhere very soon. However, just want to…
My son, ABK, manages in school with decent grades as long as someone is helping him structure his time. He also has a wonderful sense of humor and can be surprisingly intuitive.
ABK transitions from one task to another very slowly. He would be happ…
I also adJust the amount of adderral to the demands of my day. My physician suggested that I take the same amount each day, however, there are some days that I want to sleep in or just veg for the day.
OMG... I SO IDENTIFY!
During the early 70's, all my friends were smoking pot. I tried it but it didn't do anything for me. My friends used to say that they needed to be stoned in order to communicate with me when I was staight!
I was not diagnosed with ADD until my 40's…
Would you mind telling me about the main points of this book? There is so much more practicle information that I need to deal with right now but am very curious about this book. Thank you.
A place to talk about books we have read which have helped us cope and improve ourselves.
What are the side affects of the non-stimulants onces your body is adjusted?
Same thing happens to me, I just keep a stick of Burts Bee's on me. Does the trick each time.
I was at a party this evening and one of my friends asked why I kept licking my lips. I also noticied this happending another time. My mouth was extremely dry as it always is at the end of the day after the adderral has worn off. However, I was enjo…
Melissa, I totally relate to the emotional stress taking a toll. I am sorry to hear about your son. I cannot imagine being without mine, the loss must feel overwhelming. The stupid thing about ADD is that the loss of sleep caused by the emotional st…
Boy an I weigh in on this one , now I choose not to take medication for my ADD , how ever I will say this that long term stress really messes with my ADD , my biggest thing is long term emotional stress - for example I just went through a yr long cu…
Profile Information
- About me & Relation to ADHD or other condition?
- I was looking for a reason that my marriage fell apart and had heard about "Driven to Distraction". I was convinced that my ex-husband was ADD but saw myself in this book as well. I always had very classic ADD symptoms as a female and now understand why my life is not as predictable as most of my peers.

Wow, a major player! My head is swelling as we speak!
I'm not sure of your question, though. Where do you want to go?

DANA said… - Hello & Welcome Sharon! After my son was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, I was suspecting that I had ADHD. I read a terrific book called Woman and Attention Deficit Disorder by Sari Solden. While I was reading the book, it was as if I was reading all about myself!
Eventually, when I was in my 30's, I was evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD. Many years later, both of my daughter's have been diagnosed with either ADD or ADHD. So now my household has a mom with ADHD (me) and 3 kids with ADD/ADHD. As you can only imagine, there is NEVER a dull moment in our home!!!

Steven Charles said… - Hey Sharon,
Good to meet you, & yes, we're neighbors... So, are you just beginning to think you are ADD, or have you been officially diagnosed, and being "treated", or should I say, "seen"?
I self-diagnosed myself while watching a 60 Minutes report on adult ADD, and seeing a father of an ADD kid, realizing that he was just like that as a kid, and still had the signs in his own life.
Well, I went "that's me"! I've since been seeing a few psychiatrists, not simultaneously, at Kaiser, & diagnosed, for about 10 or so years now. It really hasn't made a great impact in my life, beyond at least knowing better what & why I behave, & think as I do, and the Adderall I take does help prevent my brain from slipping into a fog... Hasn't necessarily done much for improving timeliness & getting things done....
