My name is Ralph Hoffmann, a 40 year old adult with ADHD. I recently found this out over the past 7months during 2008 and unfortuantely have gone through lots of unfortunate situations with my non married to female partner and our lovely son Eric (4/12). We each live here in Westchester COunty, NY yet unfortuately in different places after 2/12 years. Trying to be the never quitting, tough and positive, yet of course moody person often having too many (ANTs-- The well none Dr. Amen's Acronym Always Neg Thoughts) which I'm trying my best to not create!. Anyhow, just wanted to say hello and would like to ask you if I may add you to my ADDWorld friends list. By the way how long have you been licensed Psychotherapist/ADHD consultant specializing in ADHD of Adults. Do you focus on "women with ADHD or both female and Male Adults " ? Well have a great remaining Friday and a great "Warm" and healthy weekend wherever you may be/live.

Yours truly
Ralph Hoffmann
Feel free to visit and get in touch via "Facebook"

For a second, I was really getting scared...... But as usual, the Steelers stepped it up a notch and made another victory! Pittsburgh is definitely celebrating today!

Well, it IS physiological -- she is ILL. See Chuck Parker's list of ailments and she's got a half dozen of them. Some have made her sick and some are the result of the life of stress she's lived.

Don't anybody forget that the brain is a body part. She's not in school, probably will just skip high school, but rescued a horse 48 hours before being shipped to certain death in a Canadian slaughterhouse, and she receives training and trains him. A match made in heaven and helath is returning, though slowly.

You keep turning up wherever I am -- or vice versa. I am glad you are here, m'dear. This seems to be a place of warmth and decency and information. And intelligence. I am sure your participation contributes.

Oh! And have EYE got news about my kid!! Wowee!

At 6:27am on December 24, 2008, Bob Harrington said…: Hi Terry, that bubble calendar is neat. I'd be afraid of getting ahead of myself. I don't know if I'd be able to pop just one at a time! :) BTW, thank you for your comments on my pictures. I try to work on my photography when I'm not working in retail, and dealing with an almost 16 year old son with ADHD and major impulse issues.

At 8:53pm on December 23, 2008, Bob Harrington said…: BTW, I did a review on a gadget I think you would like. Here's the link to the review on my blog.

'The Devil Made Me Do It'

At 8:45pm on December 23, 2008, Bob Harrington said…: Welcome, Terry. I'm a regular reader of your newsletters. Always look forward to checking out any of the new gadgets. Glad you joined this growing family. I'm an artist as well. I do photography, but I've been known to sketch from time to time.

At 3:30pm on December 23, 2008, Lizard (aka, Butthead) said…: UHMMMM, hahaha, Terry, but SWEET is not a word that I ever remember anyone calling me or accusing me of being! Thanks for that! So what instrument(s) do you play?

I play the guitar, drums, and believe it or not, the trombone(which feels at times like it will cause me to have an anyerism!). I like music, most kinds even classic. Music soothes this savage soul for sure!

At 9:27am on December 23, 2008, Sara said…: Thank you so much for the info on sensory. My whole life I thought I was the only person in the world who had "noise issues." I will continue to look at your website for more info. Thank you, again.

At 5:00am on December 23, 2008, Bryan Hutchinson said…: That's absolutely, positively fantastic! Thank you very much!

Yeah, guitar hero is GREAT for the nieces and nephews of mine... yeah, for them, of course! :)

At 5:43pm on December 22, 2008, Lizard (aka, Butthead) said…: Hey, there is also an art group on this site, it would be cool to see some of yours if you want to post there!

At 5:42pm on December 22, 2008, Lizard (aka, Butthead) said…: I enjoy your email newsletter also, thanks for making it easy to find gadgets for those of us that are time challenged! The whole concelpt of time still eludes me often, but with some of the bells and whistles I found on your links, I am getting better at managing it all the time!
