Trying to tell a story and getting a point across within a story is very difficult for someone with ADHD. We have a tendency to ramble on without ever getting to the point or at least we take a couple dozen extra, unnecessary words in order to do it – if we actually do it. Sometimes there is a simple answer, no complication at all, but we ponder and ponder from dusk till dawn on how to say it. I am no exception. I was very fortunate to write my book from great inner and outer inspiration and obligation and some of that came at a very high price, maybe too high a price. That’s an even longer story and if you have read my book, understood the meaning and purpose it has, then you know what that price was and it takes its toll. Those of us with ADHD tend to lose a lot first before we ever taste winning and yeah, we are supposed to appreciate the win that much more when it comes, but does it ever really come? It does, it really does. However, winning isn’t everything and what exactly is a win anyway?

I have been watching the announcements about how important a phone call is at 3 AM in the morning, but let’s not forget, most challenges can come at any time, day or night. ADHD is a 24 hr reality and the phone call usually will come during school hours or just after school during play time. Adults with ADHD often don’t even have someone to be called.

I found this video on youtube of Paris Hilton singing “Nothing in this world” to what seems to me to be an ADHD kid who is being bullied and ridiculed.

This is a very interesting video from Paris Hilton and it made me go “hrmmm?” I wonder what the inspiration for this video was? Paris Hilton has Attention Deficit Disorder and everyone who has read my book knows I talk about her and ADD together and my thoughts and observations. I also, of course, talk about myself growing up with undiagnosed ADD daydreaming all the time and getting bad grades in school, also about the ridicule and chastisement I suffered through as an adolescent due to my behaviors… After I watched this video it made me wonder what the inspiration was? By the way, I also sent my book to Paris Hilton, so maybe she has read it?

I found this cool video about a Dutch boy with ADHD. I thought you all might enjoy it, as much as I do. I am half Dutch, but this video has the subtitles in english

Enjoy,

My life’s struggles for the betterment of all who are touched and relate to the way our world seems to revolve around pain, hurt feelings and overwhelming self doubt. We can overcome, we are all remarkable, we can all do more, we can all love and we can all share – it’s not the end, it’s not the start, we are all in this together, you and me and all of us – we must rise up! Stand up! ..and be strong, we must know that we are better than we ever imagined we could be or thought life was putting us aside, because we are more than that, so much more than that – we are whole together, we are strong together, we achieve together and we succeed together – we help each other, we must come together as a society.

Today’s world, the speed and the necessities of it, has created a divide between parents, teachers and children. The divide has created a lot of pressure for our kids, and children who need a little extra help and understanding have more pressures than ever before.
