Me again. I am 31 and also believe i have adhd. I am awaiting an appointment for diagnosis. At present i am very depressed. I have struggled through peer relationships and other adhd related problems forever. I have always felt like the odd one out. Appearing silly to my former classmates, though being very bright. Have never felt accepted by my peers. Really hope a diagnosis helps. I want to make something of myself. And be a better mother to my adhd son and 3 other kids.

Hi! Bryan, i really look forward to reading your book. My son was diagnosed with adhd prior to his 13th birthday, though i believed he had long before, and i really had to push for the diagnosis. He has pushed himself all the way through primary/elementary school despite his struggles with innatention and peer problems, and teachers who were not very understanding or sympathetic. Hopefully now he will get more support from his health and educational professionals, though he has always had my support.

ADDrienne,

Welcome! Glad to have you, your thoughts and your voice!

When my book is published I will send all those who have commented a personal email of announcement. Many have already sent me emails asking for notification, so I can easily extend that to commenter’s.

Again, welcome and thank you!

Wow! I am a new “fan” I am also very interested in reading about your story. When we were kids, there was no awareness of ADHD.

David–I think it’s absolutely fantastic that you care about your daughter so much to try and understand her point of view!

Hi Don!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. The appreciative nature of my visitors really makes this Blog worth it. Expect a December release date of the book. I will most certainly announce the publication here and would like to ask all visitors to, please, help me get the word out about my book and Blog to your friends. For those with myspace friends, please, send out a bulletin with a link back here? That would be wonderfully nice.

Thanks!

Bryan

Having been diagnosed with ADD at age 59 (I’m now 62) I have lived a lot of what Bryan will likely describe. My best wishes for your success with the book as any additional information out there that will help people understand ADD/ADHD can only be a blessing.
