That is all we can do. Do you follow on twitter? let me know it's you, I'll follow you back. If Interest pick up. I may start a ADDmom forum here for readers, but for now I'm keeping it this way.

I was diagnosed w/ADD last year and my grandma who raised me said she would probably have been diagnosed with it when she was a kid if they had talked about such things then. I have a daughter who I am 98% sure has ADD too and we are talking to her doc. I want to make sure that she doesn't go through all the things I did as a child but worry about how I do that when I am just trying figuring out this stuff too? I can so relate to this.
