Just a few comments. On the comment about the person with ADD having so much going on in their own brain that they miss the social cues etc. other things going on in the external world I just want to say that is so very true. As an adult with ADD, before diagnosis when others commented on some of those things I totally missed I often wondered what was wrong with me that I was so oblivious to things that were so obvious to others. Post diagnosis, with medication, and treatment, I've learned that those things are not so important. Surely, there are times when it's important in some circumstances to attend to those cues i.e. when you area at the airport and need to attend to the calls for boarding so you don't miss your flight, but its not important for me to pick up those external things all the time. I guess I'd say it is a combination of acceptance and coping. I don't let it bother me that I often miss a lot of those external things others see so obviously, and I've learned to recognize for the most part the situations where I need to attend to those external cues more.

I was able to listen while I was getting my classroom ready for Back to School Night. It has been a switch to think of my AD/HD as a gift. In addition, two out of my three children have AD/HD and it has been more difficult to deal with their gifts, especially in the mornings. I liked Dr. Kevin's explainations and suggestions for dealing with children and adults. I will be trying many of these suggestions with my children, students and myself.
