ADD, if treated correctly, turns out to be a gift. Where I was once embarrassed to be identified as having the disorder, I am now proud to be among the gifted few. I think of it like an odd superpower; it’s the geek in me, I know, but bear with me on this one. I receive certain abilities, (hyper-focus, compassion, creativity) balanced by negatives, (disorganization, distraction, comorbidities). By focusing on how to identify the benefits of this attention management issue while learning how to manage the drawbacks I have an almost unfair advantage over others. Redefining treatment to enhance the benefits of the “disorder” while building lifelong coping mechanisms to manage the negatives is a way for us to not only tap our unique gifts, but help others in identifying the potential locked in what was once considered a social, personal, educational, and societal deficiency.

I did go to family Dr. at the request of my parents. Dr said well, maybe they are right. I went to a specialist and filled out pages of personal info and then waited 4 months for appoint. When to the appointment where Dr. said that yes, it appears that I suffer ADD. for him to treat me it would cost $400.00 for testing so I could be treated appropriately. (Yea right!) and he wanted to sell me a book from his web site. NO kidding! PS – My daughter was 11 months, not 11 years when her dad left, she is 11 years now.
