They it diagnosed me with 22 years. One of the things that I thought during a lot of time was that I was not serving for anything and that it would never come to anything, less evil that in the end went out what it had and I could put remedy. Now I have gone out of the University and I am the happiest person of the ground, I have studied Audio-visual Communication and can be employed at the cinema behind the cameras….. But there does not forget me the Calvary that I have spent and the useless thing that was feeling!.

I’m Canadian. Does anyone know of a high school in Victoria B.C. that would be good for my son who is ADD and dyslexic but very artistic. Tx

It’s a HUGE relief to know that someone like ty has the same thing my oldest has. I felt like i was “alone” in this battle. My oldest just last yr was diagnosed with adhd. She’s now on meds cause of it and i see a BIG change in her. Now that i KNOW ty has adhd he’s my role model. seeing where he is NOW i know that my oldest can be like him and being “successful!”

Ty
I tried to open the video from Ty. I have a dear friend who has a son we are very worried about. He locks himself in his room all day. He is 20 years old and we cannot seem to get him to get help. ADHD has struck 3 other family members in the past and none received help in the past. He is extremely depressed and talks about violence all the time. We are frightened of him as it is right now and his parents have taken him to one place and they said he needs help right away but he will not make a move on his behalf. They have to remove him from their home because they are affraid of him and have given him 30 days to get some help for himself. It is killing his mom (breaking her heart). We just thought if he could hear Ty’s story he may hear some hope for himself because of right now he see’s no help for himself. Can you send the video to my in my email. We don’t know where to go and he cannot stay at home because we consider him dangerous to his parents and himself because of this present talks with us. HELP if possible.

Thank you so much Ty, for helping me take back my life….

Linda,
You certainly have been through a lot. I hope you are still read Dr. Handelman’s site and will read this. ADHD does not have to be a disability or a sentence to a mediocre life. We just have to realize that we can do anything everyone else can. In fact, in many ways we can do it better. We just do it differently. I found that when I realized that “normal” is not something to aspire to, then it really began to open doors for me.

Just a little about my background. I work for a security contract, am a firefighter, have taught Emergency Management classes for two universities, and run several online sites. I do not say thing to brag. I only write these things to say that it is possible to be successful with ADHD.

Can you suggest where I can find another copy of Ty’s talk about his ADHD? Being that my son has ADHD, my mom told me that she saw it on TV and how amazing it was. My son, who’s 9, is on medication for ADHD but doesn’t quite understand it and gives me a hard time taking his meds everyday. I thought that showing him the clip from an adult who’s been through similar experiences, he might get a clearer picture and appreciate the help that he’s receiving as opposed to fighting it on a daily basis.

I look forward to you reply. Thank you.
