I wish I had this info 14 years ago — when I was trying to survive in a corporate environment! Back then, I was misdiagnosed as bipolar. I was told my behaviours couldn’t be explained by this illness…basically cop on! Yes, I left that environment and fell apart without the structure! (And still in pieces)

It’s good to know my guilt, shame, avoidance, lack of structure etc. all have a label…and it’s not bad character.

These skill sets we have to learn come more natural to others. I relate this to learning to drive a manual transmission, in a foreign country, later in life. Took me a while to “get it”, but it’s now second-nature and gets me where I need to go.

Thanks for the tips, the awareness, and encouragement!

I just want to say that this is wonderful and thank you for providing this information. I am in Canada and there is not a tons of information related to Adult with ADD. I noticed that you mentioned a few times that the light and other stuff were not the best but honestly, it does not matter as we get such good information. The most important thing is to get it.

Thank you again,

Linda

hi, i want to say first that even though i continued to recieve e mails even though i never ordered the book that i first thought was just another con. (evey one is always trying to get you to buy something on the internet.) my last e mail got me on to this site and i have listened to the 5 tv episods in one evening, and i am very impressed and relieved. i live in germany, can also speak fluent german but unfortunatly when the issue is about important things. my german goes bumb. my son is 8 years old and has been diganoised with adah. fortunatly for me the system here is of very high standard, and i am now being offered a lot of well educated help. it dosent help me never-the-less in german. i look forward to the future e mails and influence from somebody i can reliat to .i have a very helpful and special sister who is my heart and soul of understanding. and i will be sending her this site, to listen to in order for our hours long of telephoning, better to understand where i am coming from, as she has herself a wonderfull uncomplicated daughter,and finds it easy to help me, but my siuation with great difficulty. this is for me a magor breakthrough and look forward to the next tv epesoid. this is the best help that ive recieved up to now. thank you kenny
