ADHD does not have to limit anyone in anyway. If you have ADHD/ADD you can rest assured that it is not something that will limit you or hold you back from doing anything. If you learn to take advantages of your strengths you probably can reach the stars. I have lived 42 years to this point with ADD know that it is not something to be ashamed of or something that can be used as an excuse for life's struggles. All of us with ADHD may have to to work a little harder to keep things in order and to achieve our goals but everyone has to work hard to succeed anyway. This blog is going to be my attempt to lead anyone who wants to get the most out of their live while learning to overcome the obstacles that come along with a diagnosis of ADHD. The information profided my come from research studies, publications or psychology experts but most of it will come from me, and be based on my own journey dealing with ADHD. I was not diagonosed with ADHD until I was about 30 years old so I have seen both sides of life with and without treatment. I didn't grow up on medication or have special treatment or assistance to help with school or work and often life was very much a struggle. I would like others to not have to spend so many years living on what seemed like a never stopping treadmill. Everything I say will be honest and as truthful as can be and if I write about my own experience it will be my reality and how I dealt with certain issues. Remember, however, that we are all different and what has worked for me may not work for you or anyone else. The most important thing for anyone to do regarding ADHD is to become more educated about all things ADD, choosing the right help, and developing a much greater self awareness in order to monitor the positive or negative results of treatment. Your comments and ideas are welcomed and the more solutions that people have available to them, the more likely they will find the right one for their specific situation.
