ADHD moments can be frustrating but also revealing. Tell me your most memorable ADHD moment. It could be in school, home, work or play. Don't be shy.

Your stories are common and thread together through your frustrations. What many of you are experiencing is the processing difficulty of ADHD. This is what happens when individuals have not had the chance for remediation. Therefore, if you have children with these same difficulties make sure you get them the proper remediation early so they do not have to suffer in the same way as you are now.

The good news for adults is that it is never too late to get what you need to remediate these challenges. Go to www.altaread.org and find a certified academic language therapist to create new neuropathways for learning. You will increase your comprehension and the ability to write well. This will benefit you in all areas of your life. This is not a bogus claim. I do this work everyday and see its results with people of all ages.

Tell me how your life would be different if these areas of your life were improved. How have you compensated for this weakness up until now? Do you believe that you can change your situation? Do not be shy in sharing. Your experience may help someone else.

I have been working with adults with ADHD for years now and I always seem to find out something new everyday. I have found the following

- Greatest strengths are usually the ability to see the big picture.
- Great personalities and can be the life of the party.

- They seem to get stuck when things don't go there way.
- Have difficulty following through.
- Can believe that they are always right and everyone else doesn't know what they are talking about.

- When first diagnosed may believe that medication is for others and not themselves.

What do you believe about adult ADHD? What are your struggles? What have been your greatest achievements? Surprise me again with your great ADHD story.
I just wanted everyone to know about our upcoming seminars in Southern California. The response has been good. We will be covering parenting the ADHD child, the up's the down's and everything in between. Let me know your most difficult parenting questions in raising these children.
