Thank you all for this discussion. Payne, I have heard Thom Harmann on the radio many times. I didnt know he wrote a book on ADD and ADHD. I have great respect for him. So I would be very interested in what he has to say. Thank you
I am grateful to know that this is a physical thing that is not my fault. Going through school dissociated and with ADD was very interesting, to say the least. I usually wasnt really there. and when I was, I couldnt focus anyway

As someone who has a lot of anxiety, caffine makes me very jittery, I was told by my doctor that ADD medications are not indicated for me. She tends to be very careful about medications.
