You should definitely pickup a book about ADD, I believe the knowledge I gained from reading up on the disorder helped as much as the meds. I found that what I believed was my own lazy, selfish and odd way of thinking were very common in ADDer's.
I hope you feel a little better about yourself soon  |
I agree with this. But my issue comes in where I have realized my own shortfall because of ADD. How do you explain to someone to who does not other understand and wants an explanation. I had this situation with my father a couple weeks ago. My mother is easy going and will accept things. But my father wants hardcore reasons why, some I just cannot validate or answer.
