Whitney you're absolutely right, because ADHD is an invisible condition, people are often more quick to judge. Alan - congratulations to you! My son will be happy to hear that someone "the net" agrees with him. Keep up the studying and good luck as you finish your degree. Thank you Whitney and Alan.

Hopefully you are still able to receive the treatment your family deserves. As someone who has been diagnosed and is taking medication for ADHD, I agree 100% with your 5-year-old's assessment of his medicine. Last night I sat and studied a very difficult Physics text book for over two hours straight. I would have NEVER been able to do that if it weren't for the positive effects of this medication I am taking. I can't imagine making it through college without having seen a doctor to help get myself and my mind "under control." Keep up the good work. You are doing a great public service by getting this information out to the public. Melissa,

We have the same problem at our house, and this is one of the reasons I started the LD Podcast- to help moms and dads understand learning disabilities as well as how to treat them; strategies to help the kids succeed. It's hard having a child and have people constantly assume your parenting is defective if your child isn't ready for the country club. I think it is the thing that makes having a child with a less visible disability tough- people can't see the problem like if a child is in a wheelchair, so therefore, any problems must be ours. I take solice in the fact many of the most judgmental people don't yet have their own kids. Thank you for writing this.
