Adventures in ADHD

It turns out all 4 of us have ADHD Inattentive.

Kitten and I are diagnosed. The Hammer is headed down the same path - we're getting a similar vibe from her kindergarten teacher that we had from Kitten's last year. And Pants - well, he talked to his doctor about a referral but has yet to set up his appointment for an evaluation. True to form.

I've started a new blog to specifically address our lives with ADHD - ADD-Libbing (addlibbing.blogspot.com). We've struggled as a family for a long time and I've personally struggled with some issues for decades.

It's been a comfort to know what we're up against, but finding our way forward will be interesting. We're not like other families.

Well, heck. Ain't that a kick in the pants?

Not really, but I can see how knowing more about what you've struggled with/are struggling with will help a lot. I'd say I'm looking forward to reading your about your struggles, but that just sounds callous, so know that I'll be looking forward to reading about your journey and successes! :)

Knowing gets you that much farther down the path. I find that I struggle with many similar issues. I guess I am curious as to how it worked that we were able to do so much in school undiagnosed. Best of luck. My daughter is doing so much better these days, I wish you success in your journey as well.
