Hi Fred,
My son Aaron, is 12
and was diagnosed with ADHD
back when he was in 1st grade. He has taken Adderall in
increasing amounts since.
He just realized that he has a
"Condition" and is facing
"Alternative" middle school as
well as high school. He just
doesn't fit will in large
classes with lots of
opportunities to act out and
stir things up because he is
bored.
When he realized he had a
"Condition" that was so
idiotically put by his teacher
as a learning disability and
that he "Needed to be put in a
class that came under the
"Special Education" Umbrella",
Aaron went nuts.
He was sent home for causing a
disruption in class and
started asking questions of
how he got this and why he has
to live with it.
Well I "RAN" to the computer
and "Googled" notable people
with ADHD and found your site
with the list of people and
the pic of your poster and I
printed up that whole page and
took off for his moms home
where I found him quite
distraught.
Aaron is the kind of kid that
dreads school but can pull an
engine apart and build models
and can follow directions.
After I showed him the printed
pages of your site and the
small pic of your poster he
was in awe of people who had
achieved greatness in spite of
their "Condition"
He sat squinting at the pics
picking out who he knew on it.
So, we bought the poster to
put on the wall in his room to
remind him that ADHD is no
reason for failure and that
many people were able to not
only overcome but exceed
beyond wildest expectations!
Thank you for taking the
time to make the poster and
the list and site along with
the lesson course.
Anyway, thank you for what
you've done!!!
