It's so funny that I decided to come here today and read up on some things and found this post! I'm not an ADD/HD Mom and I don't have kids with the disorder but my Hubby does and reading what you have to say does help. I can apply it to my situation and help DH better understand and make his life easier. Anyway, Jer is having issues with co-workers and his disorder. He is able to focus more and he's noticing a lot of things that he would not catch because he was so "locked in" at the task at hand. His guys aren't enjoying that at work! Also, because he's not as hungry, he's been working through lunch at work, trying to get caught up on things and his bosses' are commenting that they think the medicine isn't doing him any good!!! Grrr! They're not realizing that it hasn't CHANGED him, but made him able to do his job BETTER than he was before with less stress. Lucky for Jer, the General Manager at work also has ADHD and was diagnosed 20 years ago, so he told the owners where to go and set them straight! LOL I was just thinking how MORE people need to be educated and understand better and voila' you have a post about the SAME thing :) Go figure! EVERYONE needs to be educated! Leslie Brenda,
