My Child Has ADD/ADHD? I Do Too!
"I was 31 when my 11-year-old son was diagnosed. But I didn’t get a formal diagnosis and go on medication until I was 41. I thought I could handle ADHD on my own. Boy, was I wrong." -Maria, Oregon
"I wasn’t diagnosed until 42. I was working with high school students who had attention problems, and I realized I had the same problems. I have been medicated since." -Susie Johnson, Branson, Missouri
"After I had kids and had to juggle everyone’s schedule. Even though I was overwhelmed, I still felt the need to volunteer for everything, because I saw myself as Super Mom. I am over 40 now and tired of being pulled in so many directions. I went on medication and found that my compulsion to say yes was greatly reduced. Yeah!" -Rebecca, Downingtown, Pennsylvania
"Right after my son was diagnosed. I had all the symptoms he exhibited. It explained why I couldn’t accomplish much and felt overwhelmed all the time." -Suzy, Connecticut
