The Injustice of ADHD Makes Me Furious
"Our society touts hard work and self-regulation, but people who master these traits aren’t necessarily exceptional individuals — they’ve just got great brain chemistry. I'm realizing how much this condition has held me back and I AM ANGRY."
Tired of Always Fighting with the School
"My 13-year-old grandson is a mess, but dealing with his school makes it that much harder. When he was late the other day, the nurse said he missed the window to take his medication — and then he got in trouble for his behavior." FRUSTRATED
A Friend Told Me I Use ADD as a "Crutch"
"Then she started listing all the things I need to fix or do differently. I got mad at her, but also at myself, because I spend so much time trying to 'fix' myself and nothing seems to help." I AM TRYING
Torn About My Child's Kindergarten Readiness
"My son turns five in June and I don't think he'll be ready for full-day kindergarten next year. Luckily, our school district offers a transitional kindergarten — but only for children born Sept.-Dec., and they will not make an exception for my son." FEELING STUCK
A Cursory, Incorrect Diagnosis
"I finally got an appointment with a psychiatrist, but was seen by the nurse practitioner instead. She saw me for 20 minutes, dismissed my concerns about ADHD, and diagnosed me with bipolar." WHAT TO DO?
"Inclusion" Class Segregates Special-Ed Students?
"In the first grade 'inclusion' class at my children's school, the special-education students are pulled out and instructed separately. It seems like this shouldn't be happening — am I correct? And how to talk to the school about it?" CONCERNED
