I think the first day I really felt better after years of struggling with an unknown captor...was the day I read about ADD in DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION by Hallowell.
This condition is so difficult to define when I'm speaking to others about it, that I can understand some people and even clinicians doubting its' existence.
My question to those individuals is "Okay then, YOU TELL ME WHAT I HAVE if you know so much."
There is a piece of paper in my living room floor, that has been there for a few days. I can't pick it up. ADD sufferers know what I mean. Non empathetic clinicians and naysayers apparently only believe in what they can see and feel. They will probably never "get it" (what we are experiencing). Thank God there are plenty of care givers who do understand and believe
