ADD / ADHD Stories
I started the Living with ADD website back more than 15 Years ago. This was before there were social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. I started it as a way for people with ADD / ADHD to connect with each other for Support and Education. The Living with ADD Stories section became a HUGE…
Kate Kelly
Last night the ADD / ADHD Community lost an amazing member of our community. Kate Kelly was a leader and pioneer in the Adult ADD / ADHD Community. Back in 1993 Kate Kelly along with her best friend Peggy Ramundo wrote the ground breaking book "You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!". This was…

Men with ADHD – Jim’s Story
I never fit in as a child in school. I was constantly beaten bullied and picked on. I asked for help over and over but nothing. My parents did not care that I was in the highest 1% in aptitude tests(verbal skills lagging behind, the only exception) and my grades were terrible all the way…
Women with ADHD – Julie’s Story
I could not understand the cycles. I have so many interests and what I call "brief but intense enthusiasms," so I’d get involved in a variety of projects (all good things).

Women with ADHD – Rhonda’s Story
Like so many of you, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, at the age of 39. It answered a lot of questions for me about my childhood, and the way I lived my life up to that point. Let me try to explain, as my story will probably sound familiar, at least to a point.…
Men with ADHD : Ryan’s Story
Im a 30 year old male, who has lived with ADD through all my life, and really am sick of it. Throughout my grade school years, I had trouble with focusing in on my teachers and couldnt help day dreaming. In the first grade I was a little ahead in math, but had trouble with…
