""The Scourge," said my daughter when she was ten. I agree with her. I also know the science is clear that whatever gifts a person has, they are not connected with AD/HD. My kid hadn't read that at age ten and in fact thinks Ned…"

Is it a gift or a challenge or a disease? What do you think?

I think that ADHD is a gift... Gifts need to be unwrapped and sometimes thats how I think we are... busy being untied and unwrapped.
