Gentle Readers,

Regular readers should be aware of the fact that we are working with my daughter with regard to some learning challenges she has. One of these issues is the possibility of ADD (without the hyperactivity). I've been wondering if maybe this is something that is coming to her from my contribution to her genetic code and if perhaps I have this issue myself.

The fact that I was wondering this in the middle of holding pads for my kickboxing partner and kept forgetting the pattern I was supposed to be holding for might be a bit of a giveaway.

Definitely worth getting yourself tested!

Julie found it useful to have a diagnosis. She was able to do a lot of reading around and find useful strategies (handy being a psychology PhD!) and has now managed to get herself onto medication which makes her much more able to concentrate for long periods.

I'm not recommending medication unless you have real concentration issues, but just knowing whether you should be going out and reading about ADD strategies for adults would probably be a good motivator.
