2009 – Another Year of ADD/ADHD

Posted by Jeff on December 31, 2008 · View Comments

I'd like to thank all of you who read my blog and especially those who comment on the posts (sometimes publicly and sometimes through a private email). It is heartening to know that I am not blogging in an echo chamber. It can easily degenerate into a form of digital masturbation where the blogger is the only one getting pleasure from the posts. So I thank you for not allowing me to wallow in some A.D.D.-induced solipsistic hell.

Special thanks go to Gina Pera for her thoughtful and encouraging comments. I highly recommend that you read her blog ADHD Roller Coaster: Is it You, Me or the ADHD? and her book Is It You, Me, or A.D.D.?. The blog and book offer a well-needed, and often too sobering, view of A.D.D./A.D.H.D. Since I'm dispensing thank yous, I'd like to thank Mike Doyle of Chicago Carless. He's written some inspirational posts such as The Best Part About Having A.D.D. and sobering ones like Equal and Opposite and has also contributed comments to my posts. In addition, I'd like to thank Tara McGillicuddy of My ADD/ADHD Blog and John W. Mackenzie of Adult ADD And Money for reading my blog and linking back when you found something of value. I apologize to anyone I may have left off of this list. My A.D.D. only allows me to remember the immediate past.
