When Jeff wrote “…one more thing. Please ignore this “Rebecca” lady. She thinks she’s got A.D.D. disease and refuses to acknowledge that it does not exist,” Jeff is really mocking the deformed logic of Bob Collier and Dr. Baughman.”

Rebecca writes: “I was closing out on this, and happened to see this response.. Okay, I have egg on my face.. My apologies! Even though I was upset at the comment, I had visited Jeff’s blog and did actually appreciate his comments that challenged the Naysayers!

The problem with the internet, sometimes sarcasm or witt may be lost, and of course we ADHDR’s are ultra sensitive.. So again, I apologize, for my lack of sense of humor and taking this personal!”

I apologize profusely for any pain my comment may have caused. It was not meant to be taken seriously but was meant as a tongue-in-cheek remark.

I lived with A.D.D. for 46 years before it was diagnosed so I understand what it is like to live and struggle with it on a daily basis.

And I hope it is obvious in my writings on both Dr. Baughman and Bob Collier that I consider them both to be frauds.

Jeff

The double negative is what has me.. are you saying that somehow I don’t accept the disorder I suffer from as real?

I hope that isn’t what you are saying!

To put your mind at rest, I have been professionaly diagnosed. And Yes, I do embrace it.

Jeff, It is difficult enough to suffer every day from this disorder and to deal with the Naysayers out there, and when I saw your comment, I became very disheartened. That someone, who also has struggled with ADD/HD, would disredit another’s pain so quickly, and without even taking the time to reach out to know me, or my beliefs.

Jeff, my hope is that those who face the challenges of this disorder everyday will be able to unite, and let our voices be heard to the people who can make a difference. Bring more education and knowledge to the Schools, the teachers, so that they may better understand how to embrace our gifts, help us turn our challenges into opportunity. To teach us to better learn how to manage our day to day lifes.

To help us learn that we do not have to be ashamed, as there is nothing to be ashamed of. So the parents no longer have to feel guilt

Jeff, I take Adderall - It works for me, but it took me a long time to understand and appreciate that I don’t have to be ashamed to take that medication. It is a good choice for me. just as other choices work for others.

Jeff, it took me a very LONG time to become diagnosed, and for a long time I was misdiagnosed. That caused me more harm than good.. But, the hardest part of living with ADHD, isn’t so much living with it, but actually is society.. them, not understanding what I face every day, and not acknowledging.

So, I hope you can understand, that having another person who Has ADHD, make a claim as you did was very dissapointing.

Thanks for the opportunity for allowing me to share
All the best
Rebecca
