Greetings!
 Thanksgiving: Food, family, festivity, football, and fun. An array of F's. As Thanksgiving approaches, I have to admit I've been through some tough times of late, as I'm sure some of you have, as well. Do we want to give thanks, or ask for help? As I reflect on it, of course, the answer is both. Like most people, indeed I would say all people, I need help. But also, like all people, I have more to give thanks for than I usually reckon.

Q: Dr. Hallowell, we know you have both ADHD and dyslexia. What got you through your years of schooling?
A: I didn't "get through" Exeter, Harvard, and medical school, I thrived in those environments because, despite that I read slowly, often got sidetracked, thought outside the mainstream, and often wandered off mentally, I always had some project, some subject, some idea, some relationship, some new undertaking I felt excited about. I always dug until I found something, anything, that could combat the tedium of ordinary life. I believe there is another layer to life, if we will but search it out. This second layer is rich with possibilities and surprises, short on directions and instructions, fraught with chances to fail, but also filled with opportunities to thrive. An abiding devotion to that second level, and a God-given ability to find it, is what propelled me to a joyful and productive life.

I Am a 14 Year Old Boy with ADHD
|
 My name is Matt and I have ADHD. I am a 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed about three and a half years ago. I was put on medication and continue to take it now. Although the medication helps, it doesn't fully solve all the issues of my ADHD. I still struggle with academics and behavioral problems, but I'm learning to overcome these struggles. It has taken me three years to finally understand the whole aspect of ADHD. When I read Dr. Hallowell's article, "WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE ADHD?" it really clicked. The article made me realize that I am different, but it also taught me that it is OK to be different. Read More |
