Open Up & Be Honest About ADD
I was talking this week with friends about their teenager being diagnosed with ADD and how they were managing the situation. A point of discussion during our conversation centered on how the teen is nervous about letting other people know, especially the teachers at school.
This immediately reminded me of a post I put up on this site on August 8th 2007 called “Coming Out of The Closet”. In that I touched base on my nervousness about telling others about ADD and how pleasantly surprised I was by peoples reactions……well, most people. There will always be a couple closed minded individuals out there and we are all better of without them anyway 
Coming clean with the fact that you or someone close to you has ADD will only help improve a relationship or situation. In my friends case, they have a meeting with their child’s teacher soon and that will allow them to work together to strategize on ways to assist in managing ADD and ensuring the best educational experience and results are achieved.
We must keep the channels of communication open in all aspects of life, it makes a big difference and always takes you to a better place.
