"AD/HD makes simple tasks like returning phone calls or emails and paying bills more difficult for me... but ADD is not all negative. It's part of me and I'm proud of who I am. There are always things I need to improve, but the energy and charisma that are also part of having ADD make me who I am and have helped me in my sport."

Olympic Gold Medalist and captain of the

"Through education you gain an under-standing of what you have been struggling with all your life. You begin to develop a new sense of self respect and pride which allows you to stop hiding and make choices that allow you to live increasingly in your areas of strength. You begin to develop a new concept of yourself as a strong and whole individual with differences."
