    Hello from College Station, TX

    Your story is uplifting. I was diagnosed just this year and have a five year old son, but he is more like a three year old. He is the sweetest ball of energy. We both have ADHD. Right now I am on 9 different medications and still feel horrible. I cannot IMAGINE how I would feel if I came...
