I've been toying with this idea for a blog that is ADHD specific, because it's such a HUGE part of our family identity. And because it's so often misunderstood. And because I'm tired of all the "self-help" ADHD blogs, and I wanted something that was real and sometimes -- or mostly -- funny. Of course, my first entry isn't humorous exactly. Except that families with ADHD children will probably snicker at a few parts. Abby is funny, and I think her ADHD makes her less afraid to express her silly side. In fact, she's wanted her own blog for a long time. She finally decided on the topic and name: Super Silly Stuff. I love that. I love that she looks at the world through rose-colored glasses. She always sees the best in everyone, and she's super compassionate. Except you wouldn't know it at first glance because she can come off as cold and distant (the distracted) or just plain undisciplined (the hyperactive). But to know her is to love her, and I know this is true of lots of ADHD children and adults. If we are patient enough to get to know them, because these relationships take time not to mention every single fruit of the spirit you can muster.
Most of the people who read my blog are close friends and family. I'm sharing this blog about Abby here in the hopes you will share it with others who might be dealing with this or similar neurological disorders. What I ask in return is your respect for Abby -- because me writing about her isn't embarrassing but talking about her ADHD is, so please out of respect for her, do not share these stories with her peers. :-)
And, this blog is very, very new, so it doesn't have much personality. Bear with me!
