Short ADHD article

http://www.sacbee.com/273/story/1229847.html

This article does not even begin to touch the teeniest tip of the truth about the matter. But an article like this is so much better than none at all. I am really starting to feel like awareness of adult ADHD needs to be raised by 1000%. Of course I am still in the process of raising my OWN awareness!

ADHD

OK, I can write a little bit about ADHD I guess.

One thing about living with a person with ADHD: Quite often I'll open the toaster oven to find a forgotten piece of toast or leftover chicken wings. And when I open the microwave I'll see a long-cold bowl of soup or a dried-out burrito. Usually in the morning I wake to find food left out on the counter instead of covered or refrigerated. The amount of food I have had to throw away lately is staggering.

There. That's one thing. I have to start small or I'll get overwhelmed.
