So I keep reading about some of the typical issues involved with ADHD. I continue to run across articles saying CYCLING is a sport highly recommended to help alleviate the symptoms. Some even say it fills that Impulsivity void we have. I just can't believe how much things are starting to make sense now. From the explosive anger moments to reading 5 books at a time, good lord I wish I had know this about 15 years ago. I'm not complaining though.

I do realize I'm going to have to rid myself of a lot of my preconceived notions about my rocky elementary and high school years. It was a horrible experience really; I was so frustrated with everything that I literally made bubble pictures on my SAT back in high school There is a point when you just can't fight it anymore and you just give in the to "bad student" label. All I can say is by all means if you suspect your kids of having ADHD, please have them evaluated and don't put them through the emotional roller coaster I had to go through. I think its worse for girls too, bc we already have issues with image and self esteem. Throwing a learning issue into the mix really screws with your confidence.
