I am a 41 year old mother who has two wonderful boy's that I dear to my heart and soul, who both had ADHD and ADD. I have been going throut this for 15 years and I feel that I could be a wonderful person in helping other's that have these Challeneges. I have worked very hard on giving the support to whom that needs it and I have been getting close to all the group.

Thomas is my oldest and he has ADHD/ODD/Mulitiable disabilities. Thomas had these problems since birth,but I have come to realize, and learned that this isn't going away and that we have to deal with these Challeneges, as he gets older and brighter. Thomas is a very smart and like I just said bright he has a girlfriend of 4 years and they are doing well. Thomas is going into 10 grade this year and have a time of his "LIFE". Since Thomas has been in school he has not been in any trouble Knock on Wood for that. He has three more years before in is walking down with his school mates, I can't wait. He is also waiting upon on getting his driving License.

And now James. James is my youngest and he is 11 years old. James has struggles in alot of things but we are working on that with him as well as the school district.It hasn't been easy getting through this school year with him due to the fact that he is have problems, on keeping his mind on things. James was just full diagnosed that he has ADD so I am up againest two not one anymore. But I feel with all the training that I had taken through the state I can handle anything that come fourth. Yes it is a big struggle for me @ times but that doesn't mean that I am going to give up on them.I didn't ask for this to happen to them and either did they but it's here and we are going to deal with all of it because we can.Our family stay together quit well and that makes it easy.

And has for me I am a mom that has a learning disability, and I have a gift to help other people. I enjoy work with people who have disabilities,and it really doesn't matter in which problem. I will support and guide them in a direction, that will make them feel comfortable to talk to me.So this is where we all become friends & family right here in this group.

Thank You Maryanne
