It makes sense, doesn't it, that we often see obsessing and ruminating as part of living with ADHD? After all, most of us have hyperactive minds, if not bodies to match, and our brain needs to be in hyper mode much of the time. So if there's nothing particularly pressing to think about, then ...

    I must say, we really enjoyed the story about the car.

    In response to your very detailed and honest article which gave a clear insight into just a minor part of living with ADHD. I would like to ask your permission to use this as part of a talk I am giving to tutors and staff at my college. I studied Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia & ADHD main study), in the UK and in Houston and have continued my research on a private basis.

    We are however experiencing many new problems with ADD/ADHD that have to be understood. I have realised that many tutors and staff do not have the time for study on a subject that at this point, has not been part of their remit or interest however; this is no longer the case and that it must be addressed.

    I would love to use the scenario you have given as just one example that I could adapt into a questionnaire that maybe those that do not want to know or especially for those that do; some familiar link to own quandaries that we all feel when having to purchase such an important item, also one that is probably going to be a large chunk of anyone's budget raising the same issues.  Can anyone please help with the details of the Behavouiral Intervention Form? We have nothing like this in the U.K. yet, only assessments and Senco reports, all mainly centered around Dyslexia but I know that we are now needing this type of document to be included in our students documents; not only for ADD/ADHD, but other learning difficulties OCD etc.

     Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
