"I was repulsed by math because it challenged me so much. I distracted myself with the subject matter around it, because I was interested in words and could connect with language. This interplay of exhaustion, panic, guilt and defeat is a frightful symphony. In my experience, this is the emotional soundtrack of ADHD." In the article entitled 'My daughter has my eyes, my hair and my ADHD' author Eileen Hoenigman Meyer talks about her own experience with ADHD and how she copes with her daughter's own ADHD diagnosis. "I thought there was a special language — a brightness — that the other children in my classes shared with the teachers. They were “in the know.” They got it. I struggled in a fog for reasons I could neither understand nor explain." (To continue reading the rest of this article from The Washington Post, click here.)
