In My Own Words

I live in Burlington, Ontario. There was no option for Ontario, so I chose New York, the closest to me. This site looks informative and interesting and I thought it might be useful in the parent support group I run. We are currently trying natural methods for my son and we are seeing improvements. My pet peeve is doctors or specialists that are closed minded to the fact the what you put into your body can affect your health and that the only option for any illness is medication before all other avenues have been exhausted. I also think that too many teachers or psychologists are quick to label a child as ADHD without letting the parent know of the numerous other conditions that cause similar ADHD-like symptoms. I believe all other things should be checked out first before coming to the final conclusion of AD(H)D.

Parents I'd Like to Meet
