He sounds like a normal, happy, creative, intelligent boy who is learning he has, among other things, the gift of leadership and the desire to use it for positive social change. (Er, riots notwithstanding.)

Ian was so excited on the second-to-last day of school about the summer vacation (I think it was his sophomore year of high school) he turned himself into a human bowling ball and slid across the cafeteria floor and knocked over a garbage can.<br /><br />How lucky he was, because that ended up being his LAST day of school for the year.<br /><br />Ian has dealt with ADD since he was in first grade. Now he is all grown up, but still quite quirky.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-42377823832384302752011-08-23T19:03:11.732-05:002011-08-23T19:03:11.732-05:00Well that slithering out of tight places will defi...Well that slithering out of tight places will definitely help him in his political career...!!

I simply see them as the children with more mental and physical energy than most. Since there isn't any recess anymore and less time outdoors in general; that change in society could be the reason for the so called lac of focus they are diagnosed to possess.
