Today I get to go see Ian!

I am very excited and was

hardly able to sleep last

night.

He called on Wed.

and said he felt for sure

now that he has ADD.

Now that he isn't in

a familiar environment

he is finding it really

difficult to ignore and

step around.

I have known this for

years. Both he and his

sister have it I know be-

cause I have struggled with

it for my whole life without

any help. I pursued the

road of trying to get them

help and get them tested

and all I got was they are

smart kids just lazy. With

Sara I was finally able to at

least test her but she of

course scored above level

in most everything only

because she is so smart and

has learned to compensate.

I am very proud of Ian for

facing up to it now only 3

weeks into college instead of

ignoring it till he flunked out

the first semester. He is growing

up and realizing he needs to

take care of himself.

So my trip is two fold, I get to

see Ian which I have wanted to

do since he left and deliver a

prescription from his doctor that

will help him, I hope for $100

a month, to focus so he can

begin to change his way of

studying, and living to make

it easier for him to function.

I spoke with a friend of mine

who is the head of the CSE

office in the school district I

sub in and she was a wealth

of information that I can pass

on to Ian to point him in the

direction he needs to seek the

help.

So hopefully I will leave him

once again after our visit

knowing he will be fine and

set to push forward and fix

his first major crisis on his

own.
