Will miracles never cease...

Feb 18, 2009 07:28

For those I didn't get a chance to talk to at Ymir, *fume...*, a small miracle has occurred. Janos not only FINALLY admits he has ADD (or ADHD, not quite certain yet)but that he cannot handle the symptoms on his own ( Read more... )

Teehee. With the boy, I try to not get too uptight about stuff like that but then it is part of his chores to then go make sure he picked all that stuff up. It could be Ok for the Goob to drop his tie where ever as long as part of his nightly - get ready for work the next morning - routine was to go and fetch said lost tie.

LOL,
I do that with my shoes I have to admit... it drives Aelfred crazy. He's finally gotten used to shoes at the front door, shoes at the bottom of the stairs, shoes in the living room, in the family room, in the kitchen....eventually they make it back in the closet.

I am pleased to hear that Janos has faced this and is going forward with seeking help. I know that it isn't easy, but he's got a really strong incentive to do it.

I'm with Aelfred. I just don't understand why the Navigator can't put his shoes in one place, instead of all over the living room!

Fabulous! That is a great start!

Well I am sure Janos was probably told all his life that he "Just needed to Foucus" or "You are lazy" etc. ADD diagnoses seem to be a late 80's early 90's deal, so he probably never thought it applied to him, or that ADD is an excuse.

Good for him in figuring out the problem, and good for him getting help!
