Updated: Never — Philip's Blog

The internet is a funny place. On IRC today, localhost pointed me to two blogs kept by the parents (mum and dad (Dutch)) of an ADHD-enhanced son. It's fascinating reading and oh-so-familiar. And they link to my blog as an example of a "grown up" ADHD'er.

My parents made my teachers in primary school keep a diary of what I got up to (or not) during the day. I'm sure it was meant more as "therapy" for the teachers than for my parents to keep track of the horrors I got up to -- they knew me well enough to guess!

It is interesting how ADHDers approach certain basic ADHD-features differently. I look forward to reading more about their adventures! Maybe they will inspire me to write more about mine.

I encourage ADHD-parents to blog about their kids. It helps us "adults" (I use that term lightly - I never want to grow up!) learn more about ourselves too. And it's fun for the kids to read when they get older too. I enjoyed reading my teachers' diary. Even the embarassing bits. cough
