I know through out history there have been many important and key people in this world that had some type of ADD or Learning Disability. This is a little tidbit of Thomas Edison's biography;
"In 1854, the family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, where Edison attended public school for a total of 12 weeks. A hyperactive child, prone to distraction, he was deemed “difficult” by his teacher. His mother quickly pulled him from school and taught him at home. At age 11, he showed a voracious appetite for knowledge, reading books on a wide range of subjects. In this wide-open curriculum Edison developed a process for self-education and learning independently that would serve him throughout his life."

A quote from a mother of 4, (3 with either ADD or a Learning Differences) sums it my feelings of this great part of history: "As a result of one mother's efforts, the world is a very different place." -of Different Minds Book by Maren Angelotti (http://www.ofdifferentminds.com)
Whatever it may be, that you as a mom are struggling with- You will always be the #1 person to support and love your child. When you step into that role you step into what you were made for. When you are in the role you were meant for, for some reason your world has a reason to be and so do you.
God bless you guys!!! Couldn't hold back on sharing this :)
