I just wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself and share with you goals for this Website. I want this to be a place where we talk about a different side of ADD, the personal side, the human side, feelings about yourself, your relationships. I will give you my perspective that comes from working for ten years with women and men with ADD. I have often had the opportunity and the privilege to see people grow over several years and I've been able to observe and appreciate their shifting challenges. Over the years, I have developed a framework for understanding what makes the difference between those who get stuck sometime after diagnosis and those who continue to grow and move on. I find it has been helpful to share this with my clients so they can understand the developmental milestones in the lives of adults with ADD and I am developing this site as a place to share these thoughts with you. My perspective has also evolved from my own journey of living with ADD as well as from people all over world who have shared their stories with me. I hope this will be a place to talk about those shifting and important challenges and issues that emerge long past diagnosis --questions of identity, meaning, authenticity; questions about how you form a new identity and sense of purpose, and how to organize your life in deeper ways beyond a new Franklin planner. My goal is to give you a great place to explore and express yourself and to guide you in choosing experiences to help you on your life long journey - whether you are just starting out or if your feeling a little lost months or years after diagnosis. I want this site to be a relaxing but active place - a warm place to check in, to communicate and learn about communication. I'll very much enjoy sharing with you some of my own thoughts, recommendations and tips. I'll tell you about the products and services I offer and about the things I'm doing or things I hear about that I think are worth while. Even though I have written a book about women I also work equally with men and couples. I am writing a new book about the long term journeys or passages that adults will travel through. I have a great deal of affection for adults with ADD and respect for the tremendous struggles they face each day, invisible and sometimes incomprehensible to many around them. You need a place to sit back and relax, talk, feel understood and to share your understanding with others. You are the experts on yourselves and I have learned a tremendous amount from you. I have also received incredible support from people all over the world since the publication of my first book and this is a way for me to give back to you and to find a way to stay connected to you without running all over the country. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, relax and join other women and men around the world in an exploration of the challenges and gifts of living with ADD. Bye for now - Sari |
