As Promised ... October 1st/2006 Pictures, Minus The Original Journal Entry ... "Diminshing Me, Uplifting Those Who Have Gone Before Me" ~




THE ADHD-AUTISM CONNECTION: This book came to me, I did not look for it ... I stumbled across it after much prayer that involved asking for understanding as I needed relief from a lifetime of questions and ADD/HD was in my face ... we (ADD/HD and I) stared at one another and I had no weapons, knowledge or the like .... this book moved me first ~ http://www.adhdautismconnection.com

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Diane M. Kennedy is a former state advisory board member of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD), a longtime member of the National Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the Autism Society of America (ASA). Diane's husband, Tom, and her three sons each have various disorders which she discusses in this book.

COMMENT: "The numbers are skyrocketing - and so is the confusion. Most parents and even many professionals are perplexed by the overlapping syndromes, diagnostic categories, and classification schemes that are used to describe the rapidly growing population of behaviorally disordered children. In The ADHD-Autism Connection, Diane Kennedy provides a long needed and very welcome guided tour of what has come to be called the autistic spectrum. A valuable contribution."

Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., founder of the Autism Society of America
and director of the Autism Research Institute


I have a beautiful mind and I'm thankful for it~
