Helping a child with ADHD excel

An interesting story about a young man with an ADHD diagnosis who has been in the news a lot recently:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/10/sports/olympics/10Rparent.html

The moral of this story is: "Too many adults looked at Ms. Phelps’s boy and saw what he couldn’t do. This week, the world will be tuned to the Beijing Olympics to see what he can do."

On that note, I will be taking time this week to thank those very few adults who look at my son and see what he can do, instead of seeing only problems.
