Samantha posted a blog post"When people are squeezed what's in them comes out"
My sister learned this quote, I don't know from where but I like it. "When people are squeezed what's in them comes out."

I try to keep quiet until my mind gets to my core, to who I really am.So when I am "squeezed" I know that the person who first appears is not me. I…See More

I have several people in my life with ADHD. At the present time I have married friends and she is about to leave him because she thinks he has ADHD and he refuses to be tested.

I have submitted her to receive the info from your site, but how do you get someone to be tested that doesn't want to be tested.I'm pretty sure he is ADHD from spending time with them (I know that something is…See More
