Introduction | Everyone in our family has ADHD! Our life is like a tornado and I am at the center. The Smarter Spicoli is in 2nd year in college, Rainbow Sparkle-Dazzle, my daughter, is a freshman in college and my youngest, The Weatherman, is 14 and has Aspergers Syndrome AND ADHD. A sense of humor is just about the best thing you can posses. I accept South Park constantly in the background and can laugh at the inappropriate jokes without feeling like I am damaging their futures. I accept, grudgingly, bright pink hair,band tee-shirts w/inappropriate songs, being friended and then unfriended by all my kids on FB. I've finally learned not to compare what my mother thought was a good kid to what I have skulking around my house. It's freeing and wonderful to parent with a bit of a sense of humor!!!! So, that is my "Parental SUPERvision"...the gift of seeing everything with a bit of smile on what is getting to be a slightly haggard face! I am the Governor's Appointee on Advisory Commission on Special Ed ( my comments in this blog are personal and don't represent the commission) I co-founded a foundation which provides funding to teachers, students and family programs in our city. |
