The information is fantastic, but the recharge comes from my CHADD buddies. There's just something about hanging out with the members of your own tribe. Despite being separated by many months and miles, we pick right up where we left off. We get each others' humor, enjoy (or at least roll with) each others' quirks, and appreciate each others' struggles and progress. Best of all, we happily geek out together on the finer points of our evolving understanding of ADHD, how we treat it and how we deal with our own symptoms. <br /><br />I'm not completely 'out' to my professional community, but at CHADD, I'm surrounded by fellow competent, dedicated, dynamic ADHD-ers. Some of them are even psychologists, just like me. <br /><br />This year, I can't attend - and am missing my friends already. See you next year in San Francisco!Laurahttp://www.drlauraforsyth.comnoreply@blogger.com
