"What you and Dr. Cerulli have to offer families is a blessing. It's been what I've been searching for, for years. My ADHD family floodgates have opened up since my daughter was first diagnosed in 2000. Since that time, my son, my oldest daughter, my niece, and my nephew have all joined her. I too just received my diagnosis. It finally dawned on me that they must have gotten it from somewhere. No one has to convince me about the genetic link."

"Dear Dr. Stern,

Every time I read one of your e-mails, I am moved to tears. Your outlook & professionalism is so refreshing, and unfortunately so rare, from what I have experienced so far. I love the fact that you see the beauty and gifts in the children and adults who are different, and even more so you actually voice it. The professionals I have met with so far have offered little in the way of help, understanding, reassurance, or encouragement. What a difference it would make for just one of them to reinforce what you say in you share - and what a truly wonderful, creative world we would live in to see people living their lives 'differently.'"
