Hello. My name is Alexandria* and I have ADD. I have been diagnosed with ADD since I was 6 years old. Most of my childhood, I was medicated, but I still struggled with it. Currently I am not medicated but I wish I was, but alas, I have no insurance. So a little about me and my ADD... When I was a newborn (still in hospital) I started having seizures so after many tests and CAT Scans and MRI's it was discovered that I had something called an infarc (fancy way to say a blood vessel collapsed in my brain - the part that controls fine motor skills and creativity). Infarcs are very rare to begin with and usually, they bleed into the brain, but mine was even more rare, because it did not bleed into my brain. But because that small little part of my baby brain wasn't getting oxygen, brain cells died... thus when I was 6 years old, I was officially diagnosed with ADD. My mom had been warned, when I was a baby, that it was very likely that I would develop a learning disability, and most likely ADD. I promise that the dry and factual is over and from here on out it will be funny (I hope) and entertaining (I hope.)
I decided to blog because I have been inspired by a totally awesome blog Hyperbole and a Half. Looking back on my childhood, I did a lot of crazy, stupid, funny things. And if I can make people smile with my crazy stupid, funny childhood events then awesome. Not sure if anybody will actually read this, but who knows? anything is possible.
*All names will be changed to protect the guilty... I mean innocent... ;-)
