List of
Annotated Links
What follows are some of the ADD-related sites that I've found helpful and/or fun. These are the links that take you to personal stories of real people dealing with ADD/ ADHD. There are other categories as well. (Not all links fit into categories or necessarily get put into the appropriate category right away.) If you would like to go to the alphabetical listing (which contains all of the links except those added within the last week) click on a letter. There are some personal stories that haven't made it here yet on the newly added page.
