Hi there - enjoyed reading your blog and all the information you have on ADD. My son, who has just achieved his Springbok Scouting Award (Eagle in America) has ADD so found it very interesting.

We have 2 cubs in our den with ADHD, and another that has not been diagnosed, but it is suspected. I tried to download the pod cast to my Zune, but the link was no good.
