When you are in Atlanta, let me know if you want a book signing or video/movie signing. My daughter's owner of the store would love for you to be there. There are so many parents and children w/ neuro diversity who are their patrons.
Great post Harold. My adult ADD is getting better or maybe I am just getting older.
