Blake Taylor: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
Submitted By: Blake Taylor on 08/22/2010
Excelling with ADHD.
Diagnosed with ADHD at age five, Taylor often felt frustrated and alone. Yet, as he grew up he began to realize that what made him different wasn't just the symptoms of ADHD, but also its gifts. Taylor wants the 4 million American kids with ADHD and their parents to know that if they learn how to manage the negative traits of this condition and enhance the positive ones they can achieve heights that no one would have imagined. "If I can use ADHD to my advantage, so can others," he says. Taylor maintained high grades at an academically rigorous high school, published his first book before he was eighteen, got into the University of California at Berkeley, and, for the last two years, has been the winner of the UC Berkeley Alumni Association Leadership Award. Recently he became a columnist for ADDitude magazine. "ADHD shouldn't stop anyone from reaching their potential," he says.
