MARIE WEIDEMANN was thinking about Re: That Kelley person... and keyed

MW> MP> I share information, too. There is a load of very good stuff on

That is so common these days. The recent paper by Safer from Johns 
Hopkins shows that there has been a doubling of the use of 
methylphenidate in the past five years. During those years there was a 
realization that ADHD pursues one into adulthood and that there are 
treatments for it. 
If you want to browse the article by Blum, look for American Scientist, 
March/April 1996. That should allow you to home in on it.

He does many things that make us proud. And he is a superior big 
brother. His little bother (I have two) has cerebral palsy and Josh 
helps us with him so much. Josh read to him (it is the only time Josh 
ever picked up a book, other than to hide it) when he was little, and 
Noah is now an avid reader. Josh hates it.
