ADHD

For mum

I’m sorry I hit you
and said mean words
I truly regret it
it really hurts.

I’ll stop disconnecting
from the outside world
and start concentrating
on what I should have heard.

I’ll sit still and quiet
on top of my chair
stop irritating and pulling
my sister’s hair.

I’m sorry I hurt you
I love you so much
but the ADHD
makes it hard to show such.

Please forgive me
for what I’ve done
I’ll be a much better
and greater son.

Many people today are diagnosed with the chronic disorder, ADHD (Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder). In fact I think that we are not aware of how many children and youth who are suffering from this at school. Teachers are lectured about problems like dyslexia in order to know how to help with and organize the child’s problems. However, there are not many teachers who are aware of the symptoms for ADHD. The teachers start blaming the children for being stupid and too hyperactive, which causes problems for the child’s learning ability. What not many know is that often people with ADHD are smarter than others. They see and perceive things other people do not.

I’m diagnosed with this illness. It took me six long years to get the diagnosis. It was six hard years with a lot of crying. My mother, father and I fought and fought in order to obtain the proof on a piece of paper. We fought hard and in the end, I almost gave up. But I got there. They blamed my mother and father for abusing me. They wanted to force me into saying that my parents beat me, which is NOT true! I think one of the many reasons why they hate us, is because they don’t like the church we’re a part of.

In other countries it takes one week to get this diagnosis, but the people here are different. In the end we ended up finding a man in our capital that seemed to understand the problems I’m dealing with. Although it was a long way to drive and a lot of money to pay, we were willing to try it out. He was our last hope. It turned out that it took him one day to verify my diagnosis. One day. After six years of driving back and forward to the city next by. So many hours I’d lost for nothing. But finally this one man where able to help me. I want to thank my mother and father for not stopping fighting all those years. Even though they got blamed for things they’d never even done, they still kept on fighting for my sake. Finally I was able to get the medicines I needed in order to live a rather normal life.

I hope nobody needs to suffer and wait for so many years as I did. Even though they tell you to shut up, don’t. Fight for the help you need. And remember that Jesus loves you no matter what kind of problems you’re dealing with.

In the drawing I drew a boy and in the poem this person is a boy, but in real life I’m a girl, in case you were wondering.

Sorry for writing so much... xD
