Hi.

Thanks for sharing this. My son is also ADHD. He likes sports, but he still doesn’t show interest in one particular sports. I do hope that he would be able to overcome this someday.

I got here through plurks.

Everybody knew — except me. Honest, I have read some about Michael Phelps but it’s only from you I learned he has ADHD. And that he has unsure footing on land. Wow. Talk of compensating, or overcompensating. Ang galing nya!

Geri, yes, his story is truly inspiring, not only to the families who are going through what they went through but also to those who want to do better.

I just wish he would not be turned into a commodity with all the endorsements he has to make.

Thanks for the visit

I agree Cess, with his qualities plus the millions he will earn, I just hope he will not be turned into a commodity but as an inspiration. Of course, there can only be one like him, maybe there could even be someone who will do better or try to be like him, he was able to inspire families going through what they went through years ago.

I remember the little boy who swam some distance din in Cebu, the boy apparently has ADHD, according to the father.

Dine, what truly inspired me with this was the support Phelps was given to overcome behavioral issues which was turned into positive strength.

Re advocacy,ikaw talaga, Maybe in the near future, I am not ready yet
