;D Does anyone know any famous ADHDer's? I know several who are dyslexic, but none who are ADHD. My daughter likes Whoppi Goldberg and was excited to know that she has battled learning differences but i would like to tell her about ADHDers. Thanks a bunch  |

well, if I name the people, it might be character names: There is a link some where to take you to a websit, if I can find it, I'll bump it,
Mostly what sticks out in my mind is Peter Brady.
(as we all can't get the brady bunch theme out of head)
Kaiti
Winston Churchill
Thomas Edison

Yes, Kaiti, you're right. Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) was diagnosed in 1997. He is a celebrity spokesperson for ADD. This link gives several items relating to his association with the awareness cause. nclnet.org/adhd/ |

You're welcome, Kaiti! If you want to know any more about him, just ask. Did you know about him before or did you remember him from the favorite celebrity thread we had going?  By the way, Sweety, Chris was diagnosed with dyslexia a few years before his ADD diagnosis. |
