As a child, my mother was told often that I was given too much sugar. My teachers had problems keeping me in my seat, I had problems taking tests because I couldn't concentrate with a room full of other students, I had to read the questions over and over to try to comprehend what I was reading, and I was just so fidgety (even bored) just sitting there quietly. I didn't know I was experiencing the symptoms of ADHD until I had children, they were experiencing the symptoms too and were diagnosed with the condition. My life has changed ever since.
