After this disaster, I resigned myself to the fact that I was just not ever going to find my bashert and decided to just live my life without worrying about the whole issue since it was clear that Hashem found me unworthy. Two days later, someone called with an idea for me. This one was my bashert! We have been happily married now for over 20 years, bli ayin hora. The crazy part is that BOTH boys were redt by the same shadchan! You just never know….

    True ADHD has a physical cause; it is an underdevelopment of the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. It is as real as high blood pressure or a broken leg. However, yeshivas dont get anything about this issue. They dont care to educate themselves about helping the child inside or outside of the classroom. Just put ’em on meds and make sure the kid stays quiet or else. They also feel free to diagnose every kid that rowdy with ADHD. So the real cases get lumped in with the kids that just need some discipline and nobody gets a decent education.
