Life is all about balance. Especially for this little boy. I have always called him my superhero because he struggles everyday ❤️

This is a very personal photo for me and I took it on a particularly bad day my son was having with his disorder.
I was one of those people that never really understood ADHD before. Some kids are a little more active than others and I think I figured the parenting was the problem.
I was wrong.
My son was diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago. I knew as soon as he could get around that he was different. He could never sit still, scream if he was in a stroller because he couldn't run and touch everything around him.
He didn't care if we were out of sight. He'd go up to strangers and sit on their lap. Get hurt or have to sit on time out for misbehaving, and then he'd go and do the same thing again. His brain just not slowing down long enough for him to process danger or consequences.
As a family unit it is something we all struggle with daily. ADHD is part of who he is, but he is so much more than that. <3

I have yet to be properly assessed (on the waiting list) I am nearly sure I have ADHD. Life has been a struggle, some utterly ridiculous things have happened in my life which make it interesting but my brain really is ‘wired differently’ numerous things: dangerously impulsive, find it so hard to care about or concentrate on things that don’t interest me, terrible short term memory, easily distracted, either really animated and dominating conversations or want to be on my own.. I can’t keep a job because of it. countless things to deal with. I just wondered if any of you out there relate? X
When I was a boy lying under a tree and looking up at the sky this time of year.. sometimes I would purposely 'soft focus' and daydream..well..more than a little..was often caught daydreaming .. now we call it ADD..then I was just 'not focused' and not working 'up to my potential' .. took a while..but eventually my creativity was 'discovered' by more than just me!
If you know and ADD/ADHD child..encourage that creative part of them and watch them bloom!
For We're Here - New Years Resolutions
There are so many things which are no longer avoidable...
So, no resolutions for 2016, just dread, and the certainty I will not be able to do all I am expected to.
The French Bulldog of my girlfriend .. really a cute Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) dog ! ☺
so life. here we go.
this spring has been chaos, two times i have been to psychiatric ER when i had such powerful panic attacks i could not handle them.
i have sufferd from anxiety for yeras now, and i have my ways to handle it, somtimes it works just fine, other times its eating me up. i'm still finding myself out and how i work.
since i've been this way for a long time, i've met a couple of doctors, one curator and a psychologist at the helth center nearby my home. and alot of disrespect..
But this spring, i finally got to do my neuropsychiatric investigation for ADHD. i had been in line and waited for it for TWO YEARS.
so finally the 23d of june i got diagnosed with ADHD 23 years old.
something that for me was such a amazing relief. i got so many answers by it. why i have hard time concentrating, focusing and have problems getting things done, or finishing. why i'm always tired.
theres still so much shame and stereotypes about ADHD, for example the hyperactivity. we're not all this "boy who cannot sit still on a chair in school and runs around".
i's time to change the stereotypes and the negative attitude about neuropsychiatric diseasesneuropsychiatric diseases as example ADHD. this is what i want to do in my teaching. learn or at least try to learn to fight stereotypes and be friendly towards each other.
The combined results are a 6 year old child who never stops moving, and is completely unaware of spatial relationships thus frequently runs in to things (and people). He loves to be underwater, and will stay under until he gasps for breath, filling his lungs with water, emerging sputtering and coughing, ready for another dive...into his bliss.
He runs away and hide. But he cant wait for me to find him so he laughs and pops out of the grass ❤️
Inspiration for ‘Open view’ came from my ADHD mind. It is a way of depicting how my mind works. In the background is a shattered bust of me showing my rib cage, representing my vulnerability and how I leave myself exposed for sake of message. I’ve always had a fascination with death and my awareness of time slipping away. I represented this by the skull ‘death’ card with the Hg on it. Hg represents my fear of one day not being able to exist here due to our polluting of our eco system with heavy metals including mercury. I use game pieces in my work because I am fascinated with games and enjoy quite a few of them. The girl holding the floating shattered egg is a representation of youthfulness and my wife. She is always telling me to free myself from my over thinking of things. The shattered egg with Hg again represents the fragility of our natural environment and our tendency to want to manipulate this from their natural state of being. The darts moving through the piece depict my love for darts and our lack of care when aiming our pointed ideology in the air. The mask of Salvador Dali shows how our past is formed by masks of those that we admire in our formative years. I was inspired to a large degree when I was a youth by Dali. I am represented by the clown holding the paint brush awkwardly at Dali. I have felt a number of times as a clown, existing just for the fleeting moments of amusement in peoples lives with no real purpose other than for a joke. I placed a portrait of my wife peeking through the broken pieces of my life as often people do while I’m working out in the public. The golden fish represents our sea life that we are contaminating with mercury and other heavy metals one day making it where we won’t be able to use fish in our diets. The all seeing eye is a symbol for God and my acknowledgement that He is always watching.
Open View was created with layering basic Prisma Color colored pencils on Stonehenge paper. My busted torso was drawn in with Faber-Castell graphite; F, 2B, 4B and 6B. My methods don't include the use of erasers, blending stumps or solvents of any sort ie, water or alcohol.

The major has had decorative umbrellas overhead in some lanes in the city to raise awareness of people with ADHD. Walking in the rain gives a nice contrast. The 2 young women smiled and agreed to me keeping the photo ...
Letter magnets arranged to spell ADHD.
