My name is Simon and I am 29 years of age. I was first diagnosed with ADD when I was 8 years old and have had learning difficulties all my life. I didn't talk much until I was three. I have seen many specialists and speech therapists over the years. I have had remedial classes for several years and although my reading and writing has improved, I still have difficulty , especially with writing and spelling. I have been seeing a psychiatrist on a regular basis for several years. Last year several incidents happened in my life that have left me extremely depressed and during the latter part of last year I tried to take my own life. One of the incidents that occurred was a very close friend of mine whom I have regular contact and is also low after the death of her father last year. She did not contact me for several weeks after leaving our house in the middle of the night and that nearly killed me. My mother Yvonne and brother Andrew have been very supportive all my life and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me.
I am training as a Funeral Director, also working at weekends at the local vets and also run my own pet care service I would like to write a book about my life and about Attention Deficit Disorder and depression in adults and how it affects people. If anyone has any information or contacts that I may be able to include in the book, could you please email me at simon@simonleggett.com |

are not able to share thoughts and feelings with people with ADD
and do not know where to turn to for support. I started this website
hoping that people will be able to share feelings and support each
other.
