"I loved it! It provided us with affirmation that we are supporting our son in constructive ways. It also gave us insight into the areas where we could improve. Most importantly, we were relieved to hear of the commonalities amongst individuals with ADHD. It made us feel part of a community. We feel like we understand our son better with respect to what behaviours and characteristics can be explained by his ADHD and what cannot be defined by it as well."
