I have had to suffer ignorance on the part of people who are not enlightened to the phenomena of mood brain disorders. The first place to start is to be confident in what you know to be true. You can then either ignore the lack of understanding or challenge her to research ADD for herself. You might even provide printed material or Web links. Tell her that it is important to you that she understand what you are challenged with.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
