This is Aiden's proud Mom here. We are so grateful and look forward to seeing how he uses his intense life experiences to help others who are struggling. I wanted to clarify that, when he was young, the info about ADHD meds was conflicting, so we were afraid to give that a try given his tendencies and family history. Now there's evidence that maybe we should have done it, but we've learned not to be too hard on ourselves for doing the best we could given the information we had at the time. I hope his story gives other parents of dual-diagnosis folks some hope.
