My name's Michael Karras. I grew up in Saskatchewan. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was in grade 1. And I'm a teacher, a special ed teacher at a high school half time. 
When I got employed at Martinsville High School, the very first thing right when I walked in the interview, is I told them, ‘You know, I have a learning disability, I'm dyslexic, I'm ADD, and can I teach English here, you know.’ And they all got a good chuckle out of it. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. But I wouldn't have been able to do that without all the modelling and the reinforcement and the role-playing that I did earlier in life. So yeah, it's a skill that needs to be developed, and it's a hard thing to do, especially if you've, you know, been treated poorly all your life, you know, been talked down to by teachers and things like that. But I would encourage anybody who has ADHD to really focus on being able to advocate for themselves; that's a big, big part of being successful.
