A mother's computer cure

when Aleah Jones, above, was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder at age 6, the doctor gave her mom, Rhandi, a pamphlet and "a list of 50,000 books. I didnt know where to start." The Stonington, Conn., mother took a class about ADD at the community center, but wasn't impressed.

Six months ago, she got a computer and promptly found ADD research, information, information on ADD drugs and medications to deal with the side effects of ADD drugs. One of the most helpful elements: message boards for parents of ADD kids.

"The parents know all the Web sites, know what researcg is being done, know the best books and the laws for getting help at school," says Rhandi, 30. Talking with the Internet community helped her separate out ADD from what she calls an adolescent's "middle school attitude." thanks to this information, Aleah, now 10 is doing well at home and in class.

Still, Rhandi logs on every morning to check for any ADD news.

Where to find a support group: Many major health sites have "communities" with chat/support groups and message boards where you post a question or respond to others within a specific topic. Some of the most active health support groups are on the -- a global bulletin board of thousands of different topics.
