What Island are you on?

As I was reading the lastest blog post on "a mom's view of ADHD" today, I could relate to each of the different islands described because at one time or another, I have been there, done that.  Currently I feel like I am on Gilligan's Island and keep getting sucked back onto the island and just not sure when I will ever get off!  Check out the article:  The ADHD Islands
