Does Luke Skywalker have ADHD?
So, one of the weird things once you become a 'disorder' or 'condition' mummy is that you start spotting traits and signs everywhere. If you go to a playground and there's another kid there with similar traits to your kid, there's a secret glance with the other mum. Course it doesn't stop in the playground. Disney movies are a good place to start spotting traits and conditions. Sci-fi and superhero shows are a goldmine too. And now I'm wondering if Luke Skywalker will be confirming my ADHD suspicions or not in the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens that releases tomorrow.

Rocky reality: Autism and imagination
We were so pleased when Anthony started using his imagination. It was something we absolutely encouraged. Suddenly Anthony was Tree Fu Tom, Ironman and then Anakin Skywalker. We recently watched the new Star Wars trailer. We watched and waited for the same questions, the questions we've taught Anthony ask so he is able to understand that the movie is not real.
