I was an OG. Original Ritalin kid. I have my record from when I was a kid and it is rather large. I had to be evaluated by several Doctors, including Phd types. My principle was sent a long two page letter explaining my situation. It was typed as in a type writer. My mother did not like medicating me, she hates taking medicine unless it’s absolutely necessary, but I was a handful. I started running away when I was two. I was resourceful, I could break out of anything. I could go on. Oh, I was also dyslexic.

I was called “hyperactive.” It ended up being the single greatest contributor to my success.
