Michael's brain often mystifies me. I've read countless books and done a ridiculous amount of research to gain some understanding into what it is that he's feeling/going through on any given day. It's difficult for me to grasp because, well, I don't have ADHD. I can't fathom hyperfocusing. I can't fathom getting distracted by the tear in the knee of my jeans to the point that I nearly rip the bottom half of my pant leg off. I can't fathom the need to constantly fidget, move and sing. I couldn't really fathom what it is that goes on in his head until he came home from school with the above art project. To me, it is the most beautiful expression and explanation of what he experiences day in and day out that I could have ever asked for. Clearly, I need to use art as an outlet for him more often.
