This week the world's leading online Attention Deficit Disorder Support Community reached another milestone by welcoming its 7500th member.

(PRWEB) September 12, 2005 -- Attention Deficit Disorder, also known as ADD, ADHD and AD/HD, is a very common condition which is becoming better known. The "H" in ADHD stands for hyperactivity, and can be one component of the disorder. According to recent studies, approximately 5% of children and 4.3% of the U.S. adult population, have ADHD. Chances are, that in one way or another, the average person is affected by ADHD. A person’s co-worker, spouse, grandchild, sibling, employee or friend may have ADHD.

Many people who are affected by Attention Deficit Disorder are looking for support and information. Over 7500 people have found an online community to receive both information and support about ADHD and comorbid disorders.
