Letter from the Editor

Dear ABCDlady Readers,

With more and more info coming out on ADHD, do you ever wonder if you have it? For instance, a standard night for me consists of my television being on mute (in case I see something on that I want to watch) and my computer sitting on my lap so I can check my email every few minutes while I surf the net for one reason or another. With my need for constant stimulation, even I have begun to wonder if I have ADHD! Since ADHD exhibits itself differently in adults than in children, this month we decided to focus on ADHD in South Asian adults and adolescents.

Last fall, like most of America, I got hooked on Heroes, a show about people who discover they have superpowers and realize that they must come together to stop a bomb from exploding in New York. So I was especially excited to meet and interview the South Asian heartthrob on the show, Sendhil Ramamurthy. Voted as one of People Magazine’s 100 most beautiful people, Ramamurthy revealed secrets about himself and the show. Did you know, for instance, the producers insist he have a three-day unshaven look in every episode? Read on to learn more…

We get parenting questions sent in from time to time, so this month we are going to answer them in one go!

Read on for the answers to these questions and more.

Enjoy!


Sincerely,
