U.S. Military and ADD/Aspbergers
My son is in JROTC. He has very mild Aspbergers and ADD and is doing extremely well without scholastic accommodations and medication for the ADD.

Brian W. Barrett replied to Herb Munson's discussion The Primacy and Existence of God in the group The Great Debate"Claims of the Bible. . . what if in fact those claims are false?
