Hi everyone...my name is Steven. Welcome to my world! I'm 15 years old and I go to high school. I play football, am on the wrestling team and I *love* to pick on my four siblings. My mom calls me her alphabet kid. Why, you ask, would my mom call me her alphabet kid? Because I have TS, ADHD and OCD. I bet you're wondering what all these letters stand for, let me explain:

TS is Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder characterized by tics. ADHD is Attention Deficit Disorder with/without Hyperactivity, another neurological disorder characterized by the inability to pay attention and stay on track. OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. That's a little more complex but neurological again. I obsess about things, whether it be numbers, jumping through the doorway, counting, cleanliness, or rechecking, just to name a few, and compulsion is the act of following the obsession through. Quite a menu, huh?

But I'm like any other 15 year old. I just have a faster paced life and sometimes people just don't understand me. If you'd like to learn more, please continue checking out my web page, or if you have any questions, comments, or would like to chat, check out my email below. There's lots of great things on here and good links to check into so browse a while and, if you'd like to get to know me or my wonderful, complex world, drop me a note. My mom does screen my mail (to keep me safe, she says) and she is also my advocate in school and public if I get into a sticky situation, so if you have any questions like that, you can also contact my mom through my email address also.

Hope you like my world!
