Autorenporträt

Sterling Pratt grew up with a debilitating dose of ADD and SAD. He has supported his family for the last thirty years working with large corporate computer systems. He and his wife, Terry, fell in love at fi rst sight in 1974. Since then they have worked together to raise six children, some of which are ADD, SAD and OCD. As part of that parenting effort Sterling has gained experience working with youth as a Scout Master, youth leader, and basketball and soccer coach. He has recorded his often bizarre experiences growing up with undiagnosed ADD in a separate book that will be released next year, called Pudd'nhead Adventures
