" Yes it is true there are three main things that go together ADD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia. You can have just one of thes things like me and my son or you can have any combination, my sister has ADD and Dyslexia. I knew a lady whose son had all three. My son also had a nervous tic when he was growing up and in fact like me he still has a mild version of it now. This is a form of Tourettes syndrome and is something else that you can have with ADD. Hope this helps.
