History
ADDitude was founded by Ellen Kingsley (an Emmy-winning television journalist) in 1998 to serve the parents of America's 2-3 million schoolchildren with ADD and ADHD, as well as adults, with the disorder. Kingsley founded ADDitude as a web site a few years after her oldest son, Teddy, was diagnosed with severe ADHD. ADDitude became a print magazine two years later.
Kingsley succumbed to breast cancer on March 8, 2007. In her honor, ADDitude magazine started the Ellen Kingsley Award for ADHD Advocacy the same year.
