The holidays are a challenging time for everyone. Whether you have ADHD, or you’re one of those ‘neuro-typical’ folks.
Santa himself has to do more than UPS and Fed Ex combined. And it’s not much easier on the rest of us…

Should I tell my boss I have ADHD? Is it better to disclose my ADHD diagnosis at work? Should I tell my child’s teacher he has Attention Deficit Disorder?
All valid concerns. With potentially wonderful or devastating outcomes.
