So, unless this is your first day on the Internet, you’ve doubtless heard the story of the ADHD boy in Kentucky who was handcuffed by a Sheriff’s Deputy because he was acting out. No self-discipline, unlike the Deputy. And just to prove justice is blind, the Deputy also handcuffed a 9 year old girl with ADHD.

Trick Question: who is school harder for? 1) A kid with ADHD. 2) The parent of a kid with ADHD. 3)The parent of a kid with ADHD who also has ADHD. Answer: YES! Any way you look at it, “back to school time” is a stress factory waiting to happen, regardless of whomever in your house is challenged (and gifted) with ADHD…

When my son, my wife, and I go to football games, we used to dread entering the stadium because of the ticket scalpers.
We already had tickets. We didn’t need tickets. But they didn’t know that, so they’d bellow, “TICKETS! WHO NEEDS TICKETS?! WHO HAS TICKETS TO SELL? WHO NEEDS TICKETS?!” To get the full effect, imagine that last sentence in a size 96 font.
Running the gauntlet of pushy, loud, hucksters, screaming in your face is more than a little annoying. I felt like I was in the football game, a running back trying to break through the defensive line. Without the actual contact. More like Flag Football. I’m digressing, aren’t I?…

Last year we took a poll during one of our webinars. We asked: “What are the biggest issues you want us to address?” Number one? Procrastination. No surprise. And we’ve been working on a Procrastination video for a while now. (Insert your own procrastination joke here.) Second issue? The tornado of emotions that erupt when you, or a loved one, receives the ADHD diagnosis. We’ve been asking a lot of experts about this furious funnel of feelings that can send an already racing mind into a tailspin. And, man oh man, do we have some stories to tell…

All the rumors are true: I am an ADHD double agent (cue the spy movie music, please). In public, I’m a (fairly) normal business owner who manages to pay bills, coach my clients and manage employees. But in private, I’m a mess. I leave a trail of shoe droppings through my house; I always shop in the belated birthday card section; and I swear I’m going to finish writing this blog post by the end of last week…
