The question we get asked the most?

Foreword by Rick Green:
Dr. Hallowell had a profound influence on my life for ten years, and then I actually got to meet him. You see, I had read every book that he had authored or co-authored about ADHD, so the opportunity to drop by his house and sit down and just listen to him was profound.
Should you tell your employer, your friends, or your child’s school about having ADHD? Dr. Anthony Rostain talks about the dilemma of disclosing an ADHD diagnosis.
Laura McNiven once wrote “You can’t treat ADHD through the lens of shame and blame”. I think that’s a really profound statement to remember, especially as you read this blog.
Attention Deficit Disorder is frustrating. It leads to procrastination, burn-out, isolation, and overwhelm.
Even now, a decade and a half after learning what’s up with me, my ADHD can be a challenge. Daily. Sometimes hourly.
