Disciplining a Child With ADHD?

By totallyaddauthor

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.

What is the Perfect Career For Me & My ADHD? Part 2

By totallyaddauthor

In our video, The Perfect Career For ADHD, the experts agree that it has to be something you are interested in. But not necessarily good at. At least so far.
YOUR PASSION MAY NOT BE SOMETHING YOU DO WELL. YET.

The NY Times & ADHD

By totallyaddauthor

Saturday morning and I thought I’d been spammed. My Email inbox was filled with the same headline about ADHD and the NYTimes.
But each Email was from a different person.
Of course, it turned out that The New York Times….
