I Hate Change. I Love Novelty. An ADHD-Friendly Website Grows Even Friendlier

By totallyaddauthor

Those early days, after I was first diagnosed with ADHD, were heady times.  My first reaction was a mix of relief, excitement, and alarm.  Bouncing between “This explains so much!” and ”What does it all mean? And I damaged?  What do I do about it?”
