Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

Hey all! I decided to kick start a sweet little space for us to gather and talk ADHD!!

You can read the Topic Tuesday discussion (at which I was a guest) here.

Some of my go to resources:

ADDitude - Online Magazine/resource for all things ADHD

Three Pillars - My preference for explaining the experience of ADHD without relying on the DSM-V (scroll to bottom and work your way up the list)

How to ADHD - A Youtube channel with tips, tricks, strategies, how to guides, life hacks, you name it

Russel Barkley - a world renowned psychiatrist who has been at the forefront of research into ADHD, its neurochemical markers, and its impacts on daily experience, particularly in regards to executive dysfunction. The link is to an hour-long video aimed at parents of kids with ADHD. He also has one for adults with ADHD (with actionable tips!).

This is a space to talk about your experiences, struggles, strategies, and just an all-round safe spot to be a big pile of chaotic energy right here!!

it’s very accurate @Jynx I know you can just look outside but handy to know when it’s going to stop and also as a Gardener also handy for me to wake up in the morning and see that how much it rained overnight (as opposed to the old fashioned rain gauge, I havent reached the stage of life JUST YET)

@Shaz51 Chiari malformation is common in people with Ehlers-Danlos. Surgery is used for Chiari.

@Jynx oh, so many of those are all too relatable! Some make me laugh, some make me wince, some I laugh-sob 😆😬🙃
the deep breath by the camp fire is the loveliest, and waiting for the wave of stress-induced adrenaline is the one that I most went "Hahaha! Uhoh" at 😝
