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!!

Can’t argue that @tyme @Shaz51 @Former-Member in my family we have three generations of ADHD + anxiety and dyslexia. The common comorbid companions.

For me it’s a relief to be around other people with ADHD. There’s a language shorthand and we see things that other people miss.
The “Did you see that?” moments, that lead to laughing until your stomach hurts.

But it can be very difficult and exhausting trying to fit into a neurotypical world.

Are you creative?

@Former-Member mate.

You don’t have a “touch” of dyslexia.

You have dyslexia.

It’s like saying, I have a touch of broken leg.

Have you spoken to your son’s psychiatrist?
