The Truth Behind ADHD

In my role as a child and family advocate for those facing the challenges of ADHD, I am asked a lot of different questions.  Sometimes, these questions get very detailed and very specific.  And that’s a good thing.  Because the more information and details I get, the more tailored a response I can provide. Yet [...]

What’s in a name? After much procrastination and telling myself I’ll start a Facebook page “someday,” I finally took action and pulled it together.  To my delight, this page has attracted just over 500 people (as of this writing), and I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of dedication and commitment these loving, caring [...]

Earlier this week, I started a little controversy among our readers about Diagnosing ADHD and how important it really is to have the diagnosis.  The responses that came in were quite incredible, and nothing short of what I expected for a condition that is still greatly misunderstood by many (not our readers of course). I [...]

Earlier this week I met with a colleague to discuss our views on ADHD and how we can really help make a difference in education, training, and support.  It was a really great conversation…very stimulating to the point that I was furiously taking notes the entire time.

This morning I am captured by the magic of “storytelling” and legacy.  As I was enjoying my morning coffee, I happened to catch the end of the movie, “The Babe.”  No, it’s NOT the movie about a pig and his travels through the farm.  This story of “The Babe” is about the life and legacy [...]

ADHD continues to be misunderstood by so many people – particularly the media at large and anyone who has an opinion and a way to express it.  Just Google “ADHD” and you’ll find results linking back to credible sources and then of course blogs and other websites where any opinion is welcome, addressed, and shared…  [...]

I’ve been a little quiet these last few months as I have been preparing a very special event.  Today I’d like to share with you the 2009 ADHD Family Summit. Starting this coming Monday, May 4th at 9 PM EDT / 6 PM PDT, you’ll be able to hear from some of the leading experts [...]

I almost titled this post, “Are You Passionate Enough About Success?”  But the more I thought about my message today – the more I realized it’s NOT necessarily about success.  It’s about taking a side – and being passionate about that side. Too Many People Sit On The Fence A mentor of mine really pushes [...]
