The Truth Behind ADHD

Today I’d like you to join me in delcaring your goals and intentions for the summer. Each year, on this very day, I think about summer as a fresh start to bring new beginnings. And for the last few years, I have not really accomplished everything that I had hoped for.. I am NOT going [...]

Earlier today on Twitter,* I was having a conversation with a friend who I really admire.  I don’t know if he realizes his impact on me, but it’s actually really inspiring to find wisdom from a 13-year-old boy who runs his own company. Yep – that’s right!!!  Go ahead and take a second to re-read [...]

A lot of people ask, “How do I know if my child has ADHD?” That’s a decent answer, but I think it’s the wrong approach.  Whether or not we think of this, doctors are ordinary people just like you and me.  Heck, I have a “Dr” before my name and I can guarantee you that [...]

Medication… Medication… Medication… Oh how you frustrate me! You promise great and wonderful things, yet I am very skeptical about the unrealistic expectations you imply. From ads on television to magazine pages — I can’t help but wonder your intentions.

There is likely nothing more frustrating than following the advice of someone who thinks they know what they are talking about, but clearly do NOT! Even those with good intentions can get it wrong.  Be careful who you believe and what advice you follow – especially if your gut instinct tells you otherwise. But most [...]

This morning I was speaking with a colleague about ADHD and how to I approach my work with families and children. During that conversation, we touched upon the idea of living a deferred lifestyle, or waiting until the right time! I spent a great deal of my life waiting for the right time. Eventually I [...]

This might go against what most people tell you, but watch this short video to see just what I am talking about: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OT2ReHy7xc Just to be clear: Understanding ADHD Is Key Understanding How ADHD Affects “Us” Is Key But once you’ve got that down, I want you to focus more on the behaviors than the [...]

Last week I touched a few nerves with my last video, “ADHD? You Are Being Lied To…” I knew this might happen, and I was prepared to address any questions or concerns about it.  When I tell you that people are being lied to – it’s NOT to scare you.  It’s not to blame you.  [...]
