The Gallery is Growing!

As many of you are aware, we have made room for The Gallery, where ADHD artists young and old can show the world a bit of our creative side. Over the past few weeks, The Gallery has grown. If you haven’t taken a peek recently, we encourage you to do so. If you like [...]

A Great ADHD Hobby: Geocaching!

We have recently discovered a great new way to spend time as a family. A family doctor, whose own child has ADHD, had recommended Geocaching, which we have come to understand as a little-discussed adventure/sport/game/hobby. I’m really not sure which of those fits best!

An Impulsively Passionate Life with ADHD

So far, my posts are showing a very dark side to ADHD. Time for a bit of a lift!
The ADHD/Hunter type of person can also be a bit of fun. Impulsivity used properly can add quite a bit of spice to life. Just a few examples:
