What to Expect in the Next Couple of Weeks

An overview of what to expect to see on the ADD/ADHD page during the next month.

Whew! I can't believe that I have already uploaded ten articles already. I have so much that I want to put up here, but it takes time to organize it and format it that I get frustrated sometimes. Hey, I'm ADHD. I want it all done NOW, if not sooner.

I do have plans to post a bunch of school related articles this week. I would have done it today, but I felt it necessary to follow up my other three articles on impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and inattention with strategies. I have taken time to write down many of the suggestions I have given to parents and teachers over the years and just need to proof them once more before they are posted. Having been both an ADHD teacher and an ADHD student, this is the one area I am extremely qualified. Expect a couple articles every day this week. I'll slow down eventually, but right now I have so much I want to cover that I feel it will take years.

As I combed the internet last night, I realized that there are very few sites that give practical suggestions on what works. I have oodles of strategies. Give me time and I will get as much up here as I can as quickly as I can. I also have the outlines for some articles on medications and alternatives to medication. I have found a lot of misleading information out there on ADHD medications. I warn you, I am strongly in favor of meds (being on them myself), but I am also understanding of the drawbacks and fears. I don't buy in to the "over diagnosed" theory, but I have seen many misdiagnosed children put on medication, too.

So that's where I'm going: School-issues, strategies, and medication. I have a vague idea where things will lead me from there, but I'm making no promises. If I see an issue that needs to be addressed, expect me to take action. If you have something you'd like to see addressed, email me. My Suite 101 email should be working by the end of the middle of the week.

Best Regards,
