Hi everyone! Wow I feel like I blinked and missed the entire summer holidays but that’s because we were away for half of them in Disney World. Speaking of which; jetlag is a pain up the rear! We got back on a Sunday morning at 7am with barely two hours sleep due to the time difference and it being an overnight flight. I thought the […]

Anyway don’t worry, that’s not what the exciting news is. The exciting news is that ADHD and Me is launching its very own monthly 15 minute podcast! Why a […]

I have no idea what’s wrong with me lately! Is it stress? Is it a vitamin deficiency? My ADHD has been pretty bad when it comes to actually maintaining an attention span, which is frustrating as anything if you’re like me and want to get stuff done. Having said that I always talk about the importance of us ADHDers being kind to ourselves and giving […]

I got some lovely presents amongst which was my new fitness tracker watch for my parents.

The link between ADHD and multi-vitamins has been part of much debate over the years. In fact I remember years ago when my Auntie suspected my cousin of having ADHD, she used to give them an omega 3 capsule before school as opposed to seeking a diagnosis (each to their own).

Anyone look at the person standing next to them and think ‘why aren’t you more excited?’ Like I know some people who can be in the most amazing places or doing the most amazing things, who say they are excited but generally have a face that says the opposite.

So, as most of you know I’m a foster parent, which is challenging but rewarding. Recently I’ve had the opportunity to deliver some new training on ADHD awareness for my fostering agency, which has amazing and also required much research.

Hello, my ADHD friends and associates, today I saw something that got my blood boiling, can you imagine what it was? It was another article questioning whether ADHD even exists!! How are we still having this conversation in the 21st century?? I’d be ok if it was just simpletons or uneducated dimwits who were coming out with these statements, but the people making these totally […]
