Hyperfocus and AD/HD

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I bought my husband a guitar for Christmas. It was what he wanted, and I think everyone needs some form of creative expression and something that helps them relax. He obviously liked the present, because he has become absolutely obsessed with it!

He goes to guitar websites, buys guitar magazines, and watches how to play videos on tv. He’s bought a guitar stand and started taking lessons. “I’m going to take a shower and get ready for work” has become code for “I’m really going upstairs to play my guitar and someone better keep track of the time so I’m not late”.

Attention Washington DC Parents

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

If your child attends public school, and you have had difficulties getting the school to provide proper accommodations for your child’s Attention Deficit Disorder, then Camille Tuutti-Winkler would like to talk to you.  Ms. Tuutti-Winkler is a writer currently working on an article about alternative schooling options for children with AD/HD.  The goal of the article is to educate parents about their options when the public school system fails their children.  If you feel that you can help Ms. Tuutti-Winkler at all, please send an email to me, and I will forward it on to her.  Please put DC in the subject line.

Oops! It’s Tuesday!

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Today’s Tuesday Ten Minute Tip is now posted.  Sorry about the delay - with the Easter holiday, my husband had a 4 day week-end, and today when he went back to work, it seemed like Monday, so I forgot to post the new one.  It’s there now; hope you find it useful.

Tuesday’s Ten Minute Tip

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Starting this week, I will be adding an audio feature to this site: Tuesday’s Ten Minute Tip.  Every Tuesday will feature a short audio recording of a tip that I find useful in managing Attention Deficit Disorder symptoms.  Both ADD Moms and ADD Student will feature Tuesday’s Ten Minute Tips; sometimes it will be the same one, and sometimes each site will have a different one.  Check the box on the right under “What’s New” to hear the latest tip.

Getting Organized with AD/HD

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I admit it.  I am an organizing junkie.  I love anything to do with organizing - I love books about it, websites and shows about it - sometimes I even like doing it.  I especially love living in an organized home.

Now before you think that I have one of those picture perfect showhouses where everything is always in it’s place, let me assure you that I don’t.  A real family lives in our house, and sometimes, it’s messy.  Remember, there are 5 adults in my house who all have Attention Deficit Disorder.
