Greetings!
 Greetings to you all. As we head into fall, the leaves in my neck of the woods are starting to blaze, creating my favorite time of the year in New England. There is a zing in the air, a crispness, that suggests apples, pumpkins, and the advent of Thanksgiving. Life shoots us so many darts, so many unexpected challenges and sometimes disasters, that it is easy to forget all that we might give thanks for, would we stop and see the leaves, so to speak.

Q: Can you tell me if there is a connection between allergies or asthma and having ADHD?
A: Yes, indeed, there is a connection between allergies, asthma, and ADHD, but it is not a causal connection. There is a much higher incidence of allergies and asthma (as well as a host of other conditions and quirks, such as early ear infections, bedwetting, sleepwalking, migraine syndrome, night terrors, sleep disorders, thyroid disorders, left-handedness or mixed dominance, poor hand-eye coordination, poor handwriting, and klutziness) in people who have ADHD than in the general population. But it's simply an association, not a cause.
Remember, also, the upside! People with ADHD tend to be more creative, tenacious, entrepreneurial, jovial, forgiving, charismatic, original, and fun than the general populace as well!

The Working Parent with ADHD: Managing Your WORRY
|
 September was a breeze. You proudly checked off the list of necessary supplies for your child's new class, including colorful notebooks, binders, pencils, pens, and highlighters ...all in time to catch the bus (ON TIME!) for the first day of school. You sent your child off with an orderly backpack; you even wished you had this neat backpack. You were ready for the school year to begin! It's now October and suddenly the homework is more difficult. After school activities have begun. Projects at the office are mounting. How did you deal with this last year? Why is this suddenly so overwhelming? There's no shortage of advice from principals and teachers on the support you can provide for your children as they transition from summer to school. But what happens after they've finally made that transition? Who supports you? You're a parent - you don't have time to have ADD!!! Read More |

Dr. Hallowell Quote of the Month:
"If the diagnosis can be made, then most of the bad stuff associated with ADHD can be avoided or contained. The diagnosis can be liberating, particularly for people who have been stuck with labels like "lazy," "stubborn," "willful," "disruptive," "impossible," "tyrannical," "a space shot," "brain damaged," "stupid," or just plain "bad." Making the diagnosis of ADHD can take the case from the court of moral judgment to the clinic of neuropsychiatric treatment."
