ADHD research and awareness has blossomed in the past 20 years, which in turn has expanded available ADHD resources. Whether you like to read books and websites, listen to podcasts, or watch videos to get your info, there’s a way for you to find out more about ADHD. \u00a0Here are some of my favorites:<\/p>\n

Books on ADHD:<\/h2>\n

Attention Deficit Disorder: The Unfocused Mind in Children and Adults, by Thomas E. Brown. <\/i>(Published in 2005, it’s a seminal work that describes ADHD for people who want a deep dive that includes some basic\u00a0descriptions and diagrams of the brain and neurology as understood in the early 2000s).<\/p>\n

Outside the Box: Rethinking ADD\/ADHD in Children and Adults, by Thomas E. Brown <\/i>(Published in 2017, this contains updated\u00a0research-based and experience-based discussions of what ADD\/ADHD is and how to understand one’s brain.)<\/p>\n

Fidget to Focus. Outwit Your Boredom: Sensory Strategies for Living with ADHD, by\u00a0Roland Rotz and Sarah D. Wright.\u00a0<\/i>Explains how to use your need for arousal to keep your brain stimulated, through fidgets and other externalized means of staying alert and engaged.<\/p>\n

More Attention, Less Deficit: Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD, by Ari Tuchman.<\/em> (Published in 2009, has many anecdotes that illustrate ways to design and use “work-arounds” and other strategies to augment ADHD-related wiring issues that stymie getting things to the finish line.)<\/p>\n

Understand Your Brain, Get More Done: The ADHD Executive Functions Workbook, by Ari Tuchman.<\/em> (Published in 2012, this workbook offers ways to understand how your ADHD brain is wired, and provides self-awareness exercises, strategy-creation exercise, and other ways to figure out what works best for you and your brain.)<\/p>\n

Websites About ADHD:<\/h2>\n

ADDA, Attention Deficit Disorder Association.<\/em> \u00a0https:\/\/add.org\/<\/a> \u00a0Quoting from the website: ADDA is a worldwide inclusive community of supportive ADHD adults who make it possible to thrive with ADHD. ADDA was created by adults with ADHD for adults with ADHD and is run by adults with ADHD.<\/p>\n

She’s the bomb!<\/p>\n
