With statewide stay-at-home orders in place, I find my finances are strangely out of whack. I’m not spending much money on some things — eating out and getting a haircut — but my cash flow has changed because I buy two weeks of groceries at a time.Since so many people have lost jobs and are struggling to stay afloat, I thought it might be helpful to tick off a few money-saving tips that work for ADHD brains.You can’t know how to save money if you don’t know how you are spending money.

Finding My Own Tempo Amidst a Cacophony
When I went to the Central Park Zoo this winter, the best part was seeing the sea lions speed around their glass-enclosed pool. Watching them was like looking through a window into my brain, where my thoughts race in concentric circles, barely missing collisions. Some of them climb to the top of the rocks and bark, but others are tame, rolling around and asking for treats. All these thoughts — the speed racers, the barking attention-seekers, and the belly-up docile ones — coexist simultaneously. I never know which one to pay attention to. I stared at the sea lions long after the other spectators left.

The ride down is always fast, quickly taking away progress made, and the road back up feels endless. But for most of us, trusting that at some point that the ride will end, is what gets us through our hardest moments.

Why Getting an ADHD Diagnosis at Age 30 Was a Gift
This year, right before my 30th birthday, I received a surprise gift — a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis was an accidental finding, discovered while completing cognitive testing for an unrelated illness. After 30 years of living with undiagnosed ADHD, I have no regrets for not getting diagnosed sooner in life — but I do have to admit that it feels impactful to finally get an official label for my learning differences. Here is what the diagnosis of ADHD means to me:

There’s no question that stay-at-home orders have caused stress, anxiety, and loneliness. But for some parents of children with ADHD, a silver lining is beginning to appear: Fewer activities, obligations, and errands means more time for game nights, family walks, and time spent just “being together.” That’s not to say behavior challenges have diminished (they haven’t) or discipline is any easier (it’s not), but sometimes focusing on the pleasant surprises can get us through a tough day.

Closing the Gaps in Distance Learning: Strategies to Meet Educators’ Toughest Challenges
Remote learning during a global pandemic is challenging for everyone, but especially for children with special needs, multi-lingual learners, and other school-dependent students who rely on supports and structures to learn.

It Takes a Village (and a Plan) to Stay the ADHD Treatment Course
Medications for ADHD are among the safest and most effective treatments in medicine. So why do so many people stop taking them, and what can be done to prevent this? Little research has been done on why people do not stick with ADHD treatments. The research we do have, however, is consistent: The most effective thing we can do is check in with clinicians more often — in person or via a telemedicine appointment. Though expensive and time-consuming, this solution is the best insurance that your investment in getting a diagnosis and effective treatment will pay off.

ADHD Needs a Better Name. We Have One.
ADHD is an inaccurate — and potentially corrosive — name. The term “deficit disorder” places ADHD in the realm of pathology, or disease. Individuals with ADHD do not have a disease, nor do they have a deficit of attention; in fact, what they have is an abundance of attention. The challenge is controlling it.

Like many people, I’ve enjoyed reading for as long as I can remember. Reading has always been a passion of mine and it was part of the reason why I decided at a young age to write a book. Throughout my years of being a bookworm, I have read many books that have inspired me to write more about my life experiences with cerebral palsy, including “Of Mice and Men,” by John Steinbeck and “Forrest Grump,” by Winston Groom.

One of the most frustrating and difficult aspects of learning disabilities is that they are  often accompanied by another condition including, ADHD or ADD, speech impairments, and seizure disorder. The coexisting condition I was diagnosed with was an expressive language disorder, which causes mild to severe difficulties in written and verbal expression. The disorder can lead to challenges and confusion in academic and social settings.
