April 27, 2020“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” ― C. S. LewisNot one of us chose this.

No one signed up for a quarantine seemingly without end. No one volunteered to flip their routines upside down and shake them violently.

No one pursued face masks and Zoom and Lysol as a way of life. Yet here we are. And the choice we face now is an important one: Do we rage against the quarantine?

Social Power and Quarantine in Polyamorous Relationships
Recent arguments on Reddit and other social media outlets over the appropriateness of continuing to travel (across town or across the country) to see partners during the COVID-19 quarantine have prompted a virtual community town hall. Chrissy Holman, polyamory community organizer and Communications Lead for the American Psychological Association Division 44 Task Force on Consensual Non- monogamy,  coordinated a panel of health professionals and community activists to discuss the impact COVID-19 can have on CNM communities, and how to avoid becoming a vector of transmission. To access a wealth of information from 14 experts and community members, you can find a recording of the COVID-19 Polyamory Townhall here.

What I’ve Learned From My New Officemate (aka My Wife) in Quarantine
The first fight was about music. She wanted pop and hip-hop; I wanted classical. A couple of hours later, we sparred over coffee. I was drinking too much, she claimed. I’m not drinking enough, I retorted, practically mainlining espresso at breakneck speed. This was Day One with my new officemate, otherwise known as the wonderful woman I married in the long-ago age of November 2019.

How the COVID-19 Quarantine Is Helping My Son With Autism Develop Life Skills
When the quarantine first started, I spent the first week trying to replicate what my son Dominic, who is on the autism spectrum, did at school on a daily basis. Unfortunately, he had a seizure that Friday, March 20. The next week, I let him do whatever he wanted because I had a huge case of mom “guilt” that I had caused it somehow. Secretly, in the back of my mind, I was hoping the quarantine would last two weeks and things could go back to the way they were. As we all know, that hasn’t happened yet.

Home Alone? Older Adults with ADHD are Staying Safe but Really Lonely
This pandemic does not discriminate. But it does disproportionately impact the health and wellbeing of older people, and those with pre-existing conditions like asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), eight out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults age 65 and older.1 (Those over 80 with chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart or lung diseases are at greatest risk.)

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.

Homeschooling driving you crazy? Turn Chores into Lessons
When my children were of school age and I made extended overseas trips each year, they travelled with me, often being out of school for as long as two months at a time. At first, I would try to follow the prescribed curriculum sent home by their teachers, but I soon realized that it was neither practical nor necessary to hand my child sheets to fill in or have them read books about things they weren’t experiencing.

Tuning Out Noise: Lessons from a Pre-Covid Confinement

Part One explains how, stressed and tired by the constant bombardment of electronic information, I began a week of total cut-off from all electronic media and communications gear this past January.

Single, Anxious, and Quarantined
You’ve seen the videos about a Brooklyn photographer who used a drone to send his phone number to the woman across the street, wined and dined her by video-chat, and finally met her in person while enclosed in an inflated plastic ball. Dating, during the coronavirus pandemic, can be an extreme sport —but for those of us who live alone, “quarantine” can be just another word for enforced solitude.

4 Organization Projects That Spark Joy in Quarantined ADHD Brains
When the emotional roller coaster of stay-at-home orders began, many of us felt equal parts terrified and excited. We feared the reality of working and learning (concurrently) from home, but we also dreamed of vanquishing all of those closets, drawers, and boxes that have lingered for years. That burst of motivation to organize was, for many of us, short-lived.

How Can we Help Parents Quarantined with Autistic Children?
Families are experiencing an unprecedented interruption in educational and therapeutic services for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays. Teachers and therapists, of course, have the training and resources but most parents do not. In addition, many parents are trying to work remotely from home, taking care of other children or family members in their household, and managing the chaos of day-to-day life at home. This can be an overwhelming undertaking.

10 Ways to Be Mentally Healthy and Happy during the Quarantine
Here we are, in the middle of one of the biggest pandemics of all time. To some, this seemingly came out of nowhere, and to others who had been following along closely, this was not a surprise. Regardless of how prepared you were for the quarantine, this is the new (temporary) normal, and no one knows exactly what to do, but we all know that there’s nowhere to go, so we sit, we stay at home, we slow down, and we pause for a moment. We take a deep breath and realize and trust that we are going to be ok, we are going to get through this, and we will get back to our “normal” lives…. eventually.

Parenting in Quarantine: Four Steps for Sanity and Success
In so many ways, this is war.  We all got drafted this time, some into front line positions, others of us charged with maintaining the home front. There are no deferments.  The front-line folks - medical staff, first responders, and the people that keep us fed- they are the public heroes, the elite forces.  Parents are the foot soldiers, the grunts slogging through the day-to-day guard duty, maintaining morale, requisitioning supplies, containing skirmishes.  Parents are stationed at home, many tele-working while being charged with keeping their kids safe, fed and occupied while pulling extra duty as teachers, recreation therapists and jailers.
