When my son was first diagnosed with ADHD, at age nine, we attended nine months of weekly workshops for parents and kids at the University of California, San Francisco.

The kids went to one room, where they learned how to organize their backpacks, and the parents went to another, where we learned how to manage reward charts.It was here, at age 48, that I got my first strong hint that I shared my son’s disorder.

While all the other parents brought in neatly lined, color-coded, computer-generated charts, and bragged about all the successes they were having, my hand-written graphs were crumpled, and my son’s behavior was unchanged or worse.Mothering a child with ADHD is not for the faint of heart — and it becomes more daunting when you, too,

The Unexpected Benefits of Embracing Telehealth as a Speech Therapist
I was called into my field by OK! magazine. It sounds like an impossible statement, but the first time I realized I had found the right job for me, I was sitting on the floor of a home, delivering speech therapy services to a family, pointing out pictures in a magazine with a child. The only print media in the house to work on early reading skills were OK! magazines, but this kid loved them — probably because his mama, a hard-working single mom, loved them and he idolized her. We sat together for our entire hour session looking at magazines while his mom sat talking with my clinical supervisor, getting maybe her only hour that week to have a real, adult conversation. And I looked around and realized — I’m supposed to be here.

Reviving Hygge for COVID-19
Around 2016, the concept of hygge exploded in American culture. Pronounced HOO-ga, this Danish term translates most concisely into “coziness,” but it has also been described as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being” and “the absence of anything unpleasant.” Several years ago, hygge was suddenly everywhere: It was the topic of at least eight books, a documentary film, a design shop, and more.

I've Felt Calm Through COVID-19, but Had a Panic Attack Out of the Blue
Since getting on medication long term, I stopped having panic attacks. However, when I got a new boss, who actually caused a co-worker of mine who had never had panic attacks before to have them, I had them again. They stopped again when I left that job. I had not had one in at least over six months until I had one recently, and I still have no idea what caused it. I have been surprisingly calm during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the new viral strain in the coronavirus family that affects the lungs and respiratory system.

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.

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.

How Many Points for Failure?
Dr. Norma Lize is a young, dedicated college teacher who needs some advice. Dr. Lize uses a standard grading system for her courses:  90% and above is an A, 80-89% is a B, etc. Students take tests, submit papers and other assignments, participate in class, do group research projects—and earn points for each of these. Anything under 60% on an assignment earns an F. When a student’s average for all the assignments doesn’t reach 60%, the student fails the course.

What a Visit to the Children's Museum Taught Me About the Reality of Autism Awareness
Being home on lockdown all these weeks, I’ve had a lot of time to think. Hot and heavy on my mind has been this: why are there so many self-proclaimed heroes out there, championing the disabled children (in our case, autism), patting themselves on the back for passing the basketball to the autistic kid or for “sacrificing themselves” and inviting an autistic boy to prom? Yet, for these to be heroic acts, we have to simultaneously acknowledge that we are including the “less than.” “Look at me, including the poor kid who is less than us!”
