Speed Bumps on the Way To an A.D.H.D. Diagnosis
From that article: Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (warning: PDF)
Kids with ADHD do better if they have play time outside. The actual research is a few years old, but it just came onto my radar recently.
Also, is the idea that nicotine helps ADD a surprise to anyone?
Not a surprise at all, nicotine is a stimulant also. My partner has used Nicorette for many years since she quit smoking partly because she found it useful for focus. Now that she’s been diagnosed with and treated for ADHD, she uses less of it, but is finding it hard to quit altogether. Does someone make a patch for Nicorette addiction? ;)
