Living With ADD News
News letter about living with ADD, hosted by the Living with ADD website.
For adults who are ADD/ ADHD and who are looking for others to discuss the special needs associated with our disability. Contrary to past thinking, ADD and ADHD are not outgrown in childhood, but are carried on into adulthood. This list is for ADD and ADHD adults (often referred to as “Addults”) to discuss issues about medication, employment, relationships, finances, addictions, etc, and for those newly diagnosed ADDults who are looking for others like themselves to discuss the special needs associated with being an ADD or ADHD adult.
This is a list for women with Attention Deficit Disorder, both with and without hyperactivity. Many women with ADD have different issues than men; women are considered responsible for household organization and often carry primary responsibility for child-rearing. This can be especially challenging, considering the high possibility of an ADD woman having ADD children. Participants can exchange tips, coping strategies and other information for dealing with their own ADD, as well as providing general support for one another. Our focus is on ourselves as individuals and women with ADD/ADHD in a non-ADD/ADHD world. This is not a parenting or children’s issues list.
A place for women with ADD to give and receive advice, support, & encouragement along each step of their ADDmirable Journey.
