Having searched the world over, somewhat in vain, for external solutions to help me with ADHD, I am not the type of person that jumps on any bandwagon which claims to assist or improve the ADHD mind.
With that said:
When I write I like to have music on in the background and sometimes I like to have the TV and even the radio on, all at the same time. You might think that would be distracting. Not for me. Having so much going on actually helps me calm down and focus. If I can get the right buzz of noise going, then I often zone into hyper-focus mode and I got to tell you, I love it when that happens. However, getting the right buzz going is usually a rarity!

I guess when you are insane famous a little photo can get a lot of attention, especially if you are considered the perfect role model. Truth is, nobody is perfect and nobody should be expected to be perfect. That being said, I read a couple recent blog posts about Michael’s situation and how his actions do, or better yet, do not relate to ADHD. Can you really separate the actions of someone with ADHD from ADHD itself? That’s a very good question. Check out these two articles which take a moment to put this whole shebang in perspective:
And another very interesting, no BS article by Jennifer Koretsky
What do you think of Michael’s recent actions concerning smoking marijuana? Related to ADHD? Or just a 23 year old experimenting? Or…

I blog, I love to blog – I love to share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs with you. I think blogging is one of the most important movements in the new world order. Yes, there is a new world order, more and more people are reading blogs and less people are reading printed newspapers! In turn more newspapers are offering their articles online for free. Good idea! However, it’s blogging in the blogosphere which has caught the world by storm and I mean bloggers who are just writing about what they personally care about, not necessarily about what they are being paid to write or being asked to write. Many blogs have more readership than many traditional newspapers. Why? I think one word can sum it up:
Influence.
I highly recommend several books which are written specifically about ADHD. My book, One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir, is one of those books, – It is about my life growing up with Undiagnosed ADD and how I eventually overcame my struggles to become successful and happy in my own right - my story and the lessons learned from the hindsight of my life thus far. I have had a many ups and downs in my life, twisted roads and seemingly endless loops of taking steps forward only to find myself at the start again, or further behind. In order to get better and overcome many of my struggles I had to give up on certain things and some things I had to remain steadfast with, even when it seemed the worst was still to come.

Central Station Amsterdam
Joan and I spent a wonderful clear day in Amsterdam on Saturday. We had a great time and were relieved to have such splendid weather. The day before, while we were in Utrecht, it had rained the entire day. Saturday started out a little drizzly too, but by the time we reached Amsterdam the weather had cleared and the sun was breaking from the clouds.
Van-Gogh-Museum
Joan is an art history buff and the museums are always on our agenda. We have visited Amsterdam several times in the past because my family, on my mother’s side, is from Holland. This time, though, other than the Van Gogh museum we didn’t really have any other plans and spent the day walking through the city. It was great because we got to see several sites we usually do not come across.

After yesterday’s important post about Milk and Gluten I thought a follow up post is important, considering that there can be withdrawal when one stops eating and drinking these foods. It’s the age old, worse before you get better thing. It sucks, and it is real, therefore must be addressed by anyone attempting such a diet, or a person might stop the diet completely in order to feel better in the short run.
(Edit Side Note: We have a Dietary Group on the ADDer World ADHD Social Network. We further discuss issues with Gluten and food allergies.)
The following article is by Dr. Charles Parker, a member of the interactive ADDer World, he has given permission to repost:
Celiac Notes: Opiate Withdrawal from Gluten and Casein?
Opiate withdrawal from discontinuing gluten and casein? Cautionary note: sounds absurd until you see it.

To say that Gina Pera is an amazing woman is to understate the awesomeness of this woman, her pure heart and what she has done for the ADHD community. She is intelligent, she is stubborn, she is strong and she is passionate and most of all she sincerely cares. When you put all of that together, as an advocate and supporter of those with ADHD, you have someone who has become a voice of scope and scale beyond “I hope you feel better” to “let’s do something about it!”

Dr. Charles Parker is the author of two sites: CorePsychBlog.com, and CorePsychPodcast.com, – and he recently joined our new ADDer World community. I think it would be great to get to know him a bit better:
Dr. Parker, thanks for joining ADDer World! I have been a reader of your blog for sometime now and have found it very helpful.
C: Thanks for your invite Bryan, you are setting an important theme by starting early to build a community of like minded folks so we can all pull together! It looks like your ADDer World Community site it really taking off, and see that your work is already providing a significantly positive service for the ADD community – Time for the docs and the patients to really have a dialogue about what’s going on in ADDland.

***::: Fellow Bloggers, I need your assistance :::***
I have written a book about my life with undiagnosed ADD. It is a very helpful real life story written for society and those who know someone with ADD ADHD or has ADD ADHD. I am self-published through Infinity Publishing and do not have the marketing power, or public reach of a traditional publisher. The reviews have been wonderful and I am grateful. I would like your help with getting the word out that my memoir is available to those who could use words of inspiration and the inside story of what it is like to grow up with ADD ADHD and not know it. If you have a blog or are with the press, please copy this press release and post it on your site. I am attempting something with this blog posting, of my press release, which may not have been done before> I am reaching out and asking blog authors across the world to please help me get the word out about my book. It does not matter if your site is about ADD ADHD or not, it only matters that you have a blog or know someone with a blog and you have the desire to help another blogger by posting this press release. If this works and you post this release and pass it on to other bloggers who will also post it, we may start a whole new type of way of getting the word out and uniting fellow bloggers from everywhere! It’s up to you then.

I was just talking, via email, to Tara about my book and she asked me if I sent her a review copy and then I asked her for her address, without even realizing she had sent me a link with her address in it already. Hey, I still have ADD, even if I succeed with it I still miss some things, but I did not miss her article about Dr. Phil! Like the true coach that she is, she let me figure it out!
Check out Tara and her recent article about Dr. Phil and ADHD. Tara has a lot to offer her readers and is a strong supporter of those with ADD and ADHD, as well as, she is a life coach for ADDers.
