One of the best
things about the Internet and about serious, scholarly, and devoted
professional help sites is being able to find the accurate, timely, and
truly informative articles related to your search. The ADHD
article is among such benefits. While we can find
astoundingly apt materials in the bookstore on ADHD (Attention Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder), such as Kate Kelly and Peggy
Ramundo’s lifesaving book, or those equally useful works by
Thom Hartmann, Shari Holden, and others, the ADHD article is quicker,
more easily accessible (online, I mean), and is just as valuable as
written by an ADHD specialist, expert, and/or professional.
You can start with the ADHD site or ADHD ezine (online magazine), for
example to find almost any ADHD article as it is relevant to you and
yours:
*BTE, borntoexplore.org, offers information and a number of helpful,
informative ADHD articles for scholarship and personal use.
*ADDitude magazine is online and by subscription, and has so many
practical and realistic ADHD articles for the professional, the
student, the parent, and the adult that you will want your own scrip! I
discovered the magazine through the college where I worked, and read
every magazine issue cover to cover. I then had to subscribe,
so I wouldn’t be tempted to keep the copies I borrowed.
You will also want to check out the ADHD article databases:
*The absolute premier site for ADHD articles is ADD Consults
(addconsults.com). It will take you a minute to figure out
the organizational system, but once you decide on a subject area, or
sub-topic, you will get ADHD articles on everything from ADD strategies
to co-morbidity information to ADHD articles about children and adults
with ADD. The articles are upscale and professional,
clinical, and/or personal, and are a must read! The site is engineered
by Terry Matlin, MSW, ASCW, and features the astoundingly superbly
brilliant support of ADHD article writers who are ADD
specialists—Edward Hallowell, John J. Ratey, Sari Solden,
Thom Hartmann, Michelle Novotny, and many others!
And once you find the primary source that is most user-friendly and
most helpful to you, sign up for a free newsletter, one which offers an
ADHD article or two every week or month (whenever the newsletter is
delivered to your ebox):
*Terry Matlin, ACSW, also offers a newsletter which features an ADHD
article, book reviews, and blurbs on many ADHD aids/products for the
ADHDer, as I call her or him (as I call myself).
*Breath and Shadow, a monthly (or thereabouts) newsletter put out by
ROSC as the Journal of Literature and Disability Culture, is for
writers and artists with any or all disabilities, and issues a monthly
newsletter with a predetermined theme, but occasionally you might get
an ADHD article.
As you can see, you can find the most scholarly ADHD articles, or the
most personal and still accurate and relevant ADHD article written by a
non-credentialed individual who has or knows someone who has to put up
with the frustrations and challenges and special and unique gifts of
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a.k.a ADD.
