Last week, I recorded a show (to be aired later this month) for Tara McGillicuddy's ADHD Support Talk Radio show, speaking on the topic of ADHD and Hypersensitivities. As we were talking, it became very clear that this time of year can be most challenging for those of us who, along with our ADHD, experience tremendous difficulties with sensory overwhelm.

Ten million years ago, when I was in Junior High School, I was forced to take the dreaded Home EC classes. I must have known early on that I'd need a decent career, since I'd never cut it as a homemaker. Cooking was a nightmare. I clearly remember being given the smallest kitchen in the smallest cubby with students who, like me, didn't know the difference between a teaspoon and a teacup. We were given the assignment of making chocolate chip cookies and it…

What I…

Does the sound of gum chewing, humming, crinkling bags, ticking clocks trigger the urge to put your fist through a wall?



Guess what? You aren't…

So, I've had a bit of a revelation. If you read my last newsletter, you'd know that I waved my daughter goodbye as she left for 3 weeks + 2 days of overnight camp, leaving me with 555 1/2 hours of total freedom. It's my annual vacation from the stress of caring for a daughter with ADD plus a variety of special needs that go from…

Two months ago, we brought home Elliott, our Cockapoo puppy, at 10 weeks of age. Once he got all his shots, I enrolled him in puppy class. I’ve had enough dogs in my life to know that if you don’t curb bad habits early, you’re in for a lifetime of…
