When Employers Help Employees with ADHD Succeed, Everyone Wins
Summary:
According to the World Health Organization, adults with untreated ADHD lose on average 22 days of productivity per year. Employees with ADHD are 30% more likely to have chronic employment issues, 60% more likely to be fired from a job, and three times more likely to quit a job impulsively than their non-ADHD counterparts. Why should employers care about these realities?
“Turnover is expensive. Replacing people, training them and all that—it’s expensive, it’s time consuming, and work time lost,” says Belynda L. Gauthier, a board member and immediate past president of the non-profit Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or CHADD.

7 Ways To Motivate A Kid With ADHD To Do Homework And Chores
Summary:
All parents fight with their kids to do their chores or homework, but with kids who have ADHD, it’s a whole other battle. Children with ADHD are neurologically wired to have difficulty starting and finishing tasks. They often struggle with executive functioning, a family of mental skills that includes the ability to plan, conceptualize, and execute goals.
“Creating structure is really important,” says Carey Heller, PsyD, a co-chair of CHADD's Attention magazine editorial advisory board.

Communicating Effectively When You Have ADHD
Summary:
Communication problems are common when you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD tends to make it harder to get things done, as it weakens your executive functions. This lowers your ability to remember things, gather your thoughts, and control your impulses. These barriers often get in the way of how you speak and listen to other people, too. The good news is, says CHADD's annual conference planning co-chair Ari Tuckman, PsyD, new techniques and habits can help you get your points across – while making sure your listeners are heard, too.

Learn How to Prioritize With ADHD
Summary:
If you have ADHD you might find it easier to zero in on and prioritize what you need to get done. Shiny new ideas, electronic alerts, and other interruptions can derail your focus and plans for the day. ADHD can cause a lack of executive functioning skills. This means the part of your brain that regulates how you approach and order your life doesn’t work as well as it should.
“If you forget a couple of things, unfortunately later they come screaming back into your awareness,” says CHADD's annual conference planning co-chair Ari Tuckman, PsyD. “They [the tasks] fall off the list, and then they’re gone.”

Diagnosing ADHD Is Hard. Here’s What Teachers Need to Know
Summary:
The chances are high that at some point in your teaching career, you’ll be asked to fill out an assessment (or many) for students suspected of having attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Most diagnoses require observational data of a student’s behaviors in different settings, such as at school and at home. But these observations are subjective and vulnerable to biases. Written by past CHADD President Evelyn Polk Green.

ADHD was not invented to disadvantage Black children and increase pharmaceutical sales
Summary:
ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In a viral video, clinical psychologist and advocate Umar Johnson claims the American Psychiatric Association added the "H" in ADHD so pharmaceutical companies could sell more medicine and make more money. But that's untrue. Children were being prescribed a stimulant to treat attention disorders even before the term attention-deficit disorder, or ADD, was coined in 1980. CHADD PAB Board Member and Resident Expert L. Eugene Arnold, MD, is quoted.

4 Types of Adult ADHD Therapy
Summary:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and/or impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD begins in childhood but continues into adulthood up to 60% of the time.1 In many cases, ADHD is diagnosed in adulthood after it was missed in childhood.

10 Things You Should Know When You Love Someone With ADHD
Summary:
As a mental health professional who specializes in ADHD, I find myself constantly educating people about ADHD behaviors that are often perceived as disrespectful, lazy, careless, self-absorbed, and rude. Advocating for the individual with ADHD can sometimes be a frustrating experience, but imagine being the one who is constantly misunderstood and misjudged. Imagine having to explain daily that your words and actions were misconstrued. Now, imagine people not believing you when you do. Whether you're a friend, family member, or significant other, it can be illuminating, helpful, and worthwhile to dive a little deeper into the behaviors that frustrate you.

ADHD and Autism Aren’t the Same, But They Are Closely Related
Summary:
Kids with ADHD can be distractible and hyperactive. Autistic kids are more often seen as socially awkward. But despite their differences, ADHD and autism are actually two sides of the same coin.
