Hi, my name is Kerry, I’m from London, and I work as a admin team leader. I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, finding it a bit overwhelming if I am honest, catching myself looking back over my life and seeing so many instances where it could have been picked up sooner, if only I had known that girls/women could suffer from it too, it wasn’t heard of when I was in school. - I’m here because I want to learn more about ADHD, and avoid the challenges we are all experiencing on a daily basis, to help myself and also other sufferers, things like forgetfulness, fogginess, trying to do too many things at once, avoiding/ignoring the brain chattering and help with procrastination. For fun, I like to: - Paint, Draw, Gardening, candle making, cake making, playing with my cat Smudge, felt animals. I love listening to music, watching movies mainly horrors, but I also love to work (strange, I know) but I do. I have uploading pictures of my plants in my garden as spending time gardening brings me peace and a lot of calm

Hi, my name is Pamela, most call me Pam. I’m from New Hampshire, USA, and I work as a Dietary aid in a hospital, and also have in my toolbelt antiques restorer, artist, picture framer. I have also have experience with training horses, caring for pets, raising children, tax prep, cooking, baking including gluten-free and diabetic, elder-care, life in general. You can ask me questions about any of the above. I want to get these things from ADHD Harmony: Meaningful supportive like-minded connections learning about how to improve our lives with the amazing brains that we've been blessed with. For fun, I enjoy my grandchildren and daughters, and all my work is enjoyable.

I created these printable homework and room reset checklists for kids because I know many of us are raising children with ADHD, supporting students, or know a child who struggles with these daily routines. They’re completely free, and I hope they make things a little easier for someone. I’ll add them in the comments. 💜 If there are other printables that would be helpful, I’d love to hear your ideas!

OK, ADHD brains…please tell me I'm not alone in this. I love books. Real books. Paper, spine, the whole thing. I don't do Kindle. So I see a book I want to read. Sometimes I add it to my “to read” list on Goodreads, but most of the time I just request it from the library. Some books arrive right away. Some have a wait list. Before I know it, I have 35 library books in my apartment, and there is no human way I'm reading 35 books in the time I’m allowed to keep them. So I do the responsible thing: I sort through them, pick which ones to return, and take pictures of the covers so I can request them again later. But…I never request them again later. Meanwhile, more books just keep arriving. It's a crazy, ridiculous, never-ending book conveyor belt. Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️📚

Section 2 of the Awakening Assessment just showed me that the loner kid who read dictionaries for fun didn't actually disappear. She got buried under a people-pleaser who says yes out of fear that the love will vanish if she stops performing. Turns out my "authentic self" was never missing - just waiting for permission.
