You’re presentations are THE ONLY ones worth giving my time to- it’s real, just like the struggle! You have given me HOPE when I’ve nearly given up on thinking that there’s help for this situation that ADHD has taken us hostage in. Thank you. Please don’t ever stop sharing your wisdom & experience. I hope to learn your perspective and suggestions for children & parents dealing with ignorant teachers & school people.

This is such a fantastic talk. I’m going to look up a local parenting course (in Australia). This has helped me realise that we’ve been doing a lot of things the wrong way. Thank you for sharing this!

Can I get a link to these slides please? Especially the slide regarding lagging SEF skills in elementary school. Every bullet on here fits my 8 year old perfectly and we want to share this with the school and explain them.

So episodic memory can be a way of self sabotage? Ruminating?
