How many kids with ADHD does it take to change a lightbulb?

Let's go ride bikes! If you can relate to this joke about ADHD, you probably understand it a bit. I am convinced that the vast majority of educators, especially those in administration, could probably be diagnosed with ADHD and maybe, just maybe, a few of them were "a handful" as kids. Just saying.

There is a huge amount of info on ADHD and "executive functions" available online and everywhere else. Some of it is great, a lot of it is garbarge. For the month of September, I am going to try to navigate what's what. What might help and what is a huge waste of time and energy. I have read and liked these fact sheets from the National Resource Center on ADHD. They are easy to understand, give research-based information and are a great resource for parents and educators. Check them out! I downloaded them all to Evernote as well, so if you'd rather go that route, click here. I have about 90 notes on ADHD at this spot, so see my very first post (above Evernote) for some quick instructions. Anyone without ADHD will understand them - - ha ha.
