New ADHD Resources I've Discovered

One of my blog posts, Did Anyone See Pigs in the Sky?, has been included in the Blog Carnival on http://www.brainblogger.com/, yeah! It really isn't a big deal, but I am excited about it. It's not Parents Magazine, but I'll take it for now. The site is all about matters of the brain and designed to be a more personal perspective. There are a lot of good articles and blog entries about ADHD.

I saw Howie Mandel on the Today show a couple weeks back proclaiming that ADHD is real. It took me a couple weeks to remember, but I finally checked out the web site he gave out (about 10 times in a 4-minute interview) and it is fantastic. It appears that it is compiled by a drug company but it has fantastic resources for parents of ADHD children (and ADHD adults as well). The resources are simply written and formatted in a manner that they can be easily referenced over and over. They also provide checklists, homework organization form, and more. Check it out at
