People with #ADHD often worry that they’re lazy.

Lazy people do a little work & think they should be winners. Winners work as hard as possible & still worry they're lazy. 

If you’re working on your #ADHD , you’re the farthest thing from lazy—you’re winning. Keep that shit up 👊

FYI... My next book is slated for release on May 1.

So happy that this book is out after so much work! I'm also very touched by the kind words from @HowtoADHD in her acknowledgements 😊

@sloumarsh Just seeing this 😅 Glad we could chat today!

[Dr. Patrick LaCount @DrLaCount]

@hubermanlab I've seen a proliferation of apps with music or frequencies claimed to boost/ameliorate some psychological variable (e.g., focus, anxiety, irritability). Would be interested in the theoretical mechanisms of action, as well as the efficacy vs. effectiveness of these

Parents need to know:
There is no research demonstrating that staying OFF social media is harmful to kids.
There are many reasons to let kids on, or keep them off social media, but don't feel pressured to give access for this reason. In fact, some of our data shows the most popular and socially competent kids are choosing to get off social media these days!

@ceyeguez @UWMedicine @seattlechildren Congratulations, Carlos!

[Dr. Patrick LaCount @DrLaCount]

@adhdjesse Too few adult-oriented clinicians get any, let alone thorough, training in managing/assessing ADHD in adulthood. Most training programs still approach ADHD as a childhood problem, unfortunately.

We can't control how we feel. But we can affect our thoughts and behavior...which do affect how we feel :)

I’m writing a chapter on the intersectionality between ADHD & other stuff. (I.e. conditions/race/culture/gender/sexuality) so people understand our lived experience better.

What would you want people to know?

Some tweets may be quoted -- if so,
@Real_Theresa
