I haven't posted the info for #NationalADHDAwarenessMonth for yesterday or today. I appologize but the past couple of days have been a major challenge for me and focusing on much of anything has been quite a challenge. My trip took a lot out of me and I'm just not bouncing back like I'd hoped. Right now I consider it a major accomplishment if I can decide what I want to eat. So I'll catch up, but not tonight.

Day 3 of #NationalADHDAwarenessMonth is all about the secrets of the #ADHD brain. This article is so validating to me and explains so much! I was always told that I wasn't trying hard enough, wasn't good enough, or not working up to my potential, or that if I just put in a little more effort I could do so much more, and that still haunts me today, almost thirty years after leaving school. I feel like this is an article that the entire world needs to read! https://www.additudemag.com/secrets-of-the-adhd-brain/

For anyone who is following my #NationalADHDAwarenessMonth posts, I'm also doing them as public posts on Facebook, where I'm also trying to add my own experiences and thoughts when possible. You don't have to be on Facebook to see them since they're public, but you can visit my page at https://www.facebook.com/kittytech/

The topic of #NationalADHDAwarenessMonth day 2 is Deficient Emotional Self-Regulation (#DESR). This is not currently recognized as a diagnostic component of #ADHD, however it's very common for these things to go together. With more research, this will hopefully change. https://www.additudemag.com/desr-adhd-emotional-regulation/

Welcome to October, which also happens to be #NationalADHDAwarenessMonth. Over the past 25 years, a lot has been learned about this, and I'm going to try to post some sort of fact or question about #ADHD each day this month. So, for today's question, Is ADHD a Cognitive Disorder or Behavioral Disorder? https://www.additudemag.com/is-adhd-a-behavioral-disorder-or-a-cognitive-disorder/
