Introduction to ADHD Podcast
My name is Leslie. I am launching a podcast tailored to sufferers of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It's called ADDitude ADDjustment.

Diagnosing ADD and ADHD
How did you find out that you had Attention Deficit Disorder? The most common way is when a teacher notices a child's hyperactive behavior and suggests that the child be tested for A.D.D. But MANY of us discovered we had ADD when we were in our 20s, 30s or 40s. This is especially common with women and with those who suffer from the inattentive type of ADD. In this podcast, you will hear one person's personal journey of self-discovery of ADD. by Leslie

ADHD Treatment Options
In this podcast, you'll learn about some of the things you can do to better control and minimize the symptoms of ADD: exercise, diet and sleep. Also, before you take medication, be sure you're working with a good psychiatrist who can accurately diagnose your ADD or ADHD. by Leslie

Medications for ADD, ADHD (Part 1)
This is the first in a two-part podcast that addresses the sometimes controversial issue of medication for treatment of A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. ADD is a medical problem in the brain, but it manifests as a behavior problem. People with ADD are unable to complete tasks, to focus, to plan and to control impulses. They can be annoying and disruptive. When considering medication treatments, it's important for parents to keep an open mind. by Leslie

Medications for ADD, ADHD (Part 2)
This is the second in a two-part podcast that addresses the sometimes controversial issue of medication for treatment of A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. We hear about how getting a good psychiatrist who really understands ADD can give you the tools to help you remember to take your medication. There are other treatments for controlling ADD such as counseling and behavior modification that do not involve medication. However, even if you're opposed to taking medication, I recommend that you try medication, even for a little while, as it will help you adopt behavior modification techniques to help you control the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder. by Leslie

Attention Deficit Disorder at Work--Dealing with Distractions (Part 1)
This is the first in a three-part series of podcasts about how to deal with distractions at work. People with Attention Deficit Disorder have a hard time focusing and completing tasks. And this is what we all have to do at work. So how can you control your A.D.D. and be more productive at work? by Leslie

Attention Deficit Disorder at Work--Dealing with Distractions (Part 2)
ADD and ADHD really affects your career. Because us ADDers are easily distracted, we have a hard time finishing tasks. You may have already taken those steps to remove distractions at work that are within your control. But what do you do when co-workers are causing the distractions? Maybe a cubicle neighbor plays distracting music. Or your officemate uses the speaker phone. Or people are constantly visiting and making noise. by Leslie

Attention Deficit Disorder at Work--Dealing with Distractions (Part 3)
In Part Three, you’ll hear how to talk to your boss. You don’t need to tell him you have A.D.D. But you do need to focus on what the boss cares about - productivity. Phrase your accommodation request as a tactic to make you more efficient. by Leslie
