About · the site
Adult ADHD reference. Continuously updated.
Articles, guides, community findings, and curated tools — sourced to peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, and named institutions.
What’s on the site
- Knowledge base — research-grounded articles across four sections (what ADHD is, how it affects you, how meds work, how activities help). Every claim links to a peer-reviewed source.
- Start here — five-stage orientation for the newly diagnosed.
- Living with it — daily-life challenges grouped by area: time, emotions, relationships, work, medication, identity.
- Community — anonymised submissions. Patterns that cross a threshold get written into the knowledge base with sample size attached.
- The Playground — curated games, fidgets, and focus tools.
- Children & family — for parents and families.
- All articles A–Z — flat searchable index of every article on the site.
Sources
Peer-reviewed papers, clinical guidelines (NICE, APSARD, CADDRA, AAP), institutional sources (FDA, DEA, NIMH, CDC), and books by clinician-researchers. YouTube, Substacks, individual creator blogs, podcasts, and magazine reader essays are not cited as evidence. Community signal is reported as community signal, never as evidence.
Not medical advice
Nothing on the site is a substitute for clinical judgment. Diagnosis, medication, dosing, and treatment decisions belong with a qualified clinician. For crisis support, the CHADD helpline and NIMH resources are appropriate starting points.
Affiliate links
Book and product links on the site (in the Playground, in the Start Here and Children & Family book shelves, and in any inline book recommendation) are Amazon Associates affiliate links. If you buy through one, a small commission helps offset the site’s costs. Playground items carry an explicit aff label.
No ads, no sponsored content, no paid placements, no investors. Recommendations are not influenced by commission; books are selected against the cross-source rule documented on each page.
How it updates
Knowledge base entries update when a cited study is superseded, when guidelines change, or when community signal warrants new coverage. The updates feed tracks recent changes.
