BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Attention Deficit Disorder Editor help needed!

Hi, I'd love to have some folks to interact with on this forum. Are there any editors who would be willing to help me out with this?

I've been doing a few posts in other forums, and it would be great to have a bit of action here!

Turning in for the night-sweet dreams to all,
Connie

Here I am!

I'd like to hear more about real life situations involving ADD challenges (without giving out real names!) And some non-medication methods of coping. It's not that I don't agree with meds but it's hard to find the right one. Haven't had much success there.

Also, I already taken other meds and don't want them to counteract each other!

Here are some ideas that I have for articles:
*Strategies for Planning
*ADD and Thinking About the IEP
*ADD and House Cleaning Ideas
*ADD and Artistic Expression
*ADD and Music
*ADD and Meditative Techniques
*Success in School and ADD (how to teach students to be successful in school by having them learn to turn in work)
*ADD and College
*ADD and Living on Your Own

Which of these are you most interested in? Do you have other ideas that you would like me to write about?

Let me know,
Connie

Oops, I forgot!

*ADD and Sleep Problems

Now, I think it's time for me to go beddy-bye.

I will be glad to help out on this forum. My husband is ADD as well as my children.

I love the housecleaning topic.

Personally, I would love to see more on living with ADD people, learning to communicate, methods to help remember things, how to develop lists and sticking to them, when to seek out medicine, when to change therapists, ADD and marriage problems, and on and on.

Now that we have an editor here, I'll be looking more at the site. I really need the help in this area.

Wow, Rebecca, thanks for all of the feedback. If you have time, see what you think of the housecleaning topic now. I revised it to offer more specific ideas about getting the house organized.

My best mode is overdrive. When I am incredibly busy, I am most organized. Usually. It may be the adrenaline. I am not currently taking medication, but I am going to start that journey again, soon.

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I'm looking forward to cruising through your herb site. I teach a gardening course at the local community college. My students are adults with developmental differences who are interested in enrichment classes. I think I'll take some sage and mint in for them this week. The cold hasn't clobbered those herbs yet.

Great ideas, Connie!

I'd like to read about ADD and Artistic Expression, ADD and Meditation, ADD and Music, and ADD and Work Success.

However, all of your ideas (especially the ones about ADD and school issues for kids) will be greatly appreciated by the ADD readership!

I appreciate you taking the time to give me so much feedback. I'll add these topics to my list!
