This is my site. The posts are slow to come because I do a lot of research, and I also collect resources (on the right side of the blog) I would love feedback. I am going to post soon on it about some of the different drugs out there (just from a layman's perspective).
let me know what you think! (sorry in advance for the problems with the images on the site. I'm working on it.)

I'm not diagnosed (I wish....seriously....maybe i'd feel normal and not crazy/falling behind/scatterbrained/forgetful/etc) but a book I found gave me alot of help with various parts of my life....even though that list where we're supposed to write down everything is kept being lost. lol Yeah, i laugh at myself alot....between bouts of frustration.... lol

Ok, that book....its called: "10 Simple Solutions to ADD: How to overcome Chronic Distraction & Accomplish your Goals" and it's by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, PH.D.

Ok, despite the fact that I'm still a sufferer (no, i'm not S&M about it...lol) and so maybe the books not perfect, but it does give loads of helpful advice. Now....if only I could remember it all. lol

But still, great book with great advice. Recommend it to all.
Thanks for this!

Excellent article available at Medscape:

Managing ADHD in an Adult With Psychiatric Comorbidity

Not sure if you have to register to gain access but registration is free.

I've found some helpful information via the Medscape site's
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Resource Center
http://www.medscape.com/resource/adhd

The only problem I have with CHADD (which my psych dr recommended) is there is a fee to join per year. Same Dr recommended Driven to Distraction.

The books my ADHD Life Coach recommended are:

More Attention, Less Deficit - Success Strategies for Adults with ADHD by Dr. Ari Tuckman (He is having a free discussion on the 29th at addclasses.com)

Is It You, Me, or Adult ADD? (there is more to this title) by Gina Pera

I am getting the first for me, the second for my husband (who is adrift on a sea of estrogen in an ADHD ship as me and both our daughters are ADHD). I'll let you know how those are.

Some sites (mainly for women) that I have found that are good are:
momswithadhd.com
womenwithadd.com (Or ADHD, can't remember right now)

These are run by life coaches who specialize in ADHD.

ADDitude.com - this is a magazine and forum, though the site is not very ADHD friendly with the ads, but it is the price of doing business like that.

Hope this helps!

Get Driven to Distraction today. It has been out for quite a while but is one of the best introductions you'll find about ADHD. It is written by two doctors (one who has ADHD) that are very active in the field. There is a general explanation of ADHD, both adult and child: what it is, how it affects you and others, medications and many life stories that may have you crying as you see yourself in their stories.

Please be aware of the " I'm going to get to that" syndrome we with ADHD fall into and go right out and grab it.
