October is ADHD Awareness Month. Some of us in the field worked hard years ago to make this happen. The Cliffs Notes version is that in 2004, Dr. Michele Novotini spearheaded this project along with David Giwerc and Evelyn Green, who were able to get Congress to pass US Resolution 390. Back then, it was a one-day event, but through their efforts, it was soon revised to be a monthly event, held each October.
To celebrate how far we’ve come in the field of ADHD, I’m dedicating this post to share with you just some of the many events going on this month. Plus loads of resources. Just for you! Never stop learning and getting support!
Tara McGillicuddy of ADDclasses continues her annual tradition of offering up the exciting ADHD Expo. Top experts in the world are presenting on all kinds of ADD related topics.
I will be presenting on “Why is My ADHD Getting Worse? Tips and Insights for Women with ADHD.” The event runs from October 2-8 and you’ll be able to hear my session on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 11am EST. I’ll be there to answer your questions, too! Registration is FREE! So sign up now at http://adhd.events/expotm .
