People with #ADHD often worry that they’re lazy. Lazy people do a little work & think they should be winners. Winners work as hard as possible & still worry they're lazy.  If you’re working on your #ADHD , you’re the farthest thing from lazy—you’re winning. Keep that shit up 👊

FYI... My next book is slated for release on May 1.

Teenage girls with ADHD: we want to hear from you! We are hosting a virtual Listening & Learning session on Tuesday, February 20 from 6-8:00 PM EST for middle and high school teens (ages 13-19) who identify as a girl or woman and have ADHD.

@adhdessentials @HowtoADHD Would love to!!

@DrLaCount @HowtoADHD Hey @DrLaCount, Jessica has said great things about you. Any interest in coming on my show to talk about ADHD research and/or science literacy?

So happy that this book is out after so much work! I'm also very touched by the kind words from @HowtoADHD in her acknowledgements 😊

@sloumarsh Just seeing this 😅 Glad we could chat today!

@DrLaCount Hello, would love to talk to you for some research on adhd I am doing - sarah.marsh@theguardian.com. I've tried emailing but getting a bounce back

@hubermanlab I've seen a proliferation of apps with music or frequencies claimed to boost/ameliorate some psychological variable (e.g., focus, anxiety, irritability). Would be interested in the theoretical mechanisms of action, as well as the efficacy vs. effectiveness of these

What would you like to know about Music & the Brain?

@TheeDoctorB @JebroUnity I am on twitter but barely ever on here lol

Parents need to know: There is no research demonstrating that staying OFF social media is harmful to kids. There are many reasons to let kids on, or keep them off social media, but don't feel pressured to give access for this reason. In fact, some of our data shows the most popular and socially competent kids are choosing to get off social media these days!

Check out our new paper reviewing the efficacy and safety of non-traditional treatments (i.e., not medication or psychotherapy) for childhood #ADHD

@HowtoADHD We’re turning in the book today. Why are you soliciting to add more to your overflowing plate? Whhhhhhy?! 😂

@ceyeguez @UWMedicine @seattlechildren Congratulations, Carlos!

Very excited to share that I matched @UWMedicine for internship and will get some amazing training experiences @seattlechildren! Incredibly thankful for everyone who helped me get here! #APPIC #MatchDay

@adhdjesse Too few adult-oriented clinicians get any, let alone thorough, training in managing/assessing ADHD in adulthood. Most training programs still approach ADHD as a childhood problem, unfortunately.

Why are doctors and medical professionals still so misinformed about ADHD? It's not like there's a lack of studies on ADHD. Not trolling, I'm actually curious where the disconnect is—I assume many are acting in good faith, so why do so many believe outdated and debunked myths?

Really happy with how this turned out! Check out the video to learn how CBT can be helpful for ADHD youtu.be/MduZa4ZBbaQ

I’m writing a chapter on the intersectionality between ADHD & other stuff. (I.e. conditions/race/culture/gender/sexuality) so people understand our lived experience better. What would you want people to know? Some tweets may be quoted -- if so, @Real_Theresa will reach out!

Doing my annual pilgrimage to @ABCTNOW to catch up the latest #ADHD research 🤓

@spbecker @joey_fredrick @CincyBehMed @CincyChildrens Congratulations, this is such great news!!

After a decade of research in this area I am beyond thrilled to see the work @joey_fredrick and @CincyBehMed is doing @CincyChildrens to put our learnings into clinical practice for kids and teens with cognitive disengagement syndrome!!! #changetheoutcome
