By workday, I am a licensed clinical social worker (who first obtained a Ph.D. to conduct research and teach) and a third-year law student -- I discovered a J.D. is three years only after I started. During my alone time, I write and am the author of the children's books GOODBYE, SCHOOL (Magination Press, 2019) and HOME (Magination Press, 2022); and co-author of TRANSFORMING ADHD (New Harbinger Publications, 2017).
I value integrity, connection, compassion, kindness, adventure, courage, a willingness to make mistakes, and playfulness. I want to live, and to help others to live, a rich, full, and meaningful life.
May you find my sharing of resources, research, and reflection of use.

The latest research shows a strong correlation between ADHD and PTSD. Perhaps they should screen persons with ptsd for ADHD and vice versa?

Hi, Kate,
Fascinating, right? It’s still early to act though. As the authors note, theirs was the first to find what they found. We need replication. Also, there’s a question to be answered about how specific their results are to ADHD: “Perhaps our findings, for example, are not specific to ADHD, as studies have also identified impaired fear circuitry in other psychiatric disorders.”
