I appreciate all the reading and organizing and synthesizing you offer here! This is substantial work that I’m not sure readers really know how to appreciate all the time. (It’s easier to just post a “linksticle” and press go! But those don’t give me the context I’m usually looking for. Oh and thank you for the shoutout. That piece was from a while ago but it means a lot to me. 🫶
My oldest son (age 10.5) has ADHD, and although he’s never received an official diagnosis my husband probably is too. Some resources that I have found and loved to help me navigate and understand him are actually a few Instagram accounts. I appreciate the information coming in small, manageable snippets because I get overwhelmed easily with all that’s out there, and I can find the information that’s most applicable to my situation. So here is what I love (again, all Instagram accounts):
@thechildhoodcollective: two child psychologists and a SLP who specialize in ADHD. They do so well at explaining things, encouraging parents, and teaching you to advocate for your kids. They have two awesome online courses, but even without purchasing those their blog and Instagram account teach you so much!
@drbrianftw: he’s not currently active on his account, but what is there is SO GOOD! He’s a clinical psychologist who specializes in ADHD and also has it himself. He breaks things down and explains them so well!
@connor.dewolfe: a young adult who posts humorous videos about what it’s like to have ADHD. Not informational, but a fun way to see how the symptoms or quirks of ADHD play out in life.
I know there are SO MANY resources out there, but I’ve appreciated these ones a lot, especially the top 2.
I've had this starred in my inbox until I had the time to read it properly, and I'm so glad I gave it the attention it deserves--you put so much thought and context into this amazing list. Thank you!
Thank you so much for including me here. I appreciate it! And what an amazing list of resources and links. I discovered so many new ones, and as someone else also mentioned, I loved all the context. It's such a helpful pointer to different kinds of resources. Very cool!

Thank you so much for this and for linking my blog. I'm realizing it is not as rare as I thought to be a HSP and have ND kids!
My little oak tree and I love the idea that an acorn can only ever become an oak tree.

I love how thorough this is! My post that's coming out on Monday is on this very topic, as well. I'd love to link to yours as a great resource, too!
