Hi,

I realized as an adult that it's possible I have it and I want to learn more about it, both in order to better manage my symptoms, but also because I like learning. So my question to you is what resources are you using?

Personally, I prefer short articles and videos. Here is my list:

Russell Barkley, PhD - Keep an eye for the weekly research updates.
ADDitude Magazine - Their How to choose a professional to diagnose your ADHD article was super useful to me, but overall they have a bunch of good articles to read, and a youtube channel.
Broadcasting ADHD Europe - Found them literally today, not much to share.
How to ADHD - I have watched a bunch of videos, they are interesting and fun to watch. I am not sure how much I trust the information in this channel, please let me know if you have an opinion.
Olivia Lutfallah - Mostly shorts.

Edit: I am reading ADHD 2.0, I highly recommend it. My favourite quote so far is "we shoot ourselves in the foot, only to discover a more efficient method to extract the bullet".

I read ADHD 2.0 and it really resonated with me.

Their original book, driven to distraction is extremely good too. Describes the condition really well, I cried reading the case studies it resonated with me so much.

Some of the info is a bit more dated than ADHD 2.0 but I feel it's a bit more comprehensive
