After a brief summer vacation, we’re back to take on a subject that impacts us all: how to adapt to changing schedules, and the things to think about when considering a major addition to your commitments when it comes to your ADHD. Not only do you have to have an intimate understanding of your current schedule, but you need to approach new commitments with open eyes when it comes to the time baggage they bring with them! Plus, we’ve got a great listener question on when to consider medication for your kids.
