Why ask the ADDiva?

If you take a look at my bio (which, by the way, appears on ALL my blogs, not just the ADD blogs), it’s a textbook description of ADD. I bounce around from one interesting thing to another, loving them all.

I’m reading a book about ADD and relationships ("ADD and Romance" by Jonathan Scott Halverstadt (http://http//www NULL.addwarehouse NULL.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/add-and-romance NULL.html)) which has reminded me that pushing "too many" things into my life is all about creating the stimulation my ADD brain needs. I do a lot of things. I create a lot of blogs — this is Number Six. I definitely have the ADD diagnosis.

The Diva part? It just sounds good with ADD. My ex-husband would tell you I AM part diva, but I disagree. I’ve learned to be myself without the diva-ish drama. Most of the time.

So, by combining my life and ADD coaching training with my own life experience of ADD, I came up with Ask the ADDiva. It’s a collection of short answers – I’ll do my best to be brief – to common issues that come up for adult ADD-ers (see how I interrupt myself even in print? Weird).

If you have a particular question related to adult ADD, send it to me via this post (you can add comments/questions at the end of any post and I’ll get them via email).

If you don’t send questions, I’ll make them up. Hey, I believe in honesty even if it hurts. Anyway, I have lots of questions myself. But can I answer my own questions? Stay tuned to find out…

    Hi Linda,

    I have had ADHD all my life (diagnosed in elementary school). So I am pretty comfortable with it, and it is not a problem for me, it\’s just the way I am — ADDiva-like! Anyway, I am getting married soon, and I have a 2 part question.

    1. Do you have any ADD-friendly wedding planning advice. I am trying to do my registry, and I can\’t match my socks, much less my kitchen-ware!!!

    2. Do you have any ADD-friendly marriage advice. My fiance is wonderful, and loves me just the way I am — but he hasn\’t had to live with me and my messes yet. Any suggestions for making this transition easier?

    Thanks, and I love your site!
