moimeme Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 This is the second edition of a post from some months ago. I have removed two links which no longer work and added another couple that were in other posts in that thread. ___________________________________________ I have had several requests for more information on AD/HD. Rather than send PMs to the folks who requested, here's a set of links I've pulled from the stuff we'll have on our site. Mods, there is only one site which might be considered 'commercial' but it's an extremely good counselling site with many of the best AD/HD experts on it. That site has lots of other information, too, so the pay-for-a-counsellor part is only one bit. Hope this helps. I have more information on many other subjects, including the comorbidities, meds, etc. but many of these sites also have stuff. Still, if you don't see what you need in this collection, PM me and I'll send you more specific links for whatever subject you're interested in.
