Links

Here are some links to start learning about ADHD. If you've done a google search, you might have come across these resources already. I consider these some of the better places to start learning about ADHD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhd -- Wikipedia article on ADHD. It is a good starting point, with lots of useful links in the references at the bottom of the page. I usually reread this page every few months, as it seems to be updated a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_attention-deficit_disorder -- Wikipedia article on Adult ADHD. Once again, lots of useful links in the references. It is a popular misconception that ADHD is a children's disorder, but this is not true.

http://www.schwablearning.org/pdfs/2200_7-barktran.pdf?date=4-12-05 -- VERY interesting overview of recent understanding of ADHD from Dr. Russell Barkely, an authority on ADHD. It is quite long, but well worth it. It is a transcript of a lecture given by Dr Barkely in 2000.

http://www.add.org/articles/index.html -- List of articles on ADHD. Hosted by the Attention Deficit Disorder Association, a non-profit association formed to provide information and resources for adults with ADHD.
