Ginger Snaap and the Hodgepodge Monster

This is not a story by Tim Burton. Once upon a time there lived a magnificent creature by the name of Hodgepodge the Post. Hodgepodge was in love with the beautiful maiden Ginger Snaap, who was also known as the only resident of Edward Hotspur‘s land of Blah. Page six. On a cloudy and cold Thursday … Continue reading »

Have you taken your meds today?

Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: Does your partner ask you that infuriating question when you’re already running late: “Where did I put my keys?” I hear it all the time. Not just occasionally. Every. Single. Day. And is your partner really annoying? They catch you and tickle you and you can’t get away and it … Continue reading »

Equal Opportunity Inattentiveness

Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: By now, I think most people realize that girls can have ADHD too. It’s not a gender-linked condition; diagnosis rates should actually be closer to 50-50, though some say 3:1 (but that makes no sense to me and I haven’t seen those authors cite research articles – which I’m also … Continue reading »

Black Box Warnings Relationships

Tam is this week’s guest blogger on Black Box Warnings - granted, Laurie Dupar offered to write something for us, so we created a slot in our schedule for her post this week. Tam is a self-professed “non compliant” guest blogger: I asked Tam for his post a night before, to no avail; I asked for a … Continue reading »

Guest Blogger: Laurie Dupar

Le Clown met Laurie Dupar through emails. I had adopted Laurie’s ADHD Medication Log when my son first started taking Concerta. As I am polite, and have manners, I wrote a thank you message to Laurie, for her chart, and for her work with ADHD. Laurie answered back, promptly, and asked if she could do anything else … Continue reading »
