Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Good afternoon, Susan Hoffman for Attitude magazine. Today we're very

very happy to have Terry Matlin with us. Terry is a pioneer in the topic of

Mom's of ADD.

She has been an advocate for moms with ADD

offering tips, inspiration, and very practical resources

at her site, ADHD consults.com. She's the author of a wonderful book of Tips for One with ADD, which you can

find on Amazon and I urge you to do so. So with that, Terry, I'm happy to turn it over to you.

Thanks, Susan, and thank you so much for inviting me.

Thanks for the introduction, too, and I'm just going to briefly explain how I got into the field of ADHD and women with ADHD and then moms with ADHD and to start I am a woman with

ADHD and I am a mother of a daughter that has ADHD and other special needs and I'm also the mother of a another daughter who does not have ADHD so I found that in my work doing a lot of nonprofit work with Chad and Adda and other agencies organizations that women

and moms were really feeling left out that they were so overwhelmed they didn't know how to

manage day-to-day activities and from the

amount of contact I got through my work I realized you know this was an area that

was really in need of resources and help. So I developed

AEDCouncils.com I wrote the book Survival Tips for Women with ADHD and I do a

lot of presentations locally and nationally. So I'm here today to answer your questions and just know that I've lived most of what you are going to ask me about. I see things from all sides have an AEDB myself and I'm really glad that you're

all here today to to work together and see what we can come up with to help solve some of your

problems.

Great thank you, Terry.

I mean, here's the first question.

I would say that this is a question which was echoed by a number of questioners.
