ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder interferes with the executive functioning of the brain. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting impulse control, task completion, time organization, emotional regulation and more. It can feel isolating and challenging, which makes these ADHD blogs perfect to read. Whether you’re looking for more information or want to find a community of others like you, here are 15 ADHD blogs to help you make sense of your diagnosis.

1. ADDitude Magazine: Guest Blogs

ADDitude Magazine is a great resource for all things ADHD and ADD. Their guest blog section has first-hand accounts from parents, teachers, and those who grew up with parents who had ADHD.

We really appreciate this blog about parenting while having ADHD, where Dana Storino writes “I know it’s hard to relax and have faith that you’re doing a good job as a parent, especially when it feels like a constant struggle. It’s the hardest job in the world. But trust me, you are doing just fine. Most importantly, you never give up. That is love.”

2. Living with ADD/ADHD, by Tara McGillicuddy

Tara McGillicuddy has been working in the ADHD sphere for years now. While she used to blog more frequently, she now hosts the popular ADHD Support Talk Radio podcast. Her blog tackles topics like finding the right structure for your ADHD and dealing with stress

“Since it’s very likely we are even more stressed out than others, it’s even more important to reduce the stress and overwhelm in our lives,” she writes. “So, part of the reason I’m writing today is to remind you and help you become more aware and mindful of the importance of effective self-care in your life right now.”

3. A Splintered Mind

We’ve shared Douglas Cootey’s blog a few times now, but we can’t help it. His witty takes on ADHD life and mental illness keep us coming back. If you’re not familiar with Cootey’s work, the ADHD and depression blogger has been writing since 2005 and has become a well-known voice in mental health.

While not a doctor or mental health professional, we still think his humor and real life experiences are worth a read if you’re looking for some light-hearted companionship on ADHD.

4. Mothering the Storm With Lacy Estelle

After going through the process of receiving diagnoses for herself and her oldest and middle sons, Lacy set out to become as informed as possible about ADHD and how it can impact parenting and relationships. She then realized how much she could help other moms, and has established an active and welcoming community for mothers who have ADHD themselves, or those who have children with ADHD.

Topics include confronting ADHD and shame, building an ADHD child’s self-esteem, and what not to say to ADHD parents.

5. Marla Cummins

Cummins is a certified ADHD coach who helps her clients reach their goals and understand themselves better. She offers to help you find when you best operate and create an environment where you thrive.

If you’re considering finding a personal coach to better deal with your ADHD, start with her blog. Topics include using self-compassion to reach goals and strategies to stop ruminating.

6. CHADD Blog

The Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) organization wants to help children and adults dealing with ADHD get access to resources and information that can help them live fulfilling lives.

Their blog is more focused on awareness and building support – but this can still be a good resource for anyone looking for more information on ADHD and its related issues.

7. The ADHD Homestead

Fiction writer and blogger Jaclyn Paul has been writing on ADHD since 2014, documenting her own journey with ADHD and offering advice to others. From parenting as an adult with ADHD (or parenting a child with ADHD) to dealing with the stress of being somewhere at a specific time, Paul shares her insight with kindness and sincerity.

She has a great list of blogs to start with if you’re new, like how to have difficult conversations or dealing with time blindness.

8. Raised on Ritalin 

Tyler Page was 8 years old when he was diagnosed with ADHD. Now as an adult and comics artist, his blog is a memoir on growing up with ADHD, taking medications, and learning how to be a person in the world.

Several of his blogs are also available in comic form, which may be great for those who enjoy comics more than reading. The result is a lighthearted, but very informative, look at the life of someone with ADHD and the difficult subject of ADHD medications.

9. TotallyADD

Rick and Ava Green started TotallyADD after working on their ADHD documentary and finding a ton of misinformation as well as a lack of resources for those with ADHD. The website and blog are home to humor, information, and social interaction for anyone suffering from ADHD or ADD (they use the terms interchangeably).

The ADHD blog is a great example, with posts ranging from why those with ADHD may have more migraines to author Rick Green sharing the things that annoy him the most because of his ADHD.

10. ADDA 

The Attention Deficit Disorder Association provides information and education resources in a safe environment for adults with ADHD looking for guidance, support, and more. Their mission is simple: they want adults with ADHD to thrive.

You can organize their blog by topic, from finances to health to ADHD in college. Looking for a good place to start? Their blog on maintaining a routine is full of helpful advice. “No routine can stay exactly the same forever, even if you love it at first. The trick isn’t so much being able to discipline yourself, or “stick to it,” it’s more about finding ways to tweak the activity so you get excited again, and find some external support,” the blog states.

11. Untapped Brilliance 

ADHD coach Jacqueline Sinfield doesn’t have ADHD herself but the experience of living with an undiagnosed condition (Jacqueline was diagnosed with dyslexia in adulthood) and trying to navigate a world that is designed for neurotypical brains allows her to relate to her clients. She works with adults who find themselves confused about their ADHD diagnosis. “On one hand it’s great because now you know why you are the way you are,” she writes. “On the other hand, a new diagnosis means a new set of questions and concerns.”

Her blog includes helpful information like how sleeping apps may help you get some much-needed rest or productivity tips from other artists.

12. ADHD And Marriage

Communicating with a partner is tricky, even in the best of circumstances. Add ADHD to the mix and it can be even trickier. Melissa Orlov is an author and marriage consultant who’s been working with couples affected by ADHD for 14 years.

Her blog is for those who feel like their ADHD is impacting their marriage or for a partner looking to better understand their significant other’s ADHD. Jump in with Orlov’s favorite posts to learn more.

13. Glitter Brain

Liz Cordeiro was diagnosed with ADHD just last year, finally giving a name to the myriad of issues that plagued her whole life. She started Glitter Brain to document her story as well as help others in similar positions. Why glitter?

“I like to think that glitter can really connect to how ADHD functions. It’s all over the place, it’s messy, it’s impossible to fully contain. And yet it’s fun and creative and adds a little shine to everything it touches,” Cordeiro writes. “If you want glitter to work for you without the mess, you might need to adjust your approach, but it can be a beautiful addition to any art project.”

14. Edge Foundation

The Edge Foundation helps students and children with ADHD find the executive function skills they need to succeed in their academics, like overcoming time blindness, organization, and sustained attention.

But their blog isn’t just for students. Anyone with ADHD can benefit from learning about how hyperfocus can be a benefit in the right career, or how exercise can help executive dysfunction.

15. Thriving With ADHD

This parenting blog is a double-hitter: Not only does blogger Lou Brown have ADHD, but so does her son. After realizing many of her struggles were related to her late diagnosis, she dedicated herself to finding tools, information, and resources to help her son, while also unpacking the years of struggles she faced prior.

“That’s not to say that my ADHD no longer challenges me,” she writes. “It does on a daily basis and probably always will. However, I am more at peace with myself and my journey now, and choose to view any challenges I still have as further opportunities to learn and grow.”

Her blog deals with parenting, ADHD, and the unique challenges those with ADHD face.

16. InFlow Blog

Inflow was created by a team of clinicians and coaches, many of whom personally have ADHD — so they know what life with neurodivergence is like firsthand. InFlow itself is an affordable and accessible solution to help people with ADHD thrive in their daily lives. Their ADHD blog is an extension of the ongoing work they do in and for the neurodivergent community.

With articles featuring insights from the most recent ADHD research, practical tools, and applicable insight into living your most balanced neurodivergent life, InFlow is a fantastic and well rounded resource.

17. ADHD Roller Coaster

As an Adult ADHD author and educator, Gina Pera’s goal has always been to make comprehensive understanding and evidence-based knowledge about adult ADHD accessible to the average person and mental-health professionals. The kind of information and insight that helps you understand your particular ADHD-related issues and plausible solutions.

For over 20 years, she has helped both adults with ADHD, and their loved ones, find a way to navigate life through a neurodivergent lens. Pera’s goals for tone and approach with her work are to be compassionate, responsible, and comprehensive. She takes her work seriously, and adds a dash of humor when appropriate. This blog is an extension of her impressive body of work on the topic of Adult ADHD.

Evidence has shown that online therapy can be effective in the treatment of ADHD symptoms. BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, experienced therapist to help you manage your ADHD symptoms and reduce any negative impact on your life and relationships. Online therapy with BetterHelp starts at $60 per week. Complete a brief questionnaire and get matched with the right therapist for you.

18. ImpactParents

ImpactParents, formerly ImpactADHD, was created to help parents stay sane while raising mentally complex kids. Parents of complex children – those with ADHD, anxiety, and other challenges of executive function – are often desperate for information and anything that can potentially help their children.

However, parents ultimately need more than information and advice; they need adequate help to parent from inspiration, not desperation. They don’t simply need to know what the experts suggest, they need help figuring out how to apply those insights. They need support and training to be equipped to help their children, and that’s what makes this blog different from most online resources. Providing you with cutting edge information about your child’s challenges, and then helping you put that information into practice in a way that works for the needs of you and your family.

19. Black Girl, Lost Keys

René Brooks is the mind behind Black Girl Lost Keys, a website focusing on life with ADHD through the lens of the Black experience. Brooks wants you to know that life with ADHD gets better when it is managed well, and she invites you to come learn what Life With Lost Keys is all about.

This website and blog is full of resources for black neurodivergent people navigating a white centric and neurotypical world. From personal stories and lived experience, to coping skills and practical applications, Black Girl Lost Keys has an abundance of priceless information to offer.

20. Adulting With ADHD

Rachel Idowu started Adulting with ADHD as a vulnerable expression of how she felt, and what she learned, while navigating an ADHD diagnosis in her 20s. As she learned more about herself, and in turn ADHD, Idowu started to share more consistently via her newsletter and social media.

Giving a vulnerable, and often, real time look into her ongoing journey of navigating an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood. Rachel says one of the most rewarding pieces of her journey thus far has been finding out that she played a role in some of her audience finally advocating for and receiving an ADHD diagnosis.

21. Extra Focus

Jesse Anderson created this weekly newsletter to help others understand how the ADHD brain works so they can find the focus they need to thrive in their daily lives. He wants to help people learn to work with, rather than against, their neurodivergence and their brain’s unique wiring.

Every Tuesday subscribers get insights and applicable strategies to help neurodivergent people better manage their time, energy, and motivation to avoid burnout and live balanced and fulfilling lives.
