Harnessing the Power of Podcast Technology to Help those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Adultadhdpodcast.com offers free audio shows on coping with ADD/ADHD. "Abby", a high-tech worker in Seattle, has a secret. She has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known by the initials ADD or ADHD. Symptoms include the inability to maintain attention, impulsive behaviors and/or motor restlessness. AD/HD, if left untreated, can result in difficulty with personal relationships, staying employed, or completing an education. "I haven't told a lot of people about my ADD because once you let the cat out of the bag, you can't put it back in," she said. "It's a problem I deal with every day. Most of the time, I can manage it. But I have to keep alert on how this disorder affects me. I do that through my podcast."
