A resource for ADHD
This site will host links and information about groups, websites, internet forums and anything to do with ADHD that I want to share with the world. I'm based in the UK and the information will be firmly aimed at ADHDers in the UK but I'm willing to host anything pertinant from anywhere.I'll also be developing a "for Dummies" guide to ADHD over time, so make sure you check back regulalry to see how far i've got.
