Topics include (but are not limited to:) Ritalin (positive and negative), diet, positive discipline, alternative discipline, parental stress, childhood stress, mental focus, genius information alternatives to standard medication, tips for those outside of the family, social stigmas, adult ADD/ADHD, resources, peers, schooling, restaurants, vacationing, and any accurate information or personal stories relating to this disorder.

Submissions: We need articles, interviews, book reviews, stories, poetry, artwork, black and white photos, my stories, self-help and how-to articles, humorous pieces and other interesting works. Stories from children are especially appreciated.

Lead articles should be 800-2000 words and all other pieces should be under 1500 words. The shorter the better. We love how-to articles and interviews of authors and doctors. In desperate need for medical updates. ALWAYS INCLUDE A WORD COUNT! If mailing in the submission, include a SASE or your material will not be answered or returned. Include research citations.

We only ask for one-time rights and will accept reprints if you write verifying where the piece was published and what rights they purchased. If your work is published in the print newsletter, you will receive contributor copies as payment. At this time we cannot pay for print or web work.

The newsletter does accept advertising. Write to the below address for advertising information.
