Understanding Autism and ADHD: Symptoms, Therapy Benefits, and Social Skills
Autism and ADHD share several symptoms, which can sometimes complicate diagnosis and treatment. Finding the right provider is important.
Celebrate Pride Month!
Pride month is an opportunity to raise political awareness of current issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month, and there are many street parties, community events, poetry readings, public speaking, street festivals and educational sessions, all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants.
Pride Month is important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain, we have come a long way and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness.

Be Yourself and the Rest of the World Will Adjust
As much as I love this phrase, I am also mindful of how hard it is for children and teens to contemplate the idea of just being who they are. Heck, it is even hard for adults! Being your authentic self can feel risky in our screen-obsessed world.
Girls and ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often manifests differently in girls, which can make it challenging to identify and address. Early identification is important for preserving self-esteem and helping girls reach their potential.
