Science, story and nourishment for neurodivergent life
ADHD meds: Goal, or breathing space?
ADHD medication can appear to be a simple solution. But the scientific evidence and lived experience tell a more nuanced story. In this article, I explore what the research really says about methylphenidate and other medicines such as amphetamines, how they act on brain networks, and why medication may create the breathing space to live with more calm and less guilt.
Supplements for ADHD: What looks promising, what may help, and what is probably overhyped

In this article, I explore its main conclusions and why they invite us to broaden the way we think about ADHD.
