1. New York Times: Is it possible to outgrow ADHD?
I came across this interesting article, written by Cheryl Maguire on whether or not itâs possible to outgrow ADHD. In my view, someone doesnât âoutgrowâ ADHD. I think it comes down to better management, coping strategies and access to resources like an ADHD coach.
Hereâs an extract from the article:
âPeople are outgrowing the D.S.M. criteria but not outgrowing their disorder for the most partâ - Dr. Barkley

2. ADHD reWired podcast: The Fidgety Entrepreneur with Jason Burns from Fidgetland
Are you an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur in need of some motivation? If so, this podcast episode with Jason Burns might just be what you need.
Jason is the creator of many fidget toys, the most notable one being the âfidget ringâ. I first heard of Jason a couple of years ago when he appeared on an episode of Shark Tank. He received $50,000 funding from Barbara Corcoran, a âsharkâ on the show.
It was reported that Jason sold 50,000 units, bringing in over $500,000 in gross sales in the ten years he started his business (reported in 2018).
