Today, it's just me. I haven't yet addressed the puzzle of the upcoming school year, and I feel like I should. So that's what we're doing, even though I don't have a guest to do it with. It's not my place to tell you what to do here, but I can give you a tool for how to address the decision.
In this episode, I walk you through a decision-making approach I use that involves looking at the values which undergird an issue in order to figure out how best to address it. In this case, the issue is how to approach the 2020-2021 school year for our children, but this approach can be used in lots of areas.

Today, we’re talking to Eddie Martucci. Eddie is the Co-Founder & CEO of Akili Interactive, a digital medicine company. That prescription video game for treating ADHD that you’ve been hearing about? That’s the work of Eddie and Akili.
In Today’s Episode, we talk about Endeavor RX, the aforementioned prescription video game. We discuss how it came about, the thinking that went into it, how it’s different from other video games, what it does, and doesn’t do, whether it works for adults, and whether or not it can be used by kids with video game addiction.

Today, it's just me. We're revisiting perfectionism, because the last episode clearly resonated with a lot of you, and I got a good amount of feedback and questions about it.
We're talking about the roles that inconsistency, judging ourselves based on our best performance, and asynchronous development play in the perfectionism of folks with ADHD, as well as ways to address it!

Today, we’re talking to Sarah Chayette. Sarah is a pediatric neurologist, and an expert in both ADHD and Autism. She is the co-author of two books on ADHD, and her blog 1-2-3 ADHD is featured in Psychology Today.
In Today’s Episode, Sarah and I discuss ADHD and the nervous system. And then shift into the intersection of ADHD and Autism. We talk about their similarities and differences, the challenges with diagnosis, why kids with ADHD and autism might both miss social cues, but miss them for different reasons, the roles anxiety and sensory challenges play in both disorders, and why symptoms matter more than diagnosis.
