Anytime someone pushes back against adhd as a diagnosis, I hear one of two things.

1. It doesn't really exist. Just a few days ago, in a personal interaction, I was told something to the effect of, 'adhd and q***r are just made-up labels that no one had when I was a kid.' I'm still shaking my head at that one.

2. The other thing I hear is, 'maybe it's real, but so many people are diagnosed now. Not all those people could possibly have it.' It's a modified version of #1 - sometimes it's real, but sometimes it's not.

There are explanations for increased adhd diagnosis. I'm happy to see this article mentions that girls and women are finally getting diagnosed, a big reason diagnosis is up.

Rates of ADHD diagnosis are rocketing in developed countries. A professor of child and adult psychiatry explains why.

Even though one of my college majors was ceramics, I've primarily been doing mixed media collage for years and almost never work with clay, so this was a fun trip in the way-back machine.

It still needs to be bisque fired, glazed & fired again so it will be shineeey!

When a client's session is over, if there's leftover paint or other art materials that can't be easily saved for another day, I'll try to repurpose it. This is one I've added to a few times over the last few months.

Took a minute to finally set up a FB page. Thankfully, there wasn't a rush to transition from Art Therapy with Lee Ann Thill to Prism AT, but in true adhd style, without a deadline, I dilly-dallied a bit. Getting it going now!
