CADDAC stands for the Centre for ADHD Awareness, Canada. It provides leadership and support in awareness, education and advocacy for ADHD and provides outstanding information to parents, adults and physicians. Here are a few of my favorites:

ADHDIreland is another great resource. I recently watched an excellent webinar they hosted, and then freely shared the webinar’s powerpoint: The Myths and Fact abouts ADHD.

I also like TotallyADHD. It is no longer maintained, but Rick Green’s writing about ADHD is very much on-target in addition to being upbeat and funny.

I assume everyone knows about the excellent information at ADDitude magazine’s website along with their frequent, free webinars, but if not, check them out, along with their free downloads. They also have two ebooks for sale about inattentive ADHD— in children and in adults.

ADHDEvidence.org is the best source for scientifically researched and evidence-based conclusions about ADHD for patients, families and clinicians.

The Inattentive ADHD Coalition has excellent information and is the only website solely about inattentive ADHD. Their questionnaires for recognizing possible in inattentive ADHD in adults and children are especially useful.

Cynthia Hammer, MSW, was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD in 1992 when she was 49 years old. The following year she created the non-profit organization, ADD Resources, with a mission to educate adults and helping professionals about ADHD in adults. She ran the organization for 15 years before retiring.

During the Covid isolation she wrote a book about her life with inattentive ADHD which should be published by the end of this year. In writing the book, she was dismayed to learn that children with inattentive ADHD continue to be under-diagnosed and adults with inattentive ADHD often are incorrectly diagnosed with depression or anxiety.

She created a new non-profit in 2021, the Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org), to create more awareness about inattentive ADHD and the need for early diagnosis and treatment.
