I decided to not limit the list to scientific facts and proven hypotheses but to also include common sense and experiential things I have learned along my professional journey. I apply these daily. They are important to me. I hope they are helpful to you. Common sense rules.
Common sense is a great ally.
Although some phenomenon of science may not initially make sense, I have learned to start with common sense. It is a quality and a way of thinking that we share with the families with whom we work. When all else fails, I urge parents and teachers to think about a problem in a common sense way and not be burdened by what others think or what may be right or wrong. In my diagnosis and treatment protocols, in my work with residents and interns, I too attempt to apply this rule as my initial means of evaluation. ADHD as a set of human qualities exists.
