In my job as the director of the National Resource Center on ADHD (NRC) at CHADD, I’m usually a behind-the-scenes kinda guy. Last week (Oct. 16-22) was ADHD Awareness Week and the sponsoring organizations — including both CHADD and the NRC — were called upon by various media to do interviews, including ones that answer questions about recently updated guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics on the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD for kids age 4-18. My boss, Ruth Hughes, would normally have done this interview with DC’s local Fox affiliate, but a scheduling conflict made that impossible. So, here’s my 5 minutes of on-air fame, captured for perpetuity!

Well done!
