Sometimes my 3 year-old daughter strikes me as "not all there." I've been so careful to not be a paranoid helicopter mom that I now wonder if I've missed something. What signs should I look out for when considering ADHD and/or learning disabilities and delays?

After growing up in a VERY authoritarian family environment, I lack a sense of proportion when it comes to when I've
really screwed up bad. I'm in therapy but would like some further advice.

How can I, knowing absolutely nothing about real estate or managing my own personal finances, learn enough to get an okay deal on buying a house or apartment in a couple of years' time? Later in the year, I'll finish grad school and start a job paying around AUD $70,000 a year. I have about $50,000 in savings. I'm looking to buy something in Brisbane, Australia.

I'm over 30 and probably know as much or less about history, politics/ gov, and current events as my 7 year old niece. Now, I want to be aware and don't know where to begin. I've tried just "merging in" but the references, terms, and names are lost on me. I need a starting point that will give me a framework or bird's eye view to start from and build on.
