Dr Hallowell as been a staple in my research against my ADHD and its a breath of fresh air every time hear him.
What I see today in ADHDers and myself and society doesn't is this; an ADHDer that doesn't find its way, is wasted potential. An ADHDer masking or in denial of its condition, is sleeping on a gold mine.
So many people incarcerated, that don't feel like they belong somewhere in life or stuck homeless, is a terrible thing, not when they have so much to offer.
Thank you Doc.

His book ADHD 2.0 is a godsend. Ned is a godsend. Compassionate, passionate, down-to-earth and much more.

Woah. 🎉 Mind officially blown. The doctor described what I believed to be a personality "perks". I'm still working on getting a diagnosis as my doctor sees my depression as the cause. I believe it to be the other way around.

EXCELLENT INFORMATION AND VERY CREATIVE, IMPACTFUL PRESENTATION. THANK YOU!!!

Just thought I'd share my hack for anyone listening who struggles with holding attention while something is being delivered too slowly. the beauty for me of these recorded podcast is that I can speed up the playback and it doesn't give my mind so much time to get bored and Wander away during the natural pauses in speech

[rose-xklf]

Exactly! Diagnosis in the first minute! In order for me to stay on task it can't be to easy or boring. I have never in my life felt motivated by money. But when I feel that I'm learning something, those are the rare moments that I feel that life is worth living.

[paulmc]

Very useful. Keep in mind that it is a spectrum and not all of us expereince EXACTLY what he describes.

[sharoneast]

I heard someone call it an ""intention [fulfillment] deficit disorder" on a podcast.
This is certainly appropriate description of my affliction.

[Mlletd]

Wow if I only knew this 54 years ago how my live would have been? But I am grateful to nonetheless find out now. Thanks

[JoeBoomerMusic]

Anyone else skip through the beginning or play it at 2x speed? Maybe I need this more than I know.

[iiNeedSkins]

Recently diagnosed and its insane how many of his points are spot on.

[laorientalm]

Love this! So validating. I, personally can be very detail oriented, though.

[bpolonifis]

Very important advice. Don't Fight the Demon.

[AnnaLorrainex]

I've learned so much from this man and why I've been one of those seven thrown under the bus diagnosed in the 70s with severe dyslexia family tragedy in 81 and I was forgotten defend for myself and I'm severely ADHD also but nobody cares

[kevinchallinor]

I spent all weekend unable to do anything useful because i had thought of new way to dry clothes, a new idea for an app, then partially followed up on these ideas before realising i needed to do things and left these ideas behind.

[yellowlab]

I've found that talking (really) to the brain/mind works. Outloud or an audible whisper. Like hey, no no no. We are NOT going there!. I use humor. And another example, we are not going down that negative rabbit hole, so quit!!. Kinda works like cognitive behavioral therapy😁

[DylanWilliams-gr]

Re creativity, I think it's hard being a logical person + having ADHD and wanting to do something new, it results in a constant inner conflict and a kind of perfectionism. I want to do what has been tried and tested while also putting my own spin on it. The balance between these two opposing forces needs to be exact.

[laorientalm]

37:37. That mother that wants to shield her son from the stigma of ADHD seems to be more concerned with her own feelings than her child. OMG...

[AnnaLorrainex]

I like to know how to follow through and finish stuff it'll be the end of me if I don't

" 40% of adopted children have adhd"

So who's right? Gabor Mate who suggest that environment and trauma( which being in foster home and abandonned is) VS Prof R. Barkley who says that adhd isnt't a trauma response but rather a genetic condition. So who's right? In other words why would 40% of adopted kids be adhd if not for environement; these numbers are striking... and pose a lot of questions!
