Why ADHD is a Difference, not a Disorder

The saddest thing about ADHD is the narrative that focuses more on the pain and struggles than the strengths and abilities. Of course, it's an undeniable fact that there is a long list of symptoms that create a heavy burden of challenges.

When everything that doesn't work gets all the attention, it's hard, if not impossible, to see what does.

As an ADHDer, you have the power to choose the lens through which you look at ADHD; the one that zooms in on everything you can't do or struggle with, or the one that zooms out and allows you to see what is actually going well.

Here’s a few highlights from this episode:

• Why what you pay attention to matters and how it affects the way you experience ADHD.
• How seeing ADHD as a difference came quite naturally to me and is at the heart of what I do.
• Why constant external validation of what isn't working can keep you in victim mode without you even knowing it, and how to break the cycle.
