    Loved the book Driven To Distraction, was one of the first things I read after my diagnosis. I hope Dr. Hallowell’s positivity catches on, a lot of the chatter I hear is about how to ‘deal’ with this in children, rather than how to build on those gifts. My son has ADHD as well, but we put him in positions to succeed and he’s incredibly happy, loving and creative. I don’t even talk to other parents or teachers about it because I don’t want it to be an excuse. Just watch out when he’s in rapid-fire-question mode 🙂

    Just found your site through your article posted at foxnews health. I listened to your first podcast immediately, I’m at work on a Sunday, probably because I can’t manage my ADHD very well. I’m feeling hopeful, fingers crossed, and back to work!

    Praise God for this. My whole life, “You’re just not trying hard enough.” The first time I was told I had a superpower was during my freshman year in college. That was the first time I thought there wasn’t something wrong with me. Every day I fight to remember this. I now run my own business, have 2 jobs, am in peak physical condition, consistently have to be creating, and I know I have a superpower, and I’m still on my way to understanding how to utilize it. Please. Please, listen to this. Understand it. And NEVER tell someone they just need to try harder. You have NO IDEA the fight we go through EVERY SINGLE DAY. You are not alone, there is nothing wrong with you, you are not broken, you do not need to be tamed, fixed, or changed. You can do destroy the box you have been put in. Do. Not. Give. Up.

    Wonderful podcast. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Hallowell when ADHD/ADD coaching was introduced. Together, Faster than Normal and ADHD experts like Dr Hallowell will open up very useful information and resources for so many.

    ADD is a different experience, often not Faster Than Normal….may we address that distraction and lack of attentiveness that are not as appreciated in a podcast?
