ADHD: Celebrating the Creative Spark and Navigating the Challenges
The intention is to illustrate how much the world benefits from the presence of ADHD in the human neurodiversity ecosystem
Imagine a world without the creative minds of artists, inventors, and explorers. That's what Dr. David Pomeroy and his guest, Kirsten Milliken PhD, dive into in this episode of ADHD Focus. They explore the idea that ADHD isn't just a disorder to be managed but a unique trait that has fueled some of humanity's greatest achievements. Kirsten, an ADHD coach and author of PlayDHD, shares her exciting project—a virtual exhibit showcasing the talents of individuals with ADHD.
This exhibit, tied to the International ADHD Conference, aims to highlight how much our world benefits from neurodiversity. But it's not all about celebrating; Dr. Pomeroy and Kirsten also tackle the practical side of living with ADHD. They discuss parenting tips, strategies for managing ADHD in the workplace, and ways to harness the creativity that often accompanies ADHD.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to understand and appreciate the unique contributions of those with ADHD while also gaining practical advice for everyday challenges.
