In this episode, I'm tackling some of the most common and frustrating misconceptions about ADHD. It's more than just being "easily distracted" or "hyperactive," and the stereotypes can be damaging and isolating for those who have it.Watch as I break down harmful phrases and ideas like:"Just try harder": We'll explain why it's not a matter of willpower, but rather a difference in brain function."You're so smart, why can't you focus?" Let's dive into how ADHD impacts executive functions and why intelligence isn't a shield against it."Your disorganization means you're irresponsible." Let's uncover the link between ADHD and organizational challenges, and why it's not a sign of laziness."Why don't you think before you speak?" I discuss the impulsivity that often comes with ADHD and how it affects communication."ADHD is only for kids." It's not. Let's talk about the reality of adult ADHD and why so many adults are only now receiving a diagnosis.This episode is for anyone who has ADHD, loves someone with ADHD, or just wants to understand the condition better. We hope to dispel myths, offer a new perspective, and foster a more compassionate conversation about neurodiversity.---LINKS---Hire me to be your body double today! https://www.fiverr.com/s/e650gykHire me for academic mentoring in higher education! https://www.fiverr.com/s/xX6GGNqAll my links! https://linktr.ee/PCH.edconsultant?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
