ADHD – What I have learnt? As we come to the end of ADHD awareness month, I thought it would be appropriate to share a little about my awareness of ADHD. Unless you have ADHD yourself or someone you are close to does, it can be hard to understand that it’s a mercurial condition which shows up differently for all. It ebbs and flows bringing wonderful highs and scary lows. Earlier this year, I qualified as an ADHD coach with the amazing Leanne Maskell at ADHD works. In my group of 16, I was one of only two ‘neurotypical’ delegates. As well as learning some fabulous tools to help ADHDers, I came away 1) knowing what it felt like to be the different one – I was conscious that my brain was working differently to most of the others in the room 2) filled with hope. The sessions were noisy, passionate, purposeful and quite brilliant. Spending time with a room full of ADHDers was quite something - our conversations we insightful, inspiring and different. The creativity was visceral. I am so lucky to have learnt about ADHD and now know so much more about how to help ADHDers navigate the ebbs and flows. I hope that understanding more about ADHD will help me to help others. What are you doing to learn about others this year?

Adult ADHD so often goes unspoken and unmanaged. Which results in people quietly masking as best they can, while the stigma surrounding their true lived experience becomes an ever more conspicuous elephant in the room. The thing about elephants, though, is that they offer a choice. Sure, they can be viewed as great lumbering lumps of awkwardness: difficult to approach, hard to get rid of and almost impossible to ignore. Or they can be embraced for being the unstoppable powerhouses they really are. When you work on your ADHD, your perspective changes hugely. If you’re not doing that already, give me a shout and let's talk about giving it a go. --------------------------- 💥 I'm Kev Exley – an ADHD expert & ICF-certified executive coach at UNHERDED 🧠 I work 1-2-1 with people to help them improve their life experience 🎙 And I provide talks & training on ADHD and neurodiversity 🖋 I write about ADHD and related topics quite a bit too If you're interested in reading some of that... 🔔 Ring the bell in my profile 👊🏻 Follow me 📩 Subscribe to The NeurodiverGENT – my Substack newsletter #adhd #adhdcoach #adhdexecutivecoach #adhdspeaking #neurodiversity #mentalhealth #wellbeing

🔎 Debunking 3 Myths About ADHD 🔍 Let's clear up some common misconceptions about ADHD: 1. Myth: People with ADHD lack intelligence. Fact: People with ADHD can be highly intelligent! The challenge often lies in not having the right environments and support growing up. With the proper guidance, their potential can truly shine. 2. Myth: People with ADHD are extroverted. Fact: While some individuals with ADHD are extroverted, others may be introverted due to sensory sensitivities. ADHD affects everyone differently, and social tendencies can vary widely. 3. Myth: People with ADHD lack care and empathy for others. Fact: On the contrary, people with ADHD are often highly receptive to their environments and the emotions of those around them. They can be incredibly empathetic and caring. Understanding ADHD is key to breaking down these myths and fostering a more supportive environment for everyone. #ADHDAwareness #MythsAboutADHD #ADHDFacts #ADHDCoaching #Neurodiversity #ADHDSupport #MentalHealthAwareness #ADHDCommunity #EmpathyMatters #IntelligenceIsVaried #IntrovertAndExtrovert #SensorySensitivities #BreakTheStigma #ADHDEducation #SupportAndUnderstanding

🌟 Understanding ADHD: More Than Just Hyperactivity 🌟 ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a complex condition that affects people in various ways. While it's often associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, there's much more to ADHD than meets the eye. Some common symptoms include: Restlessness and Impulsivity: Constantly moving, fidgeting, or having difficulty staying seated. Inattention: Struggling to focus on tasks, getting easily distracted, or forgetting daily routines. Difficulty Organising: Finding it hard to keep track of time, prioritise tasks, or manage schedules. Emotional Sensitivity: Experiencing intense emotions, which can change rapidly, sometimes leading to frustration or overwhelm. Hyperfocus: Becoming so engrossed in a task that everything else fades into the background, often at the expense of other responsibilities. ADHD is more than just being energetic or having trouble sitting still. It involves a range of behaviours and challenges that can vary greatly from person to person. Understanding these symptoms helps create a more supportive and empathetic environment for those living with ADHD.

In this clip from one of my interviews with ADHD expert Dr. William Dodson, he shared an eye-opening perspective on ADHD, saying that ADHD experts say that ADHD is limited down to just two things: distractibility and emotional dyscontrol. 💡 Dr. Dodson explains that distractibility and emotional dysregulation are where the true challenges of ADHD lie. These two factors lead to significant impairments in daily life, often impacting self-esteem and self-image. 🔑 Whether you're managing ADHD yourself or helping a loved one, understanding these core issues can be the key to making real progress. 🎥 Want to hear more from my interviews with Dr. Dodson?
