Why Do I advocate "Don't ADHD Alone?"

This is my three word philosophy on how to manage and reimagine ADHD. Those with ADHD have tremendous talents, skills, capabilities, creativity, and humor. However, the challenges of ADHD, such as inconsistent attention or executive dysfunction hinder performance and achievements, which can have adverse personal, professional, and psychological costs. This approach is to help others critically examine how ADHD affects them, identify needed skills and tools, and, to the extent possible, externalize skills and functions to offset those struggles. ADHD can then be seen as skills to be managed and a wealth of strengths to be unlocked and realized. There doesn't need to be shame or guilt associated with seeking help, or externalizing some executive functions. This is just a recognition that one's neurodivergent brain operates in a unique way. Strategies for externalizing executive function can include coaching, coworking, online community groups including daily planning meetings, and use of tools and apps. In my speaking and blog, I explore some ways, with emphasis on cost-effective ways, to accomplish the objective of "Don't ADHD Alone."
