Renaming ADHD
I really don’t like the label Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I look at is a unique brain wiring with a set of brain challenges that can manifest in different situations.
However with proper diagnosis, treatment, understanding through education, team support from an ADHD therapist, coach and knowledgeable friends & family, your ADHD can be manageable. You will hopefully identify and access many of your attributes and integrate them into your daily schedule. It takes work and discipline but it can be done. QUESTION: If you had the power to rename ADHD in a way that empowered those who have it, to take positive action, what name would you create? Please use your imaginations to encourage and inspire. This will truly give people with ADHD “Permission to Proceed” with beginning a process of creating more fulfillment and joy in their lives.
