The struggle with perfectionism and completion is real for people with ADHD. You see the WHOLE project when it is on your To-Do list, you ruminate about ALL of the steps involved in completing the tasks.

But you don't have to, this is a reminder that you can just do part of that report or task, it doesn't have to lock you in for the next several hours, just give it 15 minutes if you want to, if that!

For me, this has been a game changer in building routine, the dopamine hit isn't from completion, it's from ex*****on in any which way - give it a try and see how you go.

This is a classic.

"My parents said that I grew out of it" or other similar response.
"I can't have ADHD, isn't that just for boys/kids?"
"I was never naughty as a kid"

There are so many myths that were perpetuated in the early days of ADHD treatment and diagnosis and things that were misinterpreted by professionals and public alike. But we are in a new era now, where we can share more about the intricacies of our wellbeing and we have learnt more about the brain.

If you feel like you may have symptoms of ADHD, but don't meet the mythical criteria, please reach out to a professional to have a chat about what is actually going on, based on current research, practice and evidence.

In a recent piece in by Claire Burke, I reinforced the idea that ADHD needs more than just medication, skills building and therapy for underlying anxiety/depression is so important to give that medication the very best chance possible of working.

What is it for you that people just don't 'get' about ADHD?

Is it that they think that you have a 'superpower' to get things done? Or that they think you are distracted by every single bird that flies past? Or is it the emotional side of things that you wished people understood better - the rejection sensitivity or the ability to get overstimulated?

I'd love to know, what are the features that you would be looking for in an app for ADHD? What are the elements that are missing from previous apps that you feel like you need for productivity, focus or attention?

I am still building my app and would love some more feedback - sign up to wait list in on my bio.

Psychologists, Therapists and anyone who works in talk therapy - what are the books that you recommend to people new to the industry as good primers? Irvin Yalom has always been a big one for me, as well as Carl Rogers' On Becoming a Person.

How many books like this did you buy or read, trying to 'get your s**t together' before you realized that maybe you had ADHD? I always wondered why I couldn't get things to stick..

Went to the Bookfest this weekend at the Convention Centre, be sure to check it out, all of the proceeds go to their Su***de Helpline.

This is something that I see so often in clinical practice (and the literature) for people with late diagnosis of ADHD. So many people were able to 'make it through' earlier years of school (or even all the way through). But then when intensity kicks in, the executive dysfunction kicks off.

So now people are asking 'why' and what is different and because ADHD is a 'childhood thing' they miss the idea that maybe they are finally exhibiting something that has always been there, but masked by intelligence, coping skills or other supports as buffers.
