Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is challenging for many. There are times these individuals perform and times they under perform. The inconsistency leads many to doubt their abilities. They build barriers to hide, to protect themselves, and in some cases use different personas to hide in plain sight. In this episode, we talk to ADDiva Linda Roggli (http://www.addiva.net). Linda shares her combined experience as an individual and a coach and illuminates how many use personas like the “perfectionist,” the “ditz,” the “super hero,” and others to deflect and protect. More importantly, she talks about the long-term effect of using such personas, how exhausting it is, and its impact on your inner self. If you identify with this or feel you masquerade in different ways so you won’t be found out, then you can’t miss this show!

Believe it or not, some with ADHD get the opportunity to retire midlife; others get to retire even earlier; and then there is also regular retirement. While the word “retirement” conjures up thoughts of bliss and relaxation, but for many with ADHD it can be anything but!

Got ADHD? What is task automation and task management? Are they different or the same? What role do they play in building systems that work? How can a person with ADHD use this technology to their advantage?

Marriage and relationships are difficult to begin with. Adding kids doesn’t make it any easier!  But add ADHD to the relationship and… UGH! Often, romance and intimacy take a back seat when the business of the family becomes front and center, and the challenges of ADHD are magnified so that the relationship is stressed. In this episode, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper talks to Dr. Sarah Ferman and Dr. Robert Wilford (www.adhdcouplessuccess.com) about the counterintuitive nature of getting relationships back on the right track, the importance of awareness and empathy, and their model for rebuilding and strengthening closeness, romance, and intimacy.

Parents want to help those with ADHD succeed in college.

This is a shock to Jeff Copper, host of Attention Talk Radio. In this episode, he interviews Dr. Theresa Maitland around the startling research around this phenomenon and shares the thoughts and views of many other experts in the area as to why this is and what could be done about it.

In general, how much education does a physician or psychiatrist get in med school around ADHD? Is there an impact on ADHD by such levels of education? ADHD stimulant medications are Schedule II drugs. How does that affect those who prescribe ADHD stimulant medications? Why is education and being in touch with your expectations important when seeking a professional who will be prescribing stimulants?

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Russell Barkley (http://russellbarkley.org) around the research suggesting there is a new attentional disorder called sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), also known as concentration deficit disorder (CDD). Dr. Barkley enlightens us on the disorder, how it differs from ADD, and how that many diagnosed with what DSM used to define as inattentive ADD might actually be SCT/CDD. This is important, as differences in diagnosis respond to very different treatments. If you have been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD or know somebody who is, this is interview could impact the treatment and support of the condition.

Even though emotions are not a part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in the DSM-5, researchers agree that emotions are as much a part of ADHD as attention. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we are interviewing clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas E. Brown (www.DrThomasEBrown.com) around why those with ADHD struggle so much with emotions, the role emotions play in executive functioning, the impact of emotions on working memory, and how emotions impact the “Google” search function in our brain. We also ask him to specifically use the concept of erectile dysfunction as a metaphor to help understand the chemical dynamics of the brain. Dr. Brown is an ADHD thought leader. He is articulate and on point. The only reason to miss this show is if you are in crisis or someone in your family is giving birth! That’s right. The content is that good!
