Can you believe there is virtually no research on ADHD and the elderly? Surely they must be impacted. We speculate that this population not only experiences the same issues as other ADHD adults, but possibly their challenges are worse. Join Jeff Copper and Gina Pera (http://www.adhdrollercoaster.com) in a conversation on the topic, speculating on the unique challenges this group faces and calling for more research and data.

Attention and perception define our experience in life.  They also define what we are and are not aware of. Question is… how aware are you of being unaware?  Many researchers and professionals believe awareness or self-awareness is the key for those with ADHD to manage it.  ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper believes the first step to managing awareness is to understand how unaware we really are because of “inattentional” blindness.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Daniel Simons (www.dansimons.com), psychologist and co-author of The Invisible Gorilla, a book that will open your mind to visual awareness.  Dan is an expert in visual perception and attention and has mastered the art of putting people in an experience for them to witness how blind they are to the blinding flash of the obvious.  If you have ADHD and want to more effectively manage your awareness, join us and learn just how unaware most of us really are.

Is gender variance consistent between the population and the ADHD community, or is the frequency higher in one group over the other. Is there any difference in coming out or inviting in?

Those with ADHD are not stupid. Their issue isn’t knowing what to do; it’s using the executive functioning brain to execute what they already know. If this is the case, why do so many people focus on goals and outcomes to help those with ADHD? Wouldn’t it be better to help those with ADHD understand their own process that leads to outcome? In this interview we discuss the topic with Dr. Ari Tuckman (http://www.adultadhdbook.com) and illustrate how a focus on process can lead to outcomes.

Get this!  For students with disabilities, including those with ADHD, who asked for accommodations when taking the LSAT to get into law school, scores were flagged as such, opening the door to discrimination by a law school to choose which students were and were not accepted.

Most importantly, the practice of flagging accommodated test scores has been discontinued.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview attorney Rob Tudisco (http://www.roberttudisco.com) on his advocacy around this issue, the victory, and what it means for the ADHD community.  If you have ADHD or are impacted by it, you need to listen to this show and celebrate for the community.

The attention deficit disorder label would imply that those with ADD can’t pay attention.  What we’ve learned in interviewing ADHD experts is that ADD is more of a self-regulation issue, which explains why many with ADD have trouble pulling away from things that have engaged their attention.
