In this extract from the Hypnotic Horizon talk “Understanding the Real Issues in ADHD Beyond the Usual Assumptions“, I break down why the very name “ADHD” gets it wrong.
I discuss how ADHD is simply a different neurotype, and why the “disorder” label focuses on the wrong symptoms and ignores the reality of the condition.

Are we really dealing with an “attention deficit,” or is there more to the story? In this clip, I explore why people with ADHD don’t actually lack attention: they just regulate it differently. We also dive into the concept of “societal friction,” looking at what happens when you try to force a non-standard brain into a highly standardized, modern system. I also touch on the flip side of the condition: the cognitive advantages. It isn’t about having “superpowers,” but rather understanding how the right environment changes everything. Watch to find out why thriving with ADHD is a lot like learning the difference between caring for an orchid and a fern!
