Rebranding ADHD and Shifting Perspectives

The speaker suggests that ADHD needs a rebranding to shift away from the perception of it as a disorder. The term 'disorder' implies something negative, while ADHD could be seen as a difference in personality traits and variable stimulation. By removing the word 'disorder' and reframing it as a personality trait, it can help destigmatize ADHD. Additionally, the speaker highlights that their attention is not deficient but rather overwhelmed or lacking control over where their attention goes. Rather than focusing on attention deficits, it may be more accurate to consider issues related to executive functions and control. Developing self-awareness through practices like meditation and being mindful of decision-making can help individuals with ADHD navigate challenges and live authentically.
