Talk It Out: How ADHD Brains Solve Problems

Do you (if you have ADHD) find it is easier to “think out loud”, to process your thoughts by talking them over with someone? Or even just a rubber duck perhaps? If you know someone with ADHD, have you noticed that they tend to talk through their thoughts? There is good neuroscience and “ADHD science” to explain why it works so well, much of it rooted in Dr. Russell Barkley’s model of Executive Functions. Some of the toughest challenges for people with ADHD are solving problems which have many parts and are ambiguous. The goal of accommodations at work or school, to make it easier to try harder to think like a neurotypical person, are not ideal. What if that were turned upside down, and the accommodations enabled people with ADHD to use their brains in the way they function best?

My guest today is Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach Extraordinaire, known for his ability to dig deeper and find root causes of impairments so they can be resolved. He is a Professional ADHD Coach, certified by two ADHD Coaching organizations, consultant, speaker, and enthusiastically committed to being a valuable resource for persons with or affected by ADHD. Jeff has developed a model of how to accommodate the ADHD-thinking brain which respects and preserves its amazing quality of associative thinking: Cognitive Ergonomics.

This is cutting edge info, a new way of helping those of us with ADHD brains problem-solve in the ways our brains work best! Listen and Learn!
