Attention Talk Radio

ADHD is considered a focus problem. When you dig into it, it's really an executive functioning impairment. Executive functions are a collection of mind tools that you use to solve problems. For those with ADHD, these mind tools are less efficient. Thus, it would seem to be harder for those with ADHD to solve problems like neurotypicals. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach, Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com/), interviews ADHD thought leader, Dr. David Pomeroy. The two discuss Dr. Pomeroy’s lived experience as a physician and a student of Cognitive Ergonomics From the Inside Out—specifically how this new paradigm compares and contrasts to Dr. Pomeroy's prior beliefs. If you recognize current interventions fall short, this is a show you won't want to miss.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.

ADHD often comes with inconsistency—moments of strong performance followed by periods of underperformance. Over time, this unpredictability can lead individuals to question their abilities and hide their struggles behind carefully constructed defenses.
