NOTE

Positive Energy and Preaching the Good News of ADHD

The speaker's positive energy in talking about ADHD and the way he preaches about it was not a conscious decision, but something inherent in his nature. He attributes his positive take on ADHD to genuine curiosity and personal experiences. He shares insights about his parents, where his dad, a high-level ADHD teacher, and his mom, who developed systems to support him, influenced him significantly. He advises students with ADHD to know they are not alone, understand that there is nothing wrong with their brain, and recommends sitting in the front and center of the class for better focus. Additionally, he encourages students to explore activities that hold their interest and follow their curiosities for better success. The speaker also addresses concerns about toxic positivity and the book's title in relation to minimizing struggles, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging challenges while maintaining a positive outlook.
