The Bright Side

At this point, we're pretty familiar with how ADHD negatively affects us. But what about the aspects of it that maybe aren't so bad? This episode covers the bright side of having ADHD with Karen Sunderhaft, an Ohio special education teacher that specializes in working with ADHD students. Hopefully, you can walk away from this episode with a newfound perspective on how the ADHD brain works, and maybe appreciate some of its differences in a new way! And of course, as always, Stay Messy.
