Got ADHD? Are you struggling to get things done? Do you experience challenges to your productivity? Do you need a plan? Structure? In this episode, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) illuminates one of the challenges of ADHD—that is, thinking more specifically about pronouns. Pronouns are often thinking shortcuts. "I need to do this, or I need to do that." Articulating exactly what it or that is can be effortful, which is why pronouns are a thinking shortcut. Often, when people want to make a plan or say they need structure, they can’t articulate, with specificity, exactly what that looks like.

ADHD and Schools: The Executive Functioning Conundrum
Got ADHD? How did you enjoy your school experience? Odds are, you experienced feelings of frustration, disappointment, overwhelm, and shame. There are many well-intentioned people and expensive structures designed to help those with neurodiversity to move through the school system. The challenge is that teachers’ and students’ needs sometimes compete, and students with ADHD are often misunderstood and underserved in the mainstream. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews Dr. Laurie Faith (https://activatedlearning.org) of the University of Toronto in a conversation about the way that executive function deficits are handled at school. They talk about challenges that are unique to the classroom, but also the huge opportunities that are available in a classroom setting. By facilitating a “socially shared” approach, teachers can unlock student motivation, build student self-awareness and self-compassion, make a strategic mindset an integral part of every lesson, and engage in essential on-the-job learning about student needs.

ADHD: Health Outcomes, Life Expectancy, and Self-Regulation
Research has well established that childhood ADHD predisposes to increased risks for impairment in educational, family, peer, and eventual occupational functioning by young adulthood, among many other major domains of life activities. Less appreciated is that ADHD also predisposes to increased health, medical, and dental risks, such as an increased risk for accidental injuries as well as suicide across the lifespan. But ADHD also predisposes to certain personality traits and lifestyle choices that have a significant impact on these health-related factors. Such risks and impairments are known to influence estimated life expectancy. Dr. Russell Barkley (www.russellbarkley.org) describes the various health and lifestyle domains of major life activities that have been found to be significantly impaired in children growing up with ADHD by their young adult years, how ADHD adversely affects health outcomes and how such outcomes may have a substantial detriment on estimated life expectancy by young adulthood, and implications of these findings for alterations in ADHD management.

ADHD and Habits: A Love/Hate Relationship
What is a habit? Are habits good for those with ADHD? Why are habits so hard to build if you have ADHD? Dr. Russell Barkley talks about the ADHD brain as being a two-level system – the automatic brain and the executive functioning brain. He articulates how the executive functioning brain must effortfully override the automatic brain. In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks about Dr. Barkley's concept and uses it as a context to help those with ADHD understand why habits are very helpful for those with ADHD but also why it is so hard to develop habits if you have ADHD.

ADHD Parenting: Collaborative Conversations with ADHD Kids
If you read most of the theories on parenting kids with ADHD, many of them come down to the collaborative conversation. It's easy to define, easy to discuss, but very difficult to execute. In this episode, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent advisor and coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) around the challenges of executing collaborative conversations with complex kids. Most theorists explain it and assume that parents will execute it on their own. Jeff and Elaine talk about the value of getting some help with it. After all, complex kids are outliers; they're not mainstream. How to have that conversation is as unique as the individual in the family. If you're an ADHD parent and are frustrated, this is a show you won't want to miss.

ADHD Parenting: The Mindset You Need
Parenting of ADHD and complex kids is difficult. Why? Because, they're complicated. Really complicated. Tips, tricks, strategies, and systems often work for neurotypicals, but do they work for complex kids? As much as we want them to, they don't. So what is a parent to do? It comes down to problem-solving. In this episode ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews parent coach and advisor Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com). Elaine shares what she knows that most ADHD parents don't… that it’s all about the problem-solving process and the mindset for solving problems as a process.

ADHD: Attending to the Who, Not the What
Society and those with ADHD have been brainwashed to focus on the "what,” as in: What do you want to major in? What do you want to be when you grow up? Often, the "what" becomes the measuring stick to judge "who" you are. Many become condescending and self-critical when “who” they are is not aligned with “what” they think they're supposed to be. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper interviews MCC coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com) as they deconstruct things to attend to understanding "who" you are so that you can reveal “what” you were born to be. If you are unhappy or self-critical, this is a show you shouldn't miss.

The Value of Dating Yourself
Many with ADHD can benefit and learn to manage themselves by paying attention to what they pay attention to. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Anna Dutko (http://round2.fit), who did just that. After a breakup, Anna found herself bored on the dating scene. After some self-reflection when asked what she wanted to do, she realized she was the boring part when her response was, “I don't know.” This inspired her to go on 30 dates with herself to find out what she liked to do when the only person involved was her. Listen to our interview with Anna and gain insight on the value of the experience and ponder what the same might do for you. It was very transformational for her and helped her find her way to learn more about herself and what she wants in life.

The ADHD Lizard Brain: Preyed Upon by All
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn’t a deficit of attention but rather a self-regulation issue. It challenges those with ADHD because they must effortfully engage the executive functioning brain to override the automatic brain, the primitive brain, the “lizard brain” as marketers call it. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Alan Brown, advertising executive with ADHD and the founder of ADD Crusher (http://addcrusher.com) and CrusherTV (http://crushertv.com). They discuss ADHD and how your lizard brain falls prey, hunted by politicians, the media, and corporate America and how each exploits your self-regulation challenges for their own self-interests, including how they hijack your amygdala and control your decisions in a programmed way, selling you what doesn’t work and then selling it to you again and again and again. Most importantly, they share brain hacks and attention exercises to reclaim control and tame your lizard brain. If you often get buyer’s remorse, make decisions impulsively, or wonder how you get into such messes, this is the show that could change your future.

ADHD: Character Strengths and Who You Are
What should you do if you have ADHD? The answer is often revealed by understanding who you are. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews master certified coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com). Jeff identifies what he attends to when he's coaching people to help them understand who they are and what they are all about.

ADHD and Mindsets: Most Don't Get It
Shifting your mindset is a common denominator of those who have successfully managed their ADHD or others who have successfully supported them. If that is true, then why do so many people say they get it, but yet, no progress is made. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) and ADHD parent coach Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) discuss and deconstruct mindsets, mind shifts, and share examples of how people think they get it when they don’t. In their conversation they illuminate that the mind shift is not a one-time deal. It happens over time as one has to disprove the old way of thinking and find evidence to prove the new mindset in order for them to adopt it. If you are struggling with ADHD and have not found what works, this is a show that might help you shift the way you pay attention to things.

ADHD: Characteristics of a Strength
Identifying what those with ADHD are good at can be challenging; why?

Coaching Those Desperate for ADHD Solutions
Coaching can be difficult to understand. Often those with ADHD are desperate for answers. They're looking to be pointed in the direction of solutions in a simple fashion.

Magnets, Self-Regulation, and ADHD: What a Metaphor
ADHD can easily be thought of as a magnet. It's either attracted to something or repels something. In this context, we begin to understand the challenges of self-regulation. The magnet is a magnet; you can't change its forces. How do you work with it? ADHD is ADHD; you can’t change the biology. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) and Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) discuss using magnets as a metaphor to observe ADHD behavior and transition to just how one can use the concept of a magnet to work with it and not against it.

Communicating with ADHD Teens and Adolescents
Is it that ADHD teens shut down and won’t communicate — or that they can’t communicate? Experts often share strategies for teens that shut down, but what do you do about those who just can’t communicate? Those who can’t organize their thoughts to articulate their message or their intent? Communication requires executive functioning, which is impaired by ADHD.

ADHD and Minding Your Manners
Research is revealing how ADHD is more of a self-regulation issue and not so much a deficit of attention. If that is true, is the process of learning to mind your manners actually a form of attention exercises designed to help kids develop self-regulation skills? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Ari Tuckman (http://adultADHDbook.com) about the byproduct of holding a chair for a woman to sit, minding your elders, waiting to eat until everyone at the table is seated, and waiting your turn, all as behavioral and attention exercises that help those with ADHD build self-regulation skills.

The Trick of Going to Sleep for Those with ADHD
When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, going to sleep is a challenge for many, and the theories in books focus on sleep hygiene.

ADHD Kids: Using Art to Manage Emotional Self-Regulation
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is more about self-regulation than it is about a deficit of attention. Attention and emotion both are things that need to be regulated. For many kids with ADHD, emotional self-regulation is more challenging. They seem to be unable to cope or ready to explode on a daily basis. Parents want to help their child with ADHD learn to control emotions and boost self-esteem, but they often wonder how to help their child. What if art could help the child learn to manage his emotions when he is a firecracker about to explode? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, guest host Caroline Maguire (http://www.necoaching.com) interviews Holly Oberacker and Tracey Bromley Goodwin, partners in Navigating ADHD (http://www.navigatingadhd.com), about using art as a means to help kids down-regulate their emotions and channel their frustrations.

Launching ADHD College Kids Completely Differently
A lot is written on launching kids with ADHD into college successfully. Much of it centers around the need for organization, time management, and executive functioning.

ADHD, Masturbation, Its Value, and the Research
At Attention Talk Radio, we like to help people with ADHD pay attention to what they are paying attention to, and our favorite guest on today’s topic is Dr. Ari Tuckman (www.adultADHDbook.com). In this episode we focus on sex, intimacy, and masturbation in the context of attention. As we’ve learned from Dr. Tuckman, some of the treatment for folks with low libido involves mindfulness, or attention training, to notice those passing sexual thoughts, feelings, desires, or fantasies and then amplify them. This obviously ties in to masturbation. Sex involves shifting attention as well, because we shift from attending to our partner's pleasure to shifting back to our own physical sensations and mental fantasies. In the context of attention, masturbation is simpler because you don't need to attend to another person and can focus on your own physical and fantasy experience. If this is true and done with intention, can sex and masturbation be used as a mindfulness exercise to help those with ADHD regulate attention? Join us and learn more.

Could SMART Goals Obstruct Those with ADHD?
Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely make up SMART goals. Countless motivational speakers preach them. Question is, are they the very things that inhibit those with ADHD from moving forward? Does focus on outcome blind you to the process to achieve goals? Should those with ADHD focus on outcome and figure out the process to get there, or focus on the process and use it as a compass to get to the outcome? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper banters with ADHD parenting coach Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) on this fascinating topic. If you have read the books, gone to the webinars, gotten all jacked up, gone home, and failed to execute, this is the show that will be at the top of your list.

You Know You Have ADHD When...
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy has popularized the phrase, “You may be a redneck if….” He then adds a peculiar behavior or trait poking fun at what it means to be a redneck.

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactadhd.com) and have fun with our own angle, “You know you have ADHD when….” If you have ADHD and want to have a laugh, this is a show you don't want to miss.

ADHD Medication: Straight Answers to Big Questions
Rick Green and Jeff Copper, an ADHD and attention coach, agree. They don’t want you to have to take ADHD medications. But if you are like most other adults with ADHD, not taking meds and or doing the research on the pros and cons, there is a good chance you’re suffering needlessly from ignorance. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Rick Green of Totally ADD (www.totallyadd.com) around the making of his biggest project to date – a five-video series covering every aspect of ADHD medication.

He now has a very different view of the potential and the limits of medication and a clear sense of the role of medication in a holistic treatment plan.

How a Stroke Taught Me to Pause, Helping My ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be thought of as brain wiring with a two-level system. One is the automatic brain, which is automatic behavior, and the other is the executive functioning brain that is very effortful and is needed to engage itself to override the automatic brain. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Wes Gray (www.areyouadd.com), diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, after which he had a stroke. His experience of coming back from the stroke and his need to be more self-aware and to pause to engage his executive functioning actually helped him begin to manage his ADHD like never before.

ADHD: Turning the Tide on Relationships and Intimacy
Marriage and relationships are difficult to begin with. Adding kids doesn’t make it any easier! But add ADHD to the relationship and… UGH!

In this episode, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper talks to Dr. Sarah Ferman and Dr. Robert Wilford (www.adhdcouplessuccess.com) about the counterintuitive nature of getting relationships back on the right track, the importance of awareness and empathy, and their model for rebuilding and strengthening closeness, romance, and intimacy.

ADHD College Students Don't Want Help
Parents want to help those with ADHD succeed in college. Colleges and universities want to help them succeed and provide services and accommodations, yet only about 20% of those with such disability actually participate in services. This is a shock to Jeff Copper, host of Attention Talk Radio. In this episode, he interviews Dr. Theresa Maitland around the startling research around this phenomenon and shares the thoughts and views of many other experts in the area as to why this is and what could be done about it.

ADHD: What You Need to Know As You Collaborate with Your Prescriber
In general, how much education does a physician or psychiatrist get in med school around ADHD? Is there an impact on ADHD by such levels of education? ADHD stimulant medications are Schedule II drugs. How does that affect those who prescribe ADHD stimulant medications? Why is education and being in touch with your expectations important when seeking a professional who will be prescribing stimulants? Answers to these questions and more when we interview clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas E. Brown (www.DrThomasEBrown.com). If you are seeking a prescriber or have not found the right prescriber for you, this show is a must for you.

Inattentive ADHD, or Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, Clarified
In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Russell Barkley (http://russellbarkley.org) around the research suggesting there is a new attentional disorder called sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), also known as concentration deficit disorder (CDD). Dr. Barkley enlightens us on the disorder, how it differs from ADD, and how that many diagnosed with what DSM used to define as inattentive ADD might actually be SCT/CDD. This is important, as differences in diagnosis respond to very different treatments. If you have been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD or know somebody who is, this is interview could impact the treatment and support of the condition.

ADHD: Coping with Emotion Too Little or Too Much
Even though emotions are not a part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in the DSM-5, researchers agree that emotions are as much a part of ADHD as attention. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we are interviewing clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas E. Brown (www.DrThomasEBrown.com) around why those with ADHD struggle so much with emotions, the role emotions play in executive functioning, the impact of emotions on working memory, and how emotions impact the “Google” search function in our brain. We also ask him to specifically use the concept of erectile dysfunction as a metaphor to help understand the chemical dynamics of the brain. Dr. Brown is an ADHD thought leader. He is articulate and on point. The only reason to miss this show is if you are in crisis or someone in your family is giving birth! That’s right. The content is that good!

ADHD, Awareness, and Inattentional Blindness
Attention and perception define our experience in life. They also define what we are and are not aware of. Question is… how aware are you of being unaware? Many researchers and professionals believe awareness or self-awareness is the key for those with ADHD to manage it. ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper believes the first step to managing awareness is to understand how unaware we really are because of “inattentional” blindness. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Daniel Simons (www.dansimons.com), psychologist and co-author of The Invisible Gorilla, a book that will open your mind to visual awareness. Dan is an expert in visual perception and attention and has mastered the art of putting people in an experience for them to witness how blind they are to the blinding flash of the obvious.

ADHD: Attending to Process to Get Outcomes
Those with ADHD are not stupid. Their issue isn’t knowing what to do; it’s using the executive functioning brain to execute what they already know.

An ADHD Victory over Discrimination in the Ivory Tower
Get this! For students with disabilities, including those with ADHD, who asked for accommodations when taking the LSAT to get into law school, scores were flagged as such, opening the door to discrimination by a law school to choose which students were and were not accepted.

The Anatomy of a Story and the Benefit to Those with ADHD
Stories are powerful. Stories are what we tell ourselves about ourselves, our families, and our world. Stories impact how we attend to things and what we do with our lives. Stories can reduce our fears or send us into terror. They tap into our emotions. True stories do more than impart information. They move us emotionally and spiritually, because they find the deeper truth in what has happened. In this episode host, attention coach, Jeff Copper interviews comedian, professional story writer, and ADDer Rick Green about the power of stories. They look at the anatomy of a story, attend to its different parts, and illustrate how stories can be changed with simple shifts of perspective. In the end the topic sounds fun, but the real meat of the interview is around managing a story to have positive impact on ADHD and controlling it. Stories can become a powerful tool to help others understand that ADHD is real, can devastate lives, but properly dealt with, can become an ally. If you want to overcome stigma, fear, doubt, or dismissal from people and you’re tired of arguing, berating, and explaining to no avail, then don’t miss this show.

ADHD and Sales Careers: Not a One-Size-Fits-All-Solution
Episodic sales, reoccurring sales, create a need sale, replacement sales, product sales, intangible sales, wholesale and retail sales… There are many different kinds of sales, each requiring different kinds of talents.

ADHD: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics
“There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli. It has been said the phrase points to the persuasive power that statistics have in supporting weak arguments. Conversely, mastering statistics is a fundamental requirement of many sciences. In this episode, host, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper, interviews Dr. Russell Ramsay of the University of Pennsylvania around ADHD statistics. The diagnosis of ADHD is on the rise. What does this mean? Are we over-diagnosing? Or was ADHD under-diagnosed to begin with and we are just catching up? Could it be that ADHD symptoms lie on a continuum and those on the fringe who could get by without a diagnosis and medication in the past now need them in our changing social culture? Or is the rise attributed to gaming the system in the black market to divert stimulant medication to the street? What impact will the new DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) have on rates of diagnosis? Get the answers and more in this interview. If you are confused by ADHD statistics, join us as we pay attention to what the numbers pay attention to.

ADHD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - The Sequel
On January 16, 2013, in our interview with Dr. Roberto Olivardia on ADHD and obsessive compulsive disorder, we defined “obsessive” in the context of OCD, as well as “compulsive.” We looked at the nature of both words and how they differ; we also looked at the nature of OCD.

ADHD: Drowning in Media Sensationalism
The New York Times printed a tragic story of Richard Fee as told by reporter Alan Schwarz. The story is disturbing. In short, Richard Fee passed away because of inappropriate use of stimulant medication. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Dr. Ann Abramowitz and Dr. Theresa Maitland share the tragic stories of many who suffer because of inappropriate use of media sensationalism. The story is disturbing. What is even more disturbing is that the media would capitalize on the pain of the Fee family, using sensationalism that causes further stigma on sufferers of ADHD who take medications properly. Very simply, the media could use counterbalance in their reporting by featuring positive outcomes. Join host and attention coach Jeff Copper to hear our guests tell the rest of the story!

The ADHD Circus: Juggling It All
Do you remember Steve Martin’s bit in the 1970s about cat juggling? It might have been funny, but in reality it would be ugly and cruel to the cats. For many with ADHD, juggling work, sleep, eating right, exercise, stress management, friends and family, organization, time management, and the notion of simplification is ugly and anything but simple.

ADHD in Prison: The Travesty and Reintegration
Isn't incarceration about applying negative consequences in the hope individuals will see the light and change their ways? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken interview Rob Tudisco, a criminal defense attorney, around the topic of ADHD in prisons and the reintegration process. Listen in and become aware of how the system penalizes those with ADHD by removing the tools, structures, and resources that those with ADHD need to manage their ADHD effectively, like ADHD meds, special education services, counselors, therapists, and coaches. They discuss how the structured environment of a prison sets an ADD-er up for failure when released back into an unstructured world. We'll talk about other travesties for those with ADHD, such as the emphasis upon release to get a job with no regard to finding the right job. In the end, you'll see why most ADHD adults in prison had graduated from the juvenile justice system, and you'll understand why prisons like Riker's Island have more inmates with mental health issues than any mental health hospital in the country. Whether you have ADHD or not, this issue impacts you. Listen in, learn, and help educate society so we can build a better mousetrap.

ADHD: Advocating in the Educational System
In the real world, Section 504 and Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are enacted to protect those needs. But the question is: Does the real world work the way it's supposed to?

Rob Tudisco has ADHD and a depth of experience as an attorney specializing in education and criminal law. Now, he is the executive director of the Edge Foundation and one of the greatest ADHD community assets. In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper and co-host Kirsten Milliken take the opportunity to showcase Rob as he reveals how he manages his own ADHD and uses what he does to raise money for the Edge Foundation.

ADHD: The Difference between Diagnosis and How it Manifests
Do you “get” attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Yeah, yeah, yeah... it’s impulsivity, hyperactivity, and distractibility. You procrastinate, are late, and can’t find anything. All these are buzz words. Do you really understand how ADHD manifests? Specifically, how does your individual ADHD manifest in relationships? In church? With friends or in athletics? In bed, for both sleep and romance? ADHD coach Jeff Copper and psychologist Kirsten Milliken find many persons with ADHD are oblivious to how and when their ADHD manifests.

Many Faces of ADHD, but Only One Ink Spot That Stands Out
This week we celebrate ADHD Awareness Week with a very special show. Our guest is Evelyn Polk Green who is impacted by ADHD and is an ADHD leader. She is also a woman of color. At her first CHADD conference, her friend, a Caucasian, whispered in her ear: “You must feel like an ink spot.” Indeed, Evelyn is the ink spot in the ADHD community and among leaders of the ADHD community. Why is that? ADHD doesn’t discriminate by color. The question is why are there so few individuals of color involved in the ADHD community? Our plan is to find out in this episode when co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken talk with Evelyn on the topic. We’ll also be celebrating all Evelyn has done as a leader at different times for CHADD and ADDA. If you are impacted by ADHD, we encourage you to listen to this show no matter the color of your skin.

When Your IEP and Sec 504 Plans Aren’t Working
Let’s face it! It’s a one-size-fits-all world. Thus, when you’ve seen one person with ADHD, you have seen them all; right? In a perfect world, politicians would execute what they promised and schools would treat ADDers as if they were each unique. The fact of the matter is that limited resources and other demands result in one-size-fits-all generic accommodations. Clearly they work! Ever hear of a school calling for an IEP or Sec 504 reassessment meeting? Typically not. When the plan isn’t working, you would expect the school to call a meeting with the parents to discuss reworking the plan, but this isn’t the case. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, expert Dr. Jeffrey Katz engages in an open and frank discussion about the nature of schools, the value of an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE), and his personal strategy to help parents manage schools for the practical outcome they seek. Co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken give Dr. Katz an open forum to educate and empower you and give you a sense of what to expect. After our interview, stay tuned for some unplugged excerpts from our pre-interview with Dr. Katz.

ADHD: Experiencing Time to Manage It

ADHD: An Evening of ADD Poetry! Less Radio, More Concert
The Squirrtle is coming! The Squirrtle is coming! What's a Squirrtle? It's Wilma Fellman, part squirrel and part turtle, and the author of "The Other Me: Poetic Thoughts on ADD for Adults, Kids, and Parents."

The way she read the poem at the conference was also entertaining.” If you have ADHD, you're going to want to download this show and listen to it on your iPod on long walks, while soaking in the tub, or when just relaxing at the beach or poolside or, in the backyard.

ADHD: What is Intuition? How Can Intuition Help ADD-ers?
“My intuition tells me....” “I have a hunch!” “Go with your gut.” What does that mean? What is intuition? Are intuition and attention related, or is intuition just the object of attention? Should those with ADHD be concerned with or pay attention to intuition? In this episode, guest Dr. Ari Tuckman and co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken deconstruct intuition like never before. Why? Because the more you understand how something works, the easier it is for you to manage it. Understanding the nature of intuition can be very helpful for those with ADHD.

ADHD: How Exactly Did You Do That?
Got ADHD? Ever make it to an appointment on time? Ever complete a task or a group of tasks? Ever complete a project without procrastinating? If so, “How Exactly Did You Do That” (HEDYDT)? Seriously!

Executive Functioning in Adults with ADHD: A New Construct
Executive functioning and many components have been ambiguous concepts due to the lack of specificity and the lack of an agreed-upon definition. Dr. Russell Barkley is ready to change all that. He has constructed a new, more precise definition that acts metaphorically as a Swiss army knife cutting through the ambiguity, bringing clarity to what is and is not an executive function. With this in hand, he has conceptualized a new model of executive functioning as an extended phenotype. This new model shows why adult ADHD is a disorder of executive function. Even if most adults with ADHD are not impaired on neuropsychological tests of executive function. His new model has some very interesting implications for the assessment and management of executive function deficits as they exist in adults with ADHD. In this episode, host, Jeff Copper, discusses with Dr. Barkley this new construct in basic terms and discusses how the model would improve the assessment and management of ADHD moving forward.

Attention Challenges: How ADHD and Dyslexia Overlap
As they say, there are two sides to each coin. In the book, The Dyslexic Advantage, authors Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide deconstruct reasoning as they see it related to how the dyslexic mind processes information. Using their construct in the book as the means to understand how the dyslexic mind works, they address each form of reasoning as if it were a coin. The book offers practical insight on the challenges and then does the same by looking at advantages of the dyslexic mind related to each type of reasoning. In this episode, host Jeff Copper interviews Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide on their book.

ADD: The Neurotransmitters You Need to Meet
Once upon a time, ADD coach Linda Roggli (aka the ADDiva) had trouble remembering the names and interaction of those pesky ADHD neurotransmitters, which made it difficult to explain brain wiring to her clients.

Relationships: No way it's just about attention! WAY!
No way it's just about attention! WAY! Host and attention coach, Jeff Copper, looks at a not so obvious cause of friction in relationships. Jeff is joined by Todd and Bruce who share their new found insight around what amplified friction in their own personal relationships and how it revolutionized the way in which they go about managing it. “When we argue with a significant other around such things as finances, most can’t see ANY WAY the issue is rooted in anything other than money! I say WAY!” says Jeff. Most people pay attention to what is obvious....a financial discussion is about money. What they don’t pay attention to are things they can’t see or measure, like attention. When they look at arguments by paying attention to attention, they frequently see things completely different. In this episode, we try to gain insight on how attention might be the root or cause of a discussion over money that really has nothing to do with money on a direct basis.
