It’s funny to hear Tom’s story… it’s so similar to mine!
Interesting to think about ADHD and social justice. Is there any known relationship between ADHD and empathy?
Hmm… getting it wrong isn’t quite how I would describe social issues. It’s more like seeing multiple options and not knowing which one(s) the other person wants us to take, sometimes because they don’t know themselves. Makes people very hard work!!
I think one thing ADHD’ers struggle with is imposter syndrome, lack of self confidence, etc.
In addition statistically I think I read something like that by age 12 adhd children will have heard like 10,000 negative comments? Sorry I can’t remember the exact statistic.
Work like this will help remind people and allow them to reflect on good things about themselves! thank you!
Loving the PhD story… had two cracks at one (deep sea biology … and educational research… because… you know… the “thing” :-)). The freedom that came with being told “your job is thinking and going down rabbit holes looking for new connections” was amazing until being told that i had to crush down all that thinking into the prescribed format of the thesis (nevermind the constant progress reports)…. so yeah… two PhDs abandoned 🙁
That’s a shame. I could research for ever…
From my comedy duo. Westdal & Hayward.
“Beth’s got a PHD!”
“No Freyja, I’ve got ADHD!”
Thank you Tom, very positive! 🙂
